East
Africa Safaris
The
rich wildlife and stunning scenery make East Africa consisting of
Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda the perfect safari destination. Quality
safari lodges make East African safaris a great experience.
Kenya's Masai
Mara: The Mara is perhaps most famous for the snorting,
bellowing, thundering spectacle of over a million wildebeest on the
move - closely attended by all the big predators. The migration is a
seasonal event, rotating through the Mara and Tanzania's Serengeti
National Park.
Amboseli:
Amboseli
also known as elephant country, is a top destination for a Kenya
Safari. Indeed, one of the classic images of East Africa, let alone Kenya,
is that of a herd of elephant strolling across the plains with the
snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro in the background. It is to catch this
sight on memory - and on film - that people flood to Amboseli National
Park.
Northern
Circuit Tanzania: This is not one destination but several.
The Tanzanian Northern Circuit revolves around the iconic Serengeti
National Park, but it also includes the equally iconic Ngorongoro
Crater Reserve and a handful of smaller destinations
including Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Lake
Eyasi, Arusha National Park and of course who could forget Kilimanjaro
National Park.
The usual way to get the best of the Northern Circuit is a climb/safari
packages that taxes your physical endurance and then soothes it with a
relaxing safari among some of the greatest natural treasures in the
world.
The
Queen Elizabeth National Park Uganda: The park is
situated at the base of the Rwenzori Mountains in Uganda and covers
2090km2. Affectionately known as the QEII, the Queen Elizabeth National
Park offers an East African game park with crater-dotted hills and open
grassland. It supports an abundance of wildlife, including elephant,
lion, leopard and the unique Ugandan antelope, the kob.
Bwindi
National Park Uganda: The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a
magnificent green swathe of dense rainforest, so ancient it survived
the last ice age. Bwindi National Park covers 330 km2 of this
rainforest and spans altitudes of 1,100 metres to 2,400 metres - a
dramatic landscape of steep hills, narrow gorges and streams tumbling
down waterfalls.
A proclaimed World Heritage site, Bwindi is one of the most
biologically diverse areas on earth. Its unique, precious flora
sustains roughly half of the world's population of mountain gorillas -
believed to number just 600. There's also a substantial chimpanzee
population and Bwindi is the only forest in Africa in which these two
apes live together.
Apart from gorilla tracking, there are a number of other hikes and
trails within the park. |

As the sun rises
in the horizon
over the Maasai Mara, the propane burner roars filling hot air in the
balloon for a moment feel your body lift up, with you having no control
over it.
The
magnificent sight of Mount Kilimanjaro above herds of elephant crossing
the plains of Amboseli is a timeless African image and one of life's
most memorable experiences.
Serengeti is easily Tanzania’s most famous
national park, and the largest, at 14763 square kilometres of protected
area.
Uganda’s
star attraction is the endangered mountain gorilla, the bulkiest of
living primate, and among the most peaceable.
