Kenya and Tanzania are destinations without equal in the realm of safari travel, since both lay claim to several national reserves and wildlife parks that enjoy international acclaim for their scope, beauty and abounding nature. We get our fill of the remarkable natural environments of these two first-rate tour destinations with visits to world-famous conservation areas -- Mt Kenya Conservation Area and Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya; Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the place that has become synonymous with the term ‘safari’: Serengeti National Park in Tanzania -- wherein we see huge arrays of teeming wildlife and we balance exploration of nature with cultural discovery of East Africa. In parks and reserves, we see, to name but a few, lions, leopards, buffalo, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, hippos, plains game and hundreds of species of bird; we learn about and appreciate the man-made world by spending time in coffee and tea plantations, visiting museums, investigating archaeological excavation sites, stopping in at colonial villages and attending bustling bazaars. Ending our adventure on a high note, we head to the island paradise of Zanzibar to wander the winding alleys, see grand mosques and Arab houses and embark on a fascinating ‘spice tour’.
