One Of The Best Ways To Experience Africa's Magic Is A Kenya And Tanzania Safari

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.

Who would not like to see the King of the Jungle and his family in their natural habitat? A bonus would be if one witnesses in close proximity how a lion hunts a buck or a buffalo and move in for the kill! What few people know and even fewer have had the opportunity to see, is that lions love to laze high up in trees to get away from ants and wet grass. But there's much more to see in the African jungle and a Kenya and Tanzania Safari is a sure way to experience the best of African wildlife.

Kenya and neighboring Tanzania offer some of the best wildlife experiences one can dream of. This is where the Serengeti and Mt Kilimanjaro guard and groom the prolific fauna and flora that abound in vast plains. Imagine watching millions of wildebeest, gazelles and other plain game trekking over 800 kilometers in search of grazing? Or climbing to the summit of the highest mountain in Africa for a breathtaking view into infinity?

Tanzania is a beautiful country with luscious evergreen vegetation and many waterfalls feeding the outstretched crops. The northern safari circuit includes the Ngorongoro Crater and conservation area, as well as the national parks of Lake Manyara and Tarangire.

Tanzania also boasts several conservation areas and national parks teeming with wildlife. To the north is the Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara and Tarangire national parks, while the Selous game reserve and the Ruaha national park grace the south. Watching prides of lions and other wild animals gather around the water holes at sunset is the kind of scenes that movies are made of.

Kenya is the place where the concept of African safaris originated centuries ago when explorers, adventurers and the rich and idle came to find solace and escape from city life in the heart of the African jungle. Thanks to conservation efforts, most of the original features and creatures have been conserved in protected national parks and game reserves so that modern day's travelers and tourists can still enjoy the unique experience - albeit in a different, more sophisticated manner.

Kenya boasts over 50 national parks and game reserves, each abuzz with a huge variety of unique African creatures and features. Its majestic landscapes and features include the Great Rift Valley, Mt Kenya, Kyulu hills and many more. The locals speak Swahili and the indigenous Maasai tribe with their rich history and ancient traditions still evoke respect as one of the most celebrated cultures in Africa.

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!
