AFRICA • TANZANIA, KENYA & UGANDA<br />

Discover Tanzania, Kenya & Uganda<br />

Tanzania’s vibrant landscapes are a<br />

photographer’s dream, from snow-capped<br />

Kilimanjaro to exotic Zanzibar, via the<br />

plains of the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro<br />

Crater. Visitors can witness dramatic<br />

wildlife spectacles such as the annual Great<br />

Migration. Neighbouring Kenya is home to<br />

wide-open spaces, impressive mountain<br />

ranges, deep lakes and golden beaches.<br />

Here, too, are the fascinating pastoralist<br />

cultures of the Maasai and Samburu. This<br />

is the birthplace of safari, and the country’s<br />

23 national parks offer exceptional wildlife<br />

viewing. To the north lies biodiversity haven<br />

Uganda, home to chimpanzees, some 1,000<br />

species of bird and over half of the world’s<br />

mountain gorilla population.<br />

Ngorongoro Crater<br />

The national parks of Tarangire, Lake Manyara,<br />

Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti form the<br />

Northern Safari Circuit, one of Africa’s most<br />

impressive wildlife areas. Tarangire particularly<br />

comes to life in the dry season, when its central<br />

river becomes a magnet to large animals,<br />

including elephants. Lake Manyara contains a<br />

beautiful soda lake and an exceptional variety<br />

of wildlife, including elusive tree-climbing<br />

lions. The vast Ngorongoro Crater is home to<br />

one of the world’s greatest concentrations of<br />

wildlife and presents dramatic views from its<br />

vertiginous rim. The Serengeti is known for<br />

its expansive savanna, perennially excellent<br />

wildlife and the great wildebeest migration.<br />

Laikipia is a beautiful region that stretches<br />

from the foothills of Mount Kenya to the<br />

shoreline of Lake Baringo. The area covers a<br />

wide range of landscapes and has become<br />

a sanctuary for elephants, lions, leopards,<br />

buffaloes and a wealth of plains wildlife.<br />

The safari lodges in Laikipia are among the<br />

most opulent in Kenya, and the involvement<br />

of local Samburu and Maasai communities<br />

allows visitors a rare opportunity to meet local<br />

people. The large conservancy of Lewa and<br />

Ol Pejeta is excellent for those interested in<br />

wildlife conservation and learning about the<br />

vital work the communities do to protect their<br />

environment.<br />
