The Dilly LamaNothing beats the exhilaration of an African safari tour, and while most African safari tours are fantastic, you simply cannot go wrong if you choose one of the three top African safari destinations mentions here!
Masai Mara National Reserve easily makes it to the top of the table-you get guided tours on the Masai culture, and you get to see thousands of migrating zebras and wildebeest! The next best African safari destination is Kruger National Park, and here you are allowed to rent a car and explore the park on your own! And when it comes to witnessing the life of the mammoth South African elephants, you cannot get a better African safari park than the Chobe National Park. This park has the highest number of animals and it encompasses more than 4 diverse ecosystems!

h.koppdelaneyA safari is an overland journey, typically a trip by tourists to Africa. Customarily, the term is used for a big-game hunt, but today the term often refers to a trip taken not for the purposes of hunting, but to observe and photograph animals and other wildlife. There is a certain theme or style associated with the word, which includes khaki clothing, belted bush jackets and pith helmets or slouch hats.
Today there are many operators throughout the African continent offering different levels of safari service, from lodge based tours, where clients travel between lodges or tented camps often by air, fly in safaris where clients will meet the camps and staff after travel by plane or helicopter, to the true Mobile Safari operation where the clients travel with the Guides, staff and equipment from site to site. The Mobile Safari offers guests a genuine safari experience, they are often very ecologically friendly as they allow areas to regenerate and wildlife do not become as habituated to human presence as they may with a permanent lodge or tented camp.

Tim Pearce, Los GatosKenya is the place to come for an exciting safari. The East Africa Region is bestowed with a lot of wildlife including a wide variety of birds and mammals, and also exhibits a cultural diversity and natural habitat like no other. Its stunning scenery with breathtaking landscapes and white sandy beaches is unmatched.
The glittering lakes of the Rift Valley and the rolling grasslands with the scattered tress of the Masai Mara, made famous by the incredible yearly migration of millions of wildebeest and zebras. Kenya's birdlife is also amazingly rich, with four hundred species at the Rift Valley lakes alone; the rosy-pink view of the flamingo population on Lake Nakuru is particularly spectacular.
Lake Nakuru National Park is also known as the best small park in East Africa with a large concentration of rhino. The Masai Mara fulfils all of your expectations of endless plains, steep escarpments and abundant game.
