WHAT PERIOD TO VISIT
Anytime! Haydom is situated on altitude on top of the Great Rift, which makes
the temperature very
constant.
Use this image as a
reference for rainy seasons.
This is the temperature in
Ngorongoro where it can
be chilly.
For Haydom you could add
7 degrees to the
temperature. It can be warm in the sun, but not sweaty!
If you are planning to visit the ‘great migration’ in the Serengeti, be prepared
that the animals move according to the season.
A long but thin pair of trousers for men and either trousers or long skirt (below
knees) for women is perfect when visiting the hospital or church. A short
sleeved T-shirt or blouse is perfect for all occasions. When on safari or on the
guest house premises you can wear anything you like, like short trousers. You
can bring one long
sleeved shirt or sweater
for the evenings.
Medical personnel
wears white coat or
scrubs.

NATIONAL PARKS
TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK
Tarangire National Park is an astonishing park, known for the large herds of
elephants. Many animals visit the park during the dry season in search for
water of the Tarangire river. Great baobab trees make the area beautiful.
LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK
Lake Manyara National Park is not as known as the other parks in the
Northern circuit, but unique on its own. Stretched alongside the Great Rift,
with beautiful surroundings. Highlights are the numerous water birds and
monkeys in the small forest. If you are really lucky you might find lions
relaxing in a tree.
NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA
16. 16
Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a must-see. It is not a national park,
because Masaai live inside the area. The crater is probably the result of the
collapse of a volcanic mountain. It is possible that this mountain was even
higher than Kilimanjaro! The crater is an oasis with water and grass for all
the animals. A chance to see lion, leopard and even a black rhino.
SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK
Serengeti, the romantic park with endless plains. That is exactly what the
Masaai word ‘Siringet’ means. You reach this enormous park through the
Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The northern part of the Serengeti is part of
Kenya. The main tourist attraction of the Serengeti is ‘the great migration’
where enormous herds of zebra and wildebeest travel through the park in
search for green grass.
From December to April is the best time to see the animals, as the animals are
in the eastern part of Serengeti bordering the Ngorongoro conservation area.
More than 10.000 animals will get offspring around February. Because this part
of the park is the easiest accessible, it is also most visited and can be busy. April
and May is considered
rainy season, which comes
with lower pricing.
May to June the
wildebeest gather in the
south to prepare their
journey to the north
through the ‘western
corridor’. If the dry season
starts, around June-July
and there is a lack of food
they start to move. One of
the ultimate sights which is
17. 17
difficult to time is their massive crossing of the Grumeti river, where many of
them get eaten by the crocodiles.
In August the wildebeest cross the Mara river to Kenya, after which they are
more difficult to see. Mobile camps try to reach this northern area. It is still
considered a good time to see predators on the southern plains, as they are
non-migrating, territorial animals.
End October to mid-November the wildebeest will move south again, through
the Mara area to the Lobo area reaching the Ndutu area close to the
Ngorongoro conservation area.
