GUIDE TO EAST AFRICA
Kenya
Safari is Swahili word for “journey” and it is in Kenya where safaris begin. Magnificent national parks and reserves brim with wildlife. Lush forests, breathtaking mountains and tribal cultures plus the amazing quality and variety of birdlife, make Kenya a fascinating destination. The 500 kms of crystal-clear breaches of the Kenya Coast welcomes the visitors to relax and enjoy the peaceful white-sand beaches. It’s perhaps the wildlife more than anything that draws visitors to Kenya, boasting some of the finest reserves in Africa and visitors are thrilled at the sight of lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, gazelles, buffalos, hippos, rhinos and hundreds more.
Tanzania
Tanzania is most famous for the vast Serengeti National Park, stretching out for almost 15,000sq kms. But there is so much more to this most fascinating country. Ngorongoro Crater, a World Heritage Site, is home to a host of wildlife that make the crater floor their natural habitat. Tanzania’s Rift Valley features the popular Lake Manyara and Tarangire Parks. Ruaha and the Selous in the southern part of Tanzania are spectacular, with abundant game. To the coast, the “spice island’ of Zanzibar is well worth visiting. Possibly the most well-known sight of all is the snow-capped tip of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Uganda
As the pearl of Africa, Uganda’s beauty is only surpassed by its most famous attraction – Bwindi, home of the elusive and treasured gorilla. Half of the population of the world’s gorillas live in the Virunga Mountains where the Zaire, Rwanda and Burundi borders meet. The other half are found in the forest of Bwindi, formerly known as the Impenetrable Forest.
