Africa...a few of our favorites
Tanzania and Kenya May 15- 26, 2023 Travel agents sometimes are offered FAM trips or Familiarization Trips at a reduced rate, so they can get first hand knowledge of a destination. Normally, one agent from an agency is allowed on these trips and clients are never included. However, we were able to get an exception, due to Covid crippling tourism, we can invite guests.
We believe you should see as much as possible "while you are in the area" so we have added a Kenya extension prior to the Tanzania FAM that is also an exceptional price. Naturally, David and I will be doing both Kenya and Tanzania and, as animal and cultural lovers, we are very excited about these destinations and witnessing the great Migration. This 7-day safari FAM, which features both traditional safari lodges and a luxury tented camp experience, Visiting the world heritage site of Ngorongoro Crater and the world-famous Serengeti National Park.
Tanzania manages more than 20 national parks and national game reserves, where visitors can view some of the country's most spectacular wildlife, including the Big Five animals. Tanzania's tropical coastline connects the country to the Indian Ocean and Zanzibar Islands.

Fulfill your wanderlust with an African Safari
An Africa safari is an unforgettable experience. The continent has a secret superpower. It transforms people. A destination for extraordinary wildlife viewing. Africa is the world’s number one destination for safaris. The continent’s vast and diverse nature makes it complex and difficult to decide on the best region for a safari. But the east, central and southern parts of the continent are by far the preferred choices. Below is a quick guide to some of the safari hot spots on the African continent. East Africa The Serengeti wildebeest migration is the main reason Kenya and Tanzania have become popular safari destinations. This migration sees millions of wildebeest, zebras and predators following their prey, move between Tanzania and Kenya. The best places to view this migration include Kenya’s Masai Mara and Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. The Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area is also a great choice with an abundance of big 5 - the African elephant, African lion, white/black rhinoceros, African leopard and the Cape buffalo - and will not disappoint. Central Africa An area of immense natural beauty. Rwanda and Uganda are great places to view the endangered mountain gorillas. The best places for Viewing are Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in south-west Uganda, or Volcanoes National Park in north-west Rwanda. Various factors have threatened the population of gorillas. Today, due to conservation efforts, the population of mountain gorillas is showing steady growth. Many tourists are attracted to the idea of being able to get close to these animals. In Rwanda you can also combine a gorilla trek with a Golden monkey trek. Southern Africa South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi offer very diverse wildlife. This is because of the variety of biomes in the region. Chobe National Park is home to the biggest concentration of elephants in the world - 70 000 of them. It lies between the Chobe River and the Okavango Delta in the north eastern parts of Botswana. Also in Botswana, the Moremi Game Reserve, in the iconic Okovango Delta, is the first reserve in Africa to be established by local residents. The Etosha National Park in the northern arid region of Namibia offers great chances of spotting endangered black rhinoceros as well as flamingos in the salt pans. The Kruger National Park in South Africa is one of the best known parks because of its diversity of animals as well as private upscale lodges that surround the national park. While Kruger tends to be pricey there are other, equally good, options available through out South Africa that are also malaria free. isimangaliso Wetland Park was the first site in South Africa to be awarded World Heritage status. It contains most of South Africa’s remaining swamp forests and is Africa’s largest estuarine system, which is a partially enclosed body of water where fresh water from rivers and streams mix with salt water from the ocean. The park borders Kosi Bay and St Lucia Lake which is the only place in the world where you can find sharks, hippopotamus and crocodiles in the same body of water. Addo Elephant National Park in the Eastern Cape province is the only park where you can find the Big 7: the African elephant, Cape buffalo, African lion, African leopard, African rhino as well as whales and Great White sharks. The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park consists of mostly unspoiled wilderness in the north of South Africa, crossing over into Botswana. This park is largely located in a desert area and is famous for animal species such as the Kalahari black-maned lions and the Gemsbok or Oryx. |
