Cultural activities at Mto wa Mbu, you will expirience a night Game drive in Tarangire National Park, a night time safari offers a very different experience to a daytime safari. Aside from the beam cast by the single spotlight, which a guide will swing in large gentle arcs as he searches for animals, there is nothing but blackness. But out of this darkness comes noises. There’s always the incessant high-pitch scream of the cicadas and these might be interspersed with a throaty call from the tree frogs and the snorting and grunting of invisible zebra, impala and wildebeest. Then, quite suddenly, glowing green eyes are caught in the spotlight beam. A creature has been found, but what is it? It takes a moment for our slow and unresponsive eyes to focus.
The scenery around Lake Natron is what attracts visitors to the region during their active-adventure travels in East Africa. The dramatic landscape is dotted with many of Tanzania’s most recognizable landmarks, such as Ol Doinyo Lengai and Gelai volcano, a 9652-foot peak located at the southeast edge of the lake. To the west is the site where a perfectly preserved hominid jaw and teeth, known as the “Peninj mandible” was found. Touring Lake Natron in expedition mode with AfricanMecca encompasses a variety of activities, such as walking safaris, flamingo walks, volcano climbing and cultural tours.
