Surprisingly enough good food and local shopping is easy to find.Major hotel chains offering comfortable accommodations are located just off the 99 High

I love birds. I really enjoy tracking birds especially during my private Tanzania camping holidays or as I enjoy my budget Kenya Safari trips. Birds are beautiful creatures with a very simple life. Their lifestyle is simple and adorable. Most of their life is spent looking for food and composing wonderful melodious songs that form a crucial part of our films and songs. I like the way they are organized by nature in such a way, that a particular species of birds will participate in completing the
Kenya was identified as the original home of fantastic safari by legendary personalities such as Ernest Hemingway and Karen Blixen.

The adventurous lives of most consultants and guides, especially those in tourism fraternity, starts at a tender age. This is later developed into a hobby as they grow up doing almost the same type of activity that forms part of their life. Take an example of an orphaned Masai boy who grew up looking after cattle. In Kenya, Masai is one of the 42 ethnic tribes who have managed through thick and thin to maintain their traditional African culture. Their lives revolve around cattle rearing and mig

This is the home to millions of wildebeests... each one driven by the same ancient culture of annual migration from Tanzania to Kenya via the seasonal Mara river., fulfilling its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life: a frenzied three-week bout of territorial conquests and mating; survival of the fittest as 40km (25 mile) long columns plunge through crocodile-infested waters on the annual exodus north; replenishing the species in a brief population explosion that produces more than 8

Tanzania as one of the most popular Africa safari destinations has a lot of experiences to offer. Thousands of wildebeest migrate in mindless unison on the annual migration through the Serengeti is just one of the natural wonders yet to be understood. Big family of mighty elephants graze across the wide, muddy Rufiji and Tarangire rivers as a pride of well-fed lions sunbathe on the grassy floor of the majestic Ngorongoro Crater, among many more attractions, make up the unmistakable Tanzania adve
The future of the Masai Mara game reserve and the continued existence of the abundant game inside it is directly dependent on the Masai communities living around it. The pastoralist Masai community keep herds of cattle, sheep and goats as a pride of wealth and their main source of daily livelihood. They also keep donkeys as beasts of burden. Their large herds of cattle can graze up to some interior parts of the reserve. If no care is taken, this can prove to be a threat to drive away the wild

When thinking African wildlife safaris, many agree that one of the most exciting spectacles on earth is the great wildebeest migration that occurs between Tanzania’s national park and Kenya’s Masai Mara. The wildebeest, zebra and antelope make the constant migration from one end of the wilderness to the other. This movement is driven by their need for pasture and drinking water. And as the over 1.9 million animals move northwards from the Serengeti into Masai Mara, they are hunted all the t
