While there are many destinations on this planet claiming to offer the authentic safari experience, there are few that can compete with the wealth of experiences available in East Africa.
Where is East Africa?
When it comes to defining the exact countries that make up the region known as “East Africa”, one typically encounters some confusion and possibly a heated debate. Some may argue that Madagascar and Mozambique should be considered within East Africa, while others will say they fall into Southern Africa. Some people consider East Africa to only comprise of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, while others include Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia within its domain. Whichever stance you take in defining the boundaries, Kenya and Tanzania are always included in the count.
Between them, Kenya and Tanzania hold some of the richest and most diverse game viewing environments on the African continent. From lush tropical jungles teeming with monkeys and parrots to the hot dry shores of the world’s largest desert lake – the level of adventure you are looking for from your safari experience can almost certainly be achieved between these two countries.
