Hakuna Matata! Anyone embarking on a trip to Africa quickly learns the meaning of this Swahili expression - No Worries! In Africa, there are NO WORRIES - only the beauty and magic of the moment to be captured. This attitude applies to everything in the wild, where life and death is constantly in the balance and nature rules supreme.
Africa is the land of sunshine, incredible sunsets, wide open spaces and wild, wonderful creatures and features. This is where the Big Five roams and the King of the Jungle reins. Watching a pack of lions climbing up a tree to get away from ants or wet grass, or hunting down a buck, is a sight to behold! A Kenya and Tanzania Safari will introduce you to Africa's unique natural wonders and wildlife.
Exploring the magnificent abundance of wildlife and unique features of Kenya and Tanzania fills one with awe for nature's unsurpassed beauty. The world-renowned Serengeti (meaning endless plains) is the starting point of the annual great wildebeest migration between January and March, when about 260 000 zebra, 1,7 million wildebeest, 470 000 gazelles and thousands of other animals embark on a 800 km journey to greener pastures. This migration from Tanzania's Ngorongoro area to the Maasai Mara Reserve in lower Kenya, is one of the most extraordinary natural phenomena in the world.
Another world-famous landmark in Tanzania is Mt Kilimanjaro (Mountain of Greatness) - the highest mountain in Africa. At 19,341 feet above sea level, this dormant volcanic mountain with three volcanic cones is also the highest free-standing mountain in the world. The challenge to reach its summit (Uhuru Peak) has become a major tourist attraction.
Tanzania also boasts several conservation areas and national parks teeming with wildlife. To the north is the Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara and Tarangire national parks, while the Selous game reserve and the Ruaha national park grace the south. Watching prides of lions and other wild animals gather around the water holes at sunset is the kind of scenes that movies are made of.
Kenya is the place where the concept of African safaris originated centuries ago when explorers, adventurers and the rich and idle came to find solace and escape from city life in the heart of the African jungle. Thanks to conservation efforts, most of the original features and creatures have been conserved in protected national parks and game reserves so that modern day's travelers and tourists can still enjoy the unique experience - albeit in a different, more sophisticated manner.
Any trip to Kenya or Tanzania will bring you into close contact with the proud tribesmen of the Maasai culture, dressed in traditional red and proudly carrying a handmade wooden spear. The biggest part of the Serengeti was once known to outsiders as Maasailand. It will stand any visitor in good stead to learn some Zwahili words such as Jambo (hallo, how are you?) and Karibu (welcome) in order to show goodwill and respect to these fierce warriors.
Today there are dozens of exciting tour packages for an unforgettable African experience. Both Kenia and Tanzania cater for luxury and shoestring travelers alike. Whether you want to play it rough, or be pampered amid the wild, a personalized itinerary can be arranged. Just don't miss the adventure of a lifetime and remember - Hakuna Matata!
