Photographs of the spectacular pink masses of Lesser Flamingos on the Great Rift Valley's soda lakes grace the pages of many books, magazines, tourism marketing brochures, postcards, and calendars. It is in fact fairly high on the agenda for many ecotourists travelling to East Africa to get to see these pink spectacles and to take photographs of these elegant birds.







Serengeti National Park and its surrounding Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) in Northern Tanzania is quite possibly the greatest wildlife area on the continent! One of the world’s last terrestrial mammal migrations is housed on these great plains, stretching over an area of 15 000 square kilometers and forming the bulk of a larger ecosystem covering 25 000 square kilometers in size. With so much on the hoof, there are plenty of predators in attendance, but the Serengeti and NCA offers far more than just prolific wildlife! There is also plenty of wilderness on offer and a mosaic of habitats, including beautiful Acacia woodland, not to mention an infamous caldera going by the name Ngorongoro Crater.
