Embarking on a safari in East Africa is like stepping into a live wildlife documentary where nature unfolds it’s raw beauty and diverse wildlife. This region, particularly Kenya and Tanzania, offer some of the most spectacular wildlife experiences in the world. It is often said to be one of the best places to see the famous Big 5: lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros. The Serengeti is known for having vast herds of wildebeest and zebra moving along their circular route across Tanzania and Kenya. Experience the incredible calving season on the verdant plains as far south as the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, excellent for spotting lion, leopard, and cheetah.
