On Safari in East Africa!

East Africa offers an extraordinary opportunity to view wildlife in natural habitats, and the region’s reputation as the quintessential safari destination is well deserved - expansive, open savannahs, acacia trees and impressive herds of wildlife. East Africa is also home to the Great Migration where over a million herbivores (wildebeest and zebra) make their way through the Serengeti eco-system following the green grasses. East Africa also offers amazing trekking opportunities, beautiful beaches and rich, traditional tribal cultures.

Tanzania is arguably one of Africa's best-kept secrets! 

• Tanzania's national parks and conservation areas cover an area in excess of 200,000 square kilometers (76,200 miles). 
• Gaze in awe as millions of herbivores cross the Serengeti, especially during their annual migration.
• Marvel at the Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest unbroken caldera.
• Explore the remote Selous Game Reserve and the world-famous Serengeti National Park.

SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK - 
The Serengeti National Park, established in 1951, spans 14,800 square kilometers (5,714 square miles), reaching up to the Kenyan border in the north, and is acclaimed as one of the finest parks in Africa, with its vast open grasslands allowing for excellent wildlife sightings. The Serengeti is perhaps most well known for the annual migration that takes place across the great savannah plains. This is a phenomenal sight: thousands and thousands of animals, particularly wildebeest, as far as the eye can see.

NGORONGORO CRATER was established in 1959, is the largest intact caldera in the world, and some scientists maintain that before it erupted, it would have been higher than Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest point in Africa. The crater is situated in a conservation area, where wildlife is protected and the Masaai herdsmen graze their cattle side by side with predators and prey. In 1978 it was declared a World Heritage Site in recognition of its beauty and importance.

SELOUS GAME RESERVE - 
An excellent safari destination, the Selous Game Reserve consists of the Kilombero Game-Controlled Area in the west and the Mikumi National Park in the north. The Selous is of great historical interest, from the rise of prehistoric man through the passage of caravans transporting slaves and ivory and the campaigns of WWI.

LAKE MANYARA - Lake Manyara National Park is one of the most diverse of Tanzania's national parks, a tiny (325 square kilometres/125 square miles) combination of Rift Valley soda lake, dense woodlands and steep mountainside. The park was established specifically to protect the elephant herds that have made the area world-renowned.


Kenya Highlights

• Kenya abounds in diverse landscapes and large concentrations of game
• Renowned for its warm and hospitable people
• Kenya is rich in spectacular national parks: the Masai Mara, Meru Meru and the smaller, but no less remarkable Samburu

MASAAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE - Without a doubt Kenya's premier area for wildlife, the famous Masai Mara National Reserve covers an area of 1,510 square kilometres/575 square miles and forms the northern extension of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. It is famous for its annual great migration of more than two million wildebeest, gazelle and zebra. Almost every species of animal you can think of in relation to East Africa lives on the well-watered plains in this remote part of the country. The Masaai Mara is not a national park but a game reserve, the difference being that people, the Masaai, have the right to graze their herds on the land.

AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK -
Situated due south of Nairobi, Amboseli National Park is a mere 392 square kilometres/151 square miles in size and centers on Ol Tukai, an area containing several swamps that are magnets for wildlife. No visit to Amboseli is complete without a trip to Observation Hill for the best view of Mount Kilimanjaro

TSAVO NATIONAL PARK -
The main road from Nairobi to Mombasa splits Tsavo National Park into Tsavo East and Tsavo West. The eastern section, which consists of large regions of flat, dry thorn bush, is dominated by the Yatta Plateau. In contrast, the western section is much more scenic with a vista of volcanic mountains, hills and outcrops with magnificent views.
