The world is changing fast, and the tiny pockets of unspoilt natural beauty are fast disappearing, with animal species on the extinction list, lost and never to be seen again. If you have yet to observe the Big 5 in their natural habitat, now is the perfect time to book your next year’s holiday with a luxury African safari. However, there are so many countries in the African continent. We thought you’d like some pointers regarding the best location, with specific up-to-date information on the premier safari venues.
Tanzania
Officially the Republic of Tanzania, this East African nation is within the African Great Lakes region, with Uganda to the north and Kenya to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the east and Mozambique and Malawi to the south. Africa’s tallest mountain, Mt Kilimanjaro is located in the northeast of this unique country.
The jewel of Tanzania is most definitely Serengeti National Park, the largest of several national parks and the perfect place to get close up to majestic elephants, wildebeest herds, which are followed by prides of lions and other big cats that inhabit this pristine natural wilderness. Giraffe, hippo, cheetah and many other species can be observed, and with a local English-speaking guide, you can learn a great deal about life in Tanzania, as well as being informed about the animal behaviour, which is sometimes more than a little strange.
The countries of Uganda and Rwanda are also great for seeing gorillas and chimpanzees.
