The Ngorongoro Crater - Tanzania The Ngorongoro Conservation Area which covers 8,300 sq km is home of Ngorongoro Crater-the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world, formed some 2.5 million years ago from a volcanic mountain sinking due to inactivity, and was initially thought to be higher than Tanzania’s famous Mt. Kilimanjaro. The crater measures 20 km’s across and the rim walls stand 600m high. The crater has evolved into a unique and integral part of Tanzania’s eco-system. Views from within and from the rim are breathtaking. The crater houses 30,000 animals including the big five (rhino, elephant, buffalo, lion & leopard) and a large variety of birds, which rarely move from the area due to the availability of water through wet and dry seasons. Interesting enough is the way human being – the Masai living together with the wild animals……

Memories of My CLIMBS to the Top of Africa - Mount Kilimanjaro. Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain in Africa, making it one of the seven summits. Here are the seven summits in order from highest to lowest. Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania Mount Elbrus, Russia Denali, Alaska (formerly known as Mount McKinley) Aconcagua, Argentina Vision Massif, Antartica Puncak Jaya, Oceania Mount Everest, Nepal/China Kilimanjaro is very popular with both experienced hikers and first time adventurers because it is considered to be the easiest of the seven summits. Scaling the mountain requires no technical skills or equipment, such as rope, harness, crampons or ice axe. Therefore, it is a hiking or “walk up” peak, not a mountaineering or climbing peak. Many people who climb Kilimanjaro have no significant hiking or backpacking experience when they arrive. Kilimanjaro is not only Africa’s tallest peak, but also the world’s tallest free standing mountain. The summit, named Uhuru Point, is 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level. Most high mountains are part of ranges, such as Mount Everest’s Himalayan Mountain Range. These are formed in a process called plate tectonics. Below the ground, Earth’s crust is made up of multiple tectonic plates. These plates have been moving since the beginning of time due to geologic activity. Geological Mountains Formation Inside the Earth there are very very slowly Moving plates When plates push against each other, the edges crumple, forcing slabs of rock into the air. These are known as fold mountains and are the most common type of mountain. A fault-block mountain range is caused when a fault (crack) in the Earth’s crust pushes blocks of rock up between two tectonic plates. The uplifted blocks become block mountains. Free standing mountains like Kilimanjaro are usually a result of volcanic activity. Volcanic mountains are formed when molten rock erupts, and piles upon the surface. As mentioned above, Kilimanjaro was formed

However, they usually involve very basic camping accommodation OR low costs accommodation outside the park. The costs can range from US $ 250 TO 350 PER PERSON PER DAY. A mid-range safari is the most popular type of safari as it gives you a very comfortable experience and great value for money without the very high costs of a luxury safari. The costs can range from US $ 350 TO 600 PER PERSON PER DAY. Luxury safari - What’s the difference with a Luxury safari: The main difference with a luxury safari is the accommodation and methods of transport.

Ol Doinyo Lengai (2890 metres) is located some 240 kilometres to the northwest of Arusha town, along the western escarpment of the Great Rift Valley, overlooking Lake Natron on the border with Kenya. Ol Doinyo Lengai, or Mountain of God in Maasai, is the only active volcano in Tanzania. The mountain can be climbed in 6 hours, affording breathtaking views of the Great Rift Valley and volcanic formations in the Ngorongoro highlands as you get to the summit. It is an adventurous hike starting at dawn. Lying on the base of the mountain, Lake Natron is said to be the only breeding area for the endangered Lesser Flamingoes that live in the Great Rift Valley and it is believed to be the world’s most important breeding site for the Lesser Flamingoes, accounting for 75 per cent of the global population. The soda lake sits on the lowest point of the Great Rift Valley part in East Africa and is quite shallow, less than three metres deep, and varies in width depending on its water level. The temperatures in the lake mud can reach more than 40 degrees Celsius where evaporation causes high alkalinity. It is said the lake’s high alkaline environment is a barrier against predators trying to reach the flamingo nests. The area around Lake Natron is often described as having a desolate and almost lunar landscape beauty. Walks around the lake and to the streams and waterfalls along the nearby escarpment, make for a fantastic adventure off the beaten track. Tourists activities around Mt Oldonyo Lengai. 1. Trek to Engaresero waterfall 2. Visiting Lake Natron and see flamingos and different types of birds like marabou stork, vultures, hornbill 3. visit Maasai bomas and Information center 4. t is possible to see wild animals like giraffes, zebra, wildebeests, different types of antelopes.
