A Kenya And Tanzania Safari Is A Sure Way To Experience The Best Of African Wildlife

By Elsa Noel


An African safari conjures up images of breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, vast open spaces and of course - wildlife! The home of the famous Big Five (lions, elephants, buffalo, African leopard and white/black rhinoceros), Africa is renowned for its pristine natural beauty in which unique wild animal species abound.

Africa is the land of sunshine, incredible sunsets, wide open spaces and wild, wonderful creatures and features. This is where the Big Five roams and the King of the Jungle reins. Watching a pack of lions climbing up a tree to get away from ants or wet grass, or hunting down a buck, is a sight to behold! A Kenya and Tanzania Safari will introduce you to Africa's unique natural wonders and wildlife.

Exploring the magnificent abundance of wildlife and unique features of Kenya and Tanzania fills one with awe for nature's unsurpassed beauty. The world-renowned Serengeti (meaning endless plains) is the starting point of the annual great wildebeest migration between January and March, when about 260 000 zebra, 1,7 million wildebeest, 470 000 gazelles and thousands of other animals embark on a 800 km journey to greener pastures. This migration from Tanzania's Ngorongoro area to the Maasai Mara Reserve in lower Kenya, is one of the most extraordinary natural phenomena in the world.

Another world-famous landmark in Tanzania is Mt Kilimanjaro (Mountain of Greatness) - the highest mountain in Africa. At 19,341 feet above sea level, this dormant volcanic mountain with three volcanic cones is also the highest free-standing mountain in the world. The challenge to reach its summit (Uhuru Peak) has become a major tourist attraction.

To the south is the equally beautiful Selous game reserve and the Ruaha national park. The magnitude of wildlife and unique fauna and flora one finds at these reserves are beyond compare. The highlight of any visit to Tanzania is Mt Kilimanjaro - climbing this majestic mountain has become one of the most popular extreme outdoor adventures in the world!

More than 50 national parks and game reserves teeming with wildlife make Kenya one of the best places to get a true experience of African wildlife. The Great Rift Valley, Mt Kenya, Kyulu hills and the unique Maasai Village are just some of the main attractions not to be missed.

Boasting more than 50 national parks and game reserves, Kenya is a true wildlife paradise. The Great Rift Valley, Mt Kenya and the Kyulu hills, as well as the Maasai Village, are some of the most popular tourist attractions apart from the wildlife.

Today there are dozens of exciting tour packages for an unforgettable African experience. Both Kenia and Tanzania cater for luxury and shoestring travelers alike. Whether you want to play it rough, or be pampered amid the wild, a personalized itinerary can be arranged. Just don't miss the adventure of a lifetime and remember - Hakuna Matata!
