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's wildlife is world-renowned and it's small wonder that the term Big Five originated here. It refers to the most popular, most dangerous and also most difficult indigenous big game to hunt on foot in Africa, namely the African lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, African leopard, and the White/Black rhinoceros. Watching the King of the Jungle hunt, rein and conquer in its own untouched kingdom is a life-changing experience! One of the best ways to experience Africa's magic is a Kenya and Tanzania Safari.

Kenya and its neighboring country, Tanzania, boast some of the best national parks and game reserves in Africa. The Serengeti is world famous and a must on any adventurer's bucket list! It is the starting point of the annual wildebeest migration - rightfully one of the most spectacular sights in nature! Watching almost 2 million wildebeest trek from a sightseeing point is an unforgettable experience and if your vehicle is parked on their route, you can expect that one or two wildebeest will put their heads through the window to inspect the strange bipeds inside!

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.

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.

Visitors who want a true African experience can select any of a number of tailor-made safaris that include both Kenya and Tanzania. Combining these two iconic destinations offers one the best of both worlds and an unforgettable and authentic African experience of a lifetime!
