the Ngorongoro Highlands, Lake Victoria and Tanzania\u2019s northern border with Kenya stretches one of the world\u2019s last great wildlife refuges \u2013 the Serengeti. The name comes from the Maasai \u201csiringet,\u201d meaning \u201cendless plains\u201d. The Serengeti\u2019s 14,763 square kms contains about three million large animals, most taking part in seasonal migrations, unparalleled in nature. Twice a year, triggered by the rains, 1.4 million wildebeest, 300,000 zebra and 300,000 Thomson\u2019s gazelle gather to undertake the long trek to new grazing lands. The migration of the herbivores roughly defines the boundaries of Serengeti National Park, which is the central zone of the Serengeti ecosystem, an area that also takes in Kenya\u2019s Maasai Mara National Reserve, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Maswa Game Reserve in the west. Within this 25,900 square kms of varied landscape live thirty-five species of plains game and 500 bird species.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3a8896f elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3a8896f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2a5f9ac\" data-id=\"2a5f9ac\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff6829b elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ff6829b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInDown&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1705\" src=\"https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Elephants-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-238\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Elephants-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Elephants-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Elephants-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Elephants-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Elephants-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Elephants-2048x1364.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Elephants-1568x1044.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" style=\"width:100%;height:66.6%;max-width:2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-355d6f8\" data-id=\"355d6f8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a021b4 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6a021b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">EXPLAINED IN BRIEF<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-801139b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"801139b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Ngorongoro Conservation Area<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21cf9f9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"21cf9f9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Ngorongoro Conservation Area covers 2286 sq km and encompasses the volcanic area around the Ngorongoro Crater \u2013 including the still active volcano of Oldonyo Lengai and the famous Olduvai Gorge.

The floor of the crater is only 100 sq miles but is home to around 30,000 animals with a high concentration of predators. The crater supports up to 25,000 large mammals. Grazers dominate: zebra, wildebeest \u2013 accounting for almost half the animals \u2013 gazelle, buffalo, eland, hartebeest and wart hog.

Breeding herds \u2013 comprising large numbers of females and young with a few attendant older males \u2013 are probably unable to find sufficient quality food in the crater. Ngorongoro has carnivores in quantity, drawn by the large herds of prey animals. It has the densest population of large predators, mainly lion \u2013 about 100 \u2013 and more than 400 spotted hyena, living in eight clans of up to eighty individuals. Both lions and hyenas will scavenge from each other, depending on weight of numbers and of course, hunger. Most of the bird wildlife in Ngorongoro is seasonal. Also influencing the variety of bird species on display is the ratio of soda water to fresh water \u2013 soda water has the largest expanse of water on the crater floor, Lake Magadi. The lake is alkaline due to deposits of volcanic ash thrown out by surrounding volcanoes. The Empakaai Crater (2\u00ba55\u2032 S, 35\u00ba50\u2032 E, 2,400 m a.s.l) lies within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in northern semiarid Tanzania. The caldera is about 35 km2, with the rim ranging from 2,700 to 3,500 m a.s.l. An 80-m deep alkaline lake, Emakat, partly occupies the caldera floor. The vegetation in the highlands (2300-3100 m a.s.l) consists of a mixture of dry evergreen forest with Juniperus procera, Tecla simplicifolia and Nuxia congesta and highland shrubs and grassland. Small patches of moist evergreen forest with Hagenia abyssinica are limited to the southern part of the caldera. Above the forest afroalpine Artemisia moorland can be found. The eastern slopes receive about 1000 mm\/yr. Rainfall varies considerably due to orographic effect with a significant year to year variation. Hagenia abyssinica, a component of moist evergreen forest, being the most dominant taxa of the pollen sum, this is due to the humid condition.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-155c49f elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"155c49f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-67f05af\" data-id=\"67f05af\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0039dce elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0039dce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInDown&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"699\" height=\"936\" src=\"https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/elephant-arusha-14.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-303\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/elephant-arusha-14.jpg 699w, https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/elephant-arusha-14-224x300.jpg 224w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 699px) 100vw, 699px\" style=\"width:100%;height:133.91%;max-width:699px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-79755a3\" data-id=\"79755a3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5237505 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5237505\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">EXPLAINED IN BRIEF<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb4f47a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fb4f47a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Tarangire National Park<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cece04c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cece04c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Tarangire National Park derives its name from the Tarangire River that rises in the highlands of central Tanzania and winds its way through the game sanctuary.

Hence, a leisurely drive along this \u201criver of life\u201d, guarantees spotting of lots of animals \u2013 both resident and migrants.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f08705f elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f08705f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2cd649d\" data-id=\"2cd649d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6ea0a1 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d6ea0a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInDown&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1247\" height=\"936\" src=\"https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/tree-lion-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-335\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/tree-lion-2.jpg 1247w, https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/tree-lion-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/tree-lion-2-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/tree-lion-2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1247px) 100vw, 1247px\" style=\"width:100%;height:75.06%;max-width:1247px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-54708f5\" data-id=\"54708f5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b11c83 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9b11c83\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">EXPLAINED IN BRIEF<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0449a1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c0449a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Lake Manyara National Park<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bdb1b7c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bdb1b7c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Entering the park the tall trees surround the ground forest. In many ways it resembles a tropical rainforest \u2013 with its verdant foliage and variety of bird life \u2013 the difference being these trees are supported by a water supply from underneath rather than by abundant rainfall. Following the formation of the Rift Valley, streams cascaded down the rocky walls and, because there was no outlet, a lake was formed. It was at its largest about a quarter of a million years ago. The average area of the lake is around 390 square kilometers varying from year to year. The lake harbours abundant aquatic life ranging from pink flamingoes to elegant pelicans. The hippos are no doubt commandingly noticeable in the inlets of various rivers &amp; rivulets feeding this lake with fresh water. At the far southern end of the park, are some Hot water springs owing to the vulcanicity which the whole region went through, about a million years ago. Perfectly popular are the tree-climbing lions of this park \u2013 they are known to take this position especially during the dry season on the low-lying branches of the dominant umbrella acacias.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1deec7a elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1deec7a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ae586f8\" data-id=\"ae586f8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7269258 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7269258\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInDown&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1323\" height=\"796\" src=\"https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/colubus-at-arusha.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-122\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/colubus-at-arusha.jpg 1323w, https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/colubus-at-arusha-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/colubus-at-arusha-1024x616.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/colubus-at-arusha-768x462.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1323px) 100vw, 1323px\" style=\"width:100%;height:60.17%;max-width:1323px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-eac0f46\" data-id=\"eac0f46\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04d6a73 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"04d6a73\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">EXPLAINED IN BRIEF<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38cbcda elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"38cbcda\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Arusha National Park<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0ad3b1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b0ad3b1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Arusha National Park is a secret jewel of many facets. It is not only the closest National park to Arusha town, but also one of the most beguiling. This is a treasure, a rich tapestry of habitats, teeming with animal and birds. The park has three distinct zones that contribute to its variety and beauty: the lush swamps of Ngurdoto Crater; the tranquil beauty of the Momella lakes, each a different hue; and the chill rocky alpine heights of Mount Meru rising to 4,566 metres (14,990 feet). Zebra graze on red grasslands, wide-eyed dik dik dart into scrubby bush-like overgrown hares on spindly legs. Duikers lurk shadowy forests that are draped with waterfalls. Reedbuck pick through marshy pools. There are more than 400 species of birds. Fluffy-tailed black and white colobus monkeys riot in the damp forest mists. Giraffes glide across the grassy hills. In the distance Mount Kilimanjaro watches over all. But it is her unassuming cousin, Mount Meru that dominates, offering unparalleled views of the famous neighbour.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b696494 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b696494\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dad4893\" data-id=\"dad4893\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-3976373 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3976373\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-bb1a20b\" data-id=\"bb1a20b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02052d0 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"02052d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Help Me Plan My Safaris!<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-595fefc elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"595fefc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:360}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Here at Africa yetu safaris, We help our clients\/visitors to the archive their dream safaris.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c03b893 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"c03b893\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:720}\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/www.africayetusafaris.com\/index.php\/contact\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Contact us<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tour Destinations Home Destinations Serengeti home to wildebeest Migration EXPLAINED IN BRIEF Serengeti National Parks Between the Ngorongoro Highlands, Lake Victoria and Tanzania\u2019s northern border with Kenya stretches one of the world\u2019s last great wildlife refuges \u2013 the Serengeti.
