Tanzania Wildlife
Tanzania’s national parks and game reserves cover one seventh of the country and include the Serengeti National Park, which is famous for its vast migratory herds of plains animals, particularly wildebeest, zebra, eland and kudu. There are small bands of chimpanzees that can be found in the Gombe National Park along Lake Tanganyika. The steep mountain walls of the Ngorongoro Crater provide protection and a natural enclosure for animals in an environment of great natural beauty. The crater forms a part of the Ngorongoro Park. Rhino and elephant numbers are still low due to poaching in the past, despite the government’s protective measures. |

 It’s been some months that we haven’t seen the Albino Kingfisher. This bird caught our attention in such a way that, whenever we go out on game drives, we were so excited to see and show it to our guests. Because this bird is an outcast, he was chased away by all the other Grey Headed Kingfishers and later on we thought he left the area....

It was so wonderful to sport a leopard stalking a gazelle!

After some months of dry season this year, Lake Manyara was almost completely dry. Most of the flamingos moved to other nearby alkaline lakes. But just like miracles, after it had rained, the lake is no longer greyish from all the dry soil but a pink cloud of flamingos that is all over the lake with nice calls in a background from every corner. It’s very...

 The honeycomb moray is one of the largest morays living in this area. This juvenile one has been on the house reef, preying on small reef fishes until it reaches maturity and will then move to deeper waters. Something interesting to know about morays, is that, because they don't have gills, they have to open their mouth to filter water, making them...

 Today is one of those days that you see what you didn't expect to see. I was driving from the Northern part of the reserve looking for two male cheetahs. I saw this albino zebra on the base of Lengawas hills instead. She was with other zebras. I think I saw an albino zebra last year but I'm not sure if this one is the same one. When the wildebeest...

 What a day! We were driving along silio stream and saw the Black rock pride. They were about 18 lions all together but were scattered on the plain. One by one they started to move. It was around 18h30. We followed them for 15 minutes. One lioness called striker saw a congress of baboons up on a shepherd tree. Four youngsters couldn't run quickly and...

 It is always nice to watch when animals are in action. Today we were so lucky to see these two zebra males fighting near Silio.The grass was burnt two weeks ago and the new grass emerged as the short rains continued to pour in the area. The migration herds have moved in the area and cats are always on action.

 Although it is possible to view lion on the crater floor, it is not possible to see bull buffalo grazing close to the lion The bull was very relaxed and close to two big male lions. This amazing sighting happened yesterday during our normal game drive in the crater floor. This bull buffalo was 10 meters away from these male lions and was very relaxed,...

 We were really excited to find our first seahorse here in Mnemba. The little guy was slowly drifting away from the house reef and he has been hiding in his patch of seagrass for the last week, which provides him with food and protection. Photo credit : Ross MacLeod

We were in the reception area when one of the Askari came in and said that he saw a leopard making its way towards us near the Green hurt house. I asked him to walk back again and see if we could see it. We saw it trying to hide from us.
