Manyara lake

It is situated between the western rift an the alkaline lake. The park, which extends itself in a km. 325 area, offers five different eco-systems: equatorial forest, xerofilo forest with palms and acacia trees, the lacustrine environment with swamps and cane-brakes, the savanna with bushes, the volcanic sites with warm sources.
The coexistence of various environments reinforces the presence of different animal species: elephants, lions who are used to climb up the trees. Thousands of water-birds, among them pink flamingoes, come here to reproduce by the side of the lake.

Ngorongoro

The volcano, which is about to be extinct, is km 18 wide and mt. 650 high. On the base there is a lake, which is formed by some sources: this is the habitat for numerous water-birds species. The crater is surrounded by the Ngorongoro Conservation area, where there was a difficult approach of cohabitation between man and animal: the Masai live there with their herds, even if since 1979 they haven't been able to plant the fields.
