Check Out These Safari In Africa Vacations Destinations!
There are no shortage of safari in Africa vacation tours for enthusiasts keen to experience one of the world's most magnificent and mysterious continents close up. What do you know about Africa? While jungles and wildlife quickly come to mind, Africa is so much more in terms of culture and history. An safari in Africa vacation will also be an educational experience; one you won't realize you're having until you are well into your tour.
As far as destinations are concerned, let's take a look at some of the more popular areas as we journey through deep, darkest Africa!
South African Safari Tour
Despite turbulent past, South Africa offers a combination of both modern and historic destinations and is home to Kruger National Park,one of the world's first wildlife conservation parks. South Africa also has a lot to offer in the way of marine biology and when booking a tour, be sure to include these areas as part of your itinerary. Depending on the level of comfort and length, tours can range at a cost of a few hundred dollars up to $10,000.
Tanzania Safari
Described as a magnificent wildlife haven, Tanzania is also home to two of the world's most famous landmarks, the Serengeti National Park and Mount Kilimanjaro. However, it's Tanzania's lesser known parks that make it an African Safari tour dream destination. Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire aren't as famous as the Serengeti but each is a must see when travelling through this fauna and flora rich country. Tanzania has plenty to offer for safari in Africa vacation enthusiasts.
Kenya Safari
Do you want to get up close and personal with some of the world's most famous wildlife? A Kenya safari will certainly give you the opportunity to do this under expert guidance. Home to the famous Masai Mara National Park, lions, elephants, rhinos and a myriad of other species are prevalent and spotted in Masai Mara making it a photo rich environment. Surrounding game reserves such as Samburu and Amboselli frank Kenya's standing as an safari in Africa vacation haven. Tours come in all shapes and sizes ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
Botswana Safari
I wish I had the time and space because writing about Botswana is hard to do in such a short time. It's an safari in Africa vacation tour littered with potential highlights. Botswana is a great place to safari in for those with a bit of an adventurous spirit and a love of dangerous game. Moremi Game reserve in the eastern Okavango Delta is a must visit for lovers of big cats such as lions, cheetahs and leopards. Throw in the Central Kalahari and Chobe National Parks and Botswana enscapulates what Africa, in a traditional sense, is all about. A variety of tours are available, again, ranging from several hundred to several thousand dollars but in all honesty, to get a greater appreciation of Botswana, then an extended stay should seriously be considered.
Each of the safari in Africa vacation destinations reviewed in this report will offer everything you are looking for in a safari. It might pay to ask your travel or booking agent about tours encompassing all four destinations. Time is a big factor but those who get the best out of African safari tours usually include more than one area to visit. If you have extra time on your hands, it might be a great way to go!
