Kenya and Tanzania

Why go: Kenya and Tanzania are sometimes mixed into one journey. Many individuals think about these two counties among the many finest locations to go in Africa as a result of they’re the place you possibly can see the Nice Migration—the place 2 million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle make a migratory circle from the Masa Mara in Kenya to the Serengeti in Tanzania and again once more.

However even in case you don’t go throughout the migration, Kenya and Tanzania have a number of the most intensive populations of wildlife in all of Africa; it’s not unusual to see 50 elephants in a herd, or to see the Large 5 (lion, rhino, cape buffalo, elephant and leopard) in your first recreation drive.

And, after all, Tanzania is house to Mount Kilimanjaro—one of many nice bucket-list mountain climbing locations in your complete world.

When to go: “Keep away from the long-rains of April and Might. Should you’re going to catch the migration, it’s July by September,” says Daniel Saperstein, co-owner of Hippo Creek Safaris and an Africa journey specialist.
