The Two top locations to go on Safari!
Many people could never really afford to go on Safari holidays, so the Tour Operators have started to bring down prices, and now they have become very competitive. There are now so many places for people to go, it can be difficult to make decisions about where to experience these holidays. Kenya and Tanzania, these are the two of the most famous places to go on Safari. Although Tanzania and Kenya are famous for there safari locations, the more specific locations for these great safaris are the Masai Mara in Kenya west of Nairobi and the Serengeti in Tanzania.
If you go by quality and popularity, the Masai Mara is considered to be Africa’s finest national game reserve. This is the location where you can find all of the worlds most amazing land animals, the lions. Big Cat Safari’s are extremely popular in Kenya. The chance to see Lions, Cheetahs and Leopards in their own environment is something that everyone can enjoy. There is also a yearly event that takes place in Kenya, called the Circular Migration. If tourists can time their Kenya holidays just right, then they can get the chance to see almost 2 million herbivores travel through the Masai Mara and into the Serengeti. If you like to take lots of pictures then this is definitely the place for you camera trigger happy people, every picture provides you with something to remember.
The Serengeti national park is probably the second best known of all the Africa Safaris and the area it covers is considerably more than the Masai Mara. The Serengeti also has a large amount of woodland, making the animals that survive here a lot more diverse. If you were to compare the sizes or the Masai Mara and the Serengeti you will find that the Serengeti is much larger, however they do both have something in common, in the sense that the Circular Migration heads through both of them. You can also combine these holidays with holidays to other areas as well, Zanzibar or the Mauritius provide great double holidays. Tanzania is home to some truly great animals, the most majestic of all is the elephant, although you can take some nice pictures of this animal, i wouldn’t recommend getting to close!
If you haven’t decided on one of these, personally I recommend Kenya holidays, although Tanzania holidays are great, the Maasai Mara has a lot to offer any tourist. Christmas Holidays are becoming increasingly popular, especially on Safari holidays.
