If you have never been on an African safari before, you may be
at a loss as to where to go. If you have been on one, you might
want to plan on going somewhere different. Not because you
didn't enjoy where you went, but because there are so many
beautiful things to see in Africa.
>From snow covered mountains and beautiful waterfalls, to sandy
deserts and aquatic reefs, Africa has got it all. Not to mention
all the wildlife. Gorilla trekkers, bird watchers and
fly-fishermen will all be equally delighted. If you love
beautiful landscapes and communities rich in culture, you'll
find that, too.
East and Central Africa
The eastern Africa and central African regions are loaded with
many game parks which include a large variety and population of
animals, from the wildebeest of Kenya (middle of the year) and
Tanzania (early in the year) to the gorillas of Uganda.
East Africa's landscape includes the spectacular and majestic
Mount Kilimanjaro and the famous volcanic Ngorongoro Crater, the
largest of its type in the world, which is home to thousands of
animals such as Zebra, wildebeest, black rhino, prides of lion
including the black-maned males, leopard, cheetah, hyena,
elephants, warthog, impala, buffalo, hartebeest, eland and other
members of the antelope family.
South Africa
Southern Africa also offers a magnificent scenario for a great
safari. South Africa offers an outstanding and rewarding
game-viewing experience. Tours here are normally conducted in
open 4x4 safari vehicles, giving you greater visibility than a
mini-van (commonly used in eastern and central African safaris).
South African guides are highly trained and professional. Many
camps offer night tours and walks, as well as safaris by canoe
and even elephant back!
Some of the cities are beautiful, and the coastline of South
Africa and the striking landscapes are sure to please.
Namibia is a good place if you are looking for elephant, rhino,
lion and giraffe.
All the large mammals can be found in Botswana; elephant,
buffalo, red lechwe, lion and cheetah are plentiful.
Many consider Zimbabwe to be the best of Africa. This beautiful
country offers Victoria Falls, rolling hills, rock art, and game
parks that are home to large herds of elephant and buffalo,
sable and roan antelope.
Zambia is a definite favorite for those who love to go on an
African safari. Zambia has many well managed camps in wilderness
areas known for concentration and diversity of game, bird life
and game fishing. These can be found in the national parks of
South Luangwa and Kafue National Park.
A great way to wrap up your African safari is to visit the
Indian Ocean islands, which include Malawi, Mozambique,
Mauritius, Madagascar, and the Seychelles Islands. These waters
hold hundreds of species of fish, making them a haven for
anglers. You can also enjoy snorkelling and scuba diving among
the colorful fish, gorgeous flora and fauna, countless coral
reefs and marine life.
Be sure to send a postcard.
