Laikipia
plateau
Dawn
breaks in golden bands as we start our day in the
bush by scanning the river from our tent’s veranda
with a cup of steaming coffee in hand. Before the
dew is off the grass, we’re off in pursuit of
the elephants, lions, leopards, and cheetahs that
thrive in the reserve’s grasslands and acacia
woodlands.
And
so the day is spent in alternating pursuits of exploration
in the bush and relaxation in Mutamaiyu House on Mugie
Ranch.

the next leg of our journey to Ngorongoro, the eighth
wonder of the natural world.
Along
the way we drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation
Area—a region created to accommodate the grazing
needs of the Masai people and a unique test of the
idea that humans leading a pastoral lifestyle can
coexist with wildlife. We arrive at Ngorongoro in

Ngorongoro Crater
This
morning we descend 2,000 feet into the giant caldera
of this extinct volcano. This magnificent natural
amphitheatre contains the largest concentration of
animals in all of Africa. Prides of lion, black rhino
and elephant share this land with the legendary Maasai
tribesmen. Because the grasses are short, game is
easily spotted and can be approached quite closely.
We spend a splendid morning on the floor of the crater
observing wildlife in this ageless World Heritage
Site.

Serengeti National Park
The
Serengeti National Park is our destination today.
En route we stop at Olduvai Gorge, the “cradle
of mankind,” where the Leakey family uncovered
the fossil of Homo habilis, who lived 1.75 million
years ago. Arriving at our lodge in time for lunch,
we find ourselves deep in the heart of this famous
migration corridor.
With
its wide-open spaces, bright blue skies and creature-filled
landscape, over the next two days we will discover
why the fabled Serengeti typifies the dream of “Old
Africa.” Large prides of lions laze in the long
grasses; plentiful families of elephants feed on acacia
bark and trumpet to each other across the plains,
while giraffes, gazelles, monkeys, eland and the whole
range of African wildlife present themselves in awe-inspiring
numbers.
