MOSHI, Kilimanjaro, Tanzania— Locally-owned Zara Tours is not only Tanzania’s largest Kilimanjaro outfitter, but also one of the country’s largest safari operators. In addition to visiting the iconic national parks, Zara also offers the chance to experience the Hadzabe bushmen, the last tribe of hunter-gatherers in East Africa and the cultures of the Maasai tribes. It offers seven unique weekly departures on exciting trips ranging from five to ten days through the Great Rift Valley in the northern part of the country. The Great Rift Valley stretches 5400 miles from Syria to Mozambique and was created by tectonic forces that created some of the highest mountains and deepest lakes in the world, including Lake Victoria, the second largest in the world. The area is volcanically and seismically active, which produced volcanic Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya and the volcanically active Oldoinyo Lengai, as well as numerous hot springs and shallow soda lakes. The area contains a number of national parks that protect wildlife, as well as many archaeological and anthropological discoveries. Zara’s safaris include the endless plains of the Serengeti, home to a million wildebeest and herbivores such as elephants, rhinos and buffalo, along with their predators. Nearby Ongorongo Crater is the largest unbroken volcanic caldera on Earth, which is a natural enclosure for elephants, cheetahs, lions, leopards, antelopes and the last remaining population of black rhinos in the country. Olduvai Gorge may be the cradle of civilization, as it contains human fossils dating back over 2.5 million years. Zara owns the Highview Hotel in Karatu Ngorongoro, gateway to the Northern Circuit game parks, set between the northern highlands Forest Reserve of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the surrounding coffee farms. It’s the ideal base for short excursions to Lake Eyasi area, a home to Hadzabe Bushmen, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Parks. An essential part of any safari is the chance to stay in a tent, from which one can hear elephants lions and hyenas calling, watch zebras and gazelles grazing and smell the changes in the air as night falls and day breaks. Zara owns safari camps called Tanzania Wildcamps. The two at Serengeti National Park offer easy access to the yearly migration of wildebeests and zebras in the Seronera, Ikoma and Lobo areas, as well as safaris by land or balloon in the Serengeti. The Serengeti Wild Camp and Ikoma Wild Camp offer comfortable safari tents and traditional round huts respectively, each with shower, toilet and two king beds, and a large dining tent. The Ikoma Wildcamp has the additional advantage of offering a walking safari into the bush country between the Grumeti - Ikorongo Game Reserve and newly-established Ikoma Wildlife Management Area. This is the only opportunity within the Serengeti-Mara Ecosystem to see wildlife while on foot and have a bush lunch away from camp. Between August and October guests can observe the migration of over 2 million animals moving between the Maasai Mara and the Serengeti National Park. A third Wildcamp recently opened at Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a home of Maasai communities, which have lived in harmony with wildlife for thousands of years. This is the place for those who wish to come and discover the secret behind this ongoing coexistence. Future plans include a Wildcamp in Saadani National Park, where the beach meets the bush; and Selous Game Reserve, the largest protected area on Earth, larger in size than Switzerland or Denmark. Due to its pristine and uninhabited nature, the buffalo, elephant, hippo and crocodile populations are the largest in Africa. The area also boasts over 440 species of birds. Guests at the camp see hippos grazing in front of their tents at night. For more details on Zara Tours see www.zaratours.com or call 866-550-4447 or email zara@zaratours.com. ### |
