National Parks

East Africa, which consists of Kenya. Tanzania and Uganda is often considered the cradle of mankind. Its believed by some to be where a species of Homosapiens took tentative steps in an upright position.

The region is a land of many contrasts semi-desert, snow-capped mountains the likes of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya on the Equator, Huge Lakes like Lake Victoria the source of River Nile.

Kenya, East Africa's largest economy is famous for its game viewing and many operators offer varied ways of experiencing this. The Wildebeest migration is one of the most amazing natural spectacles which happens in two game reserves the serengeti of Tanzania and Kenya's masai mara. Game can be seen year round, but migrates in May/June, July/August and again in September/October.

The Serengeti and Masai mara as considered extensions of one another and of all of Kenya's National parks and game reserves, the masai mara is considered as the most favourite and the most popular with tourists.

This park is estimated to have over 140,000 visitors a year. With its rolling grasslands and wide-open savannahs plains, the Masai Mara is the kind of unfettered, sprawling wilderness one would think only existed on Hollywood film sets. But it's real and out there. Described by some as where the land pulses with raw energy and a dazzling array of animals takes centre stage.
