TanzaniaIt i n e ra ry
This phenomenal National Park, created to preserve the path of the world’s largest
migration circuit, covers nearly 15,000 km2. It provides an exceptional landscape
for wildlife - and the ultimate safari experience.
Serengeti
Mwiba Wildlife Reserve, part of the great southern Serengeti ecosystem, borders the
Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Far off the beaten track, guests have nearly fifty
thousand acres to themselves!
Established to protect one of the more unique areas within the Greater Serengeti Ecosystem, Mwiba Wildlife Reserve offers excellent game viewing year round. The Great Migration passes through here in the green season, and in the dry season
you’ll see an abundance of animals gathering around the watering holes.
Mwiba Reserve
Located in the Mwiba Wildlife Reserve, set among huge stone boulders, ancient coral
trees and shady acacias, Mwiba Lodge is the newest addition to the Legendary
Expeditions portfolio.
Mwiba Lodge
Eight exquisite suites, with elegant decor combining traditional and modern
elements, have given ‘bush luxury’ a whole new meaning. The suites have their own
spacious lounge decks with sprawling views over the African wilderness.
As part of the Greater Serengeti Ecosystem, Mwiba provides an
unmatched safari experience with extraordinary game viewing and rich
cultural interactions.
Lake Natron
Close to the Kenyan border within the Gregory Rift Valley lies Lake Natron, one of the most important flamingo breeding
grounds on earth.
Its alkaline waters are often bright red in colour, due to the salt-loving micro-
organisms that thrive here.
Caustic and forbidding in nature, Lake Natron is strikingly fascinating, and a
spectacle worth experiencing.

On the northern Tanzania boarder within the Gregory Rift Valley, stands the
astonishing mountain of Ol Doinyo Lengai - the “Mountain of God” in Maasai.
Unique in that it is the only known active volcano to erupt natrocarbonatite
(sodium-rich) lava. Its lava fountains harden midair, then shatter like glass.
Ol Doinyo Lengao rises majestically about 2,000 meters from the East Africa Rift
Valley depression to a summit elevation of 2,890 meters.
Ol Doinyo Lengai
Burunge is located between Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Parks in Northern Tanzania. This wildlife corridor is of high
conservational significance, with game passing through year round.
On the plains, lions and cheetah make for exciting game viewing. Herds of elephant
and buffalo roam through the corridor, and in the dense woodlands in the inner part of the concession, leopards, eland
and lesser kudu can be seen.

Burunge
Within the Burunge, on the western side of the wildlife concession lies Chem Chem Lodge - offering bush luxury and
privileged access to this incredible wildlife rich wilderness.
Chem Chem Lodge
Chem Chem has eight tented cottages, created from canvas, lava-stones and
wood. Blended perfectly with the natural environment, each tent has an outdoor
shower and wooden deck where you can watch the African sunset.
Chem Chem has a spacious central main house, surrounded by natural bush,
overlooking the Great Rift Escarpment and Lake Manyara National Park. The
pool is hidden in the trees and is a welcome escape from the afternoon heat.
Stretching for 50km along the base of the vast Rift Valley escarpment, Lake
Manyara is a scenic gem offering a wilderness experience in diverse habitats.
Its alkaline waters attract over 400 species of birds, the most prolific are pink
flamingos that flock here in thousands, and its acacia woodland is a haunt of
Manyara’s legendary tree-climbing lions.

On the banks of Tanzania’s Lake Eyasi lives the world’s last hunter-gatherer tribe
- the Hadza. They live a life unchanged for more than ten thousand years, hunting
baboons, birds, antelope and buffalo with hand-made bows and arrows, in a hot desolate landscape. Their language, Hadzane, is rhythmic and punctuated by clicks, and believed to be the oldest still spoken. About one thousand Hadza still live in caves, and no laws, taxes and or
money is of relevance to them.
