Around Tanzania the valley is deepest to the northern, central and southern part.<p>As the valley has no outlet to the sea, its lakes tend to be shallow and have a high mineral content as the evaporation of water leaves the salts behind.Example, Lake Manyara, Lake Natron, Lake Eyasi , Lake Makat , Momela lakes are all alkaline .<p>In Kenya there are Lake Magadi (sodium carbonate), Lake Elmenteita, Lake Baringo, Lake Bogoria, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha. <p>Original faulting activity that created the Rift weakened the Earth's crust along its margins. All areas around are volcanically and seismically active producing volcanic mountains such as Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya, Mount Karisimbi, Mount Nyiragongo, Mount Meru and Mount Elgon as well as the Crater Highlands in Tanzania and Ol Doinyo Lengai volcanoremains active, Currently the only natrocarbonatite volcano in the world<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggsMDA_urz1kpLnMCtYKI6NQufVIUrqbJxbuv7yNXfurHzWezx5sJIwJlhZcBG1uo0psWsIA_fNhaCi8KIC-lu5IchkHqF_1cr2TAuSAXNgb0s5Sl6_dZv-Ld784JFyS5mlc6KmpTOVUtY/s1600/active+volcano+Tanzania.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="214" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggsMDA_urz1kpLnMCtYKI6NQufVIUrqbJxbuv7yNXfurHzWezx5sJIwJlhZcBG1uo0psWsIA_fNhaCi8KIC-lu5IchkHqF_1cr2TAuSAXNgb0s5Sl6_dZv-Ld784JFyS5mlc6KmpTOVUtY/s320/active+volcano+Tanzania.jpg" /></a></div><p>Hence Rift Valley has been a rich source of anthropological discovery, especially in Olduvai Gorge.The rapidly eroding highlands have filled the valley with sediments, a favorable environment for the preservation of remains has been created.

They move in an annual pattern which is fairly predictable. They migrating throughout the year, constantly seeking fresh grazing and, it's now thought, better quality water. Precise timing of the Serengeti wildebeest migration is entirely dependent upon the rainfall patterns each year – here we explain how the broad pattern works.<p><strong>Serengeti wildebeest migration month by month </strong><br />
The short rains begin around early November. A little after this, in late November and December, the herds of the wildebeest migration arrive on the short-grass plains of the Southern Plain of Serengeti. These are south and east of Seronera, around Ndutu , Gol Mountain and include the north of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Dispersed across these plains, wildebeest and zebra are everywhere – feeding on the fresh, nutritious grasses. They stay here through <strong>January, February and March </strong><br />
, with most wildebeest calves born in a short window around February. Gradually they spread west across these plains, then around <strong>April </strong><br />
they start their great migration north <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1EwklSrbO533pu8gAa9bvK1sl3eXIGX4rK6i8LHgD6ZOvQI_qt46-hfLxlSVc7_SvZa9VzvCwZn2X4NPE2ddqfyJjm1VgAt1TiIYbnk68eQmCbt6ZiuJh6VPrYAVN_D9dLXDbp0ayVqGP/s1600/serengeti+natural++trail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="213" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1EwklSrbO533pu8gAa9bvK1sl3eXIGX4rK6i8LHgD6ZOvQI_qt46-hfLxlSVc7_SvZa9VzvCwZn2X4NPE2ddqfyJjm1VgAt1TiIYbnk68eQmCbt6ZiuJh6VPrYAVN_D9dLXDbp0ayVqGP/s320/serengeti+natural++trail.jpg" /></a></div>By <p><strong>May </strong><br />
the Serengeti's wildebeest all seem to be moving western seronera, migrating to seek fresh grazing and water. The area around Moru Kopjes and west of Seronera is then hectic with a series of moving columns, often containing hundreds of thousands of animals – joined by many zebra, and a scattering of Thompson's and Grant's gazelles. Some of the migration then head due north of Seronera, but most are usually further west. Around <p><strong>June</strong><br />
the wildebeest migration is often halted on the south side of the Grumeti River, which has some channels which block or slow their migration north. The wildebeest then congregate there, in the Western Corridor, often building up to a high density before crossing the river. The river here is normally a series of pools and channels, but it's not continuous – and so whilst they always represent an annual feast for the Grumeti River's large crocodiles, these aren't usually quite as spectacular as the crossings of the Mara River, further north. The wildebeest migration continues moving northwards during <p><strong>July and August</strong><br />
, often spreading out across a broad front: some heading through Grumeti Reserve and Ikorongo, others north through the heart of the Serengeti National Park. <p><strong>September</strong><br />
sees the herds spread out across the northern Serengeti, where the Mara River provides the migration with its most serious obstacle. This river gushes through the northern Serengeti from Kenya's adjacent Maasai Mara Game Reserve. Watching the frantic herds of the wildebeest migration crossing the Mara River can be very spectacular; there are often scenes of great panic and confusion. It's common to see herds cross the Mara River north on one day, and then back south a few days later. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj46rflMpJQzq32ov9ta6m4umjTWEYT3VPSTifOp10qm4dnff_p1_zsLfgIaWOVyGWE-wgdhPztuShVWM29ROdrhXkggB3G-Hqyf7saUiyKr9lzHgXXyRv0b5jLthjzCPn_ujBDWhxnCRZR/s1600/Nature+trail+world.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj46rflMpJQzq32ov9ta6m4umjTWEYT3VPSTifOp10qm4dnff_p1_zsLfgIaWOVyGWE-wgdhPztuShVWM29ROdrhXkggB3G-Hqyf7saUiyKr9lzHgXXyRv0b5jLthjzCPn_ujBDWhxnCRZR/s320/Nature+trail+world.gif" /></a></div>By<p><strong> October </strong><br />
the wildebeest herds are migrating again with more accord: all are heading south, through western Loliondo and the Serengeti National Park's Lobo area, returning to the green shoots which follow the rains on the short-grass plains of the southern Serengeti in<p><strong> November</strong><br />

It involves huge bonfires, mocks fights with banana palms between the men and much banter between the women , dressed in their best and their menfolk . It is believed that since everyone has had a chance to vent their hard feelings the New Year ca be started with a clean slate and in harmony so each day ends with much feasting , singing , dancing and parties on the beach . The festivities vary from village to village but it is at Makunduchi that the biggest celebration take place.
