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

By Elsa Noel


Hakuna Matata! Anyone embarking on a trip to Africa quickly learns the meaning of this Swahili expression - No Worries! In Africa, there are NO WORRIES - only the beauty and magic of the moment to be captured. This attitude applies to everything in the wild, where life and death is constantly in the balance and nature rules supreme.

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.

Exploring the magnificent abundance of wildlife and unique features of Kenya and Tanzania fills one with awe for nature's unsurpassed beauty. The world-renowned Serengeti (meaning endless plains) is the starting point of the annual great wildebeest migration between January and March, when about 260 000 zebra, 1,7 million wildebeest, 470 000 gazelles and thousands of other animals embark on a 800 km journey to greener pastures. This migration from Tanzania's Ngorongoro area to the Maasai Mara Reserve in lower Kenya, is one of the most extraordinary natural phenomena in the world.

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.

Both Kenya and Tanzania boast breathtaking natural landscapes and an abundance of extraordinary wildlife. At any of the main natural waterholes, one can at any given time expect to find elephants, rhino, zebras, buffalo, leopards, gazelle - and of course lions! - competing for preference. Especially at sunrise and sunset, these waterholes attract thousands of game. The Ngorongoro Crater and conservation area, as well as Lake Manyara and Tarangire, are some of the main tourist attractions in Tanzania.

Kenya is where African safaris originated. This vast country and its magnificent variety and diversity of wildlife and natural resources, was in earlier years a magnet to especially the rich and famous, who flocked here to have a true African wildlife experience. Today, the country still attracts drones of people from across the globe, but its magic has become more accessible to include both rich and shoestring travelers.

Any trip to Kenya or Tanzania will bring you into close contact with the proud tribesmen of the Maasai culture, dressed in traditional red and proudly carrying a handmade wooden spear. The biggest part of the Serengeti was once known to outsiders as Maasailand. It will stand any visitor in good stead to learn some Zwahili words such as Jambo (hallo, how are you?) and Karibu (welcome) in order to show goodwill and respect to these fierce warriors.

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!
