Nature and Wildlife

An awe-inspiring wildebeest stampede , a group of lion cups clumsily trying to climb a tree while their mum is lazily enjoying the early morning sun, a magical gorilla encounter , a graceful herd of impala resting under a group of trees, a close encounter with an elephant and her baby who can't see you but visibly get nervous as they smell you, sweeping views of miles of golden grass dotted with thorny bushes and ringed by blue hills .

Eastern Africa is a region of breathtaking beauty and great contrasts - from palm-fringed sandy beaches on the Indian Ocean to the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mt Kenya straddling the Equator; from tropical rain forests to harsh arid deserts in the north; from vast open plains and savannah to acacia woodlands; from small farms to rich ranches and estates of tea, coffee, pineapple, banana, wheat and sisal; from small muddy rivers teeming with hippo and crocodiles to Lake Victoria, the source of the Nile river and the largest lake in Africa, and Lake Tanganika, the 3rd deepest lake in the world, full of tropical fish. A distinguishing feature of the region is the the Great Rift Valley , a massive fracture line in the earth's surface which runs from Jordan through Kenya and Tanzania to Mozambique and contains spectacular soda and fresh water lakes, interspersed by volcanoes.

 



A large proportion of Eastern Africa is reserved for its wildlife - game reserves are situated in some of the finest scenery in Africa. The proliferation and diversity of the animal and bird life is second to none, and the marine life in the coral gardens off shore is spectacular.

We will take you to Eastern Africa's most famous national parks - the Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Nakuru, Samburu and Amboseli – where the game is so used to visitors that photographic scoops come easy. Beyond these, we will introduce you to lesser known but equally spectacular parks and private reserves, where you will never bump into other travellers . You can easily get away from the beaten path, witness unforgettable sunsets on the mighty Rufiji river in the Selous, see elephants and antelopes cavorting at the beach in Saadani, have close encounters with chimpanzees in Mahale and Gombe Stream or venture into remote Meru, Laikipia, Katavi or Ruaha, where you'll rarely see another vehicle.
