Tanzania - Another world heritage site?

It is understood that Dar es Salaam has applied to UNESCO for the declaration of the Udzungwa Mountains National Park as a World Heritage Site. The park, referred to as an ‘undiscovered gem' offers a wide range of mammals, the red colobus monkey, 400 bird species, numerous butterflies and the highest waterfall in Tanzania (the 170m Sanjes Falls). The park also offers extended walks and hikes through rain forest. At present no formal accommodation exists within the park.

Migration Update from LLA


Despite having received a lot of rain showers in and around the various areas of Serengeti National Park, the wildebeest herds have remained in and around the Moru Area throughout the month of April. Only now have they started moving north west but very slowly.

Clients have had excellent sightings throughout their safaris not only have they seen the ‘big 5’ but one group even witnessed a couple of hungry lioness’ kill a zebra for their afternoon tea!

Therefore the saying to avoid Tanzania in the rainy season is a myth and in our personal opinion one of the best times to come to the destination.
