East Africa
The essence of Kenya and Tanzania

Kenya and Tanzania possess some of Africas finest landscapes, varied wildlife and beautiful beaches. Together they combine their natural attractions with comfortable lodges and hotels, wellorganised safaris and excursions. With Tanzanias attractive beaches in Zanzibar and a visit to the lively Kenyan city of Nairobi, you can experience the thrill of an African safari combined with the modern culture of the country and the relaxation of a beautiful beach stay. For most visitors Nairobi will be the first place to stay, before proceeding for the safari. The city was developed by 1900, when the Mombasa Uganda Railway was built. Today, Nairobi is a lively cosmopolitan and yet, pleasantly small city with a multi-cultural atmosphere. From the plains of the Masai Mara in Kenya to the peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, East Africas natural vegetation is as diverse as its climate and topography would suggest. Kenya and Tanzanias coasts are lined with pristine white sand beaches fringing the warm inviting waters of the Indian Ocean.

The East Africa coast is a place with a long and exotic history and its calm blue waters the traditional passage of the Arabian spice trade. In the winding mediaeval streets and bustling markets of Zanzibar Stone Town, life has continued unhurried and unchanged for hundreds of years. This blend of natural beauty and living history creates an exotic paradise unlike anywhere else on earth. Sightseeing Kenyas wilderness is famous worldwide. The name Kenya has become synonymous with the great wilds of Africa but they represent far more than you would ever expect, protecting and showcasing a broad range of habitats and species.

and equally large numbers of pink flamingos massing on the shores of the Rift Valley soda lakes are breathtaking sights. Tanzanias famous Serengeti National Park is well-known for its great migration. Over a million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains every October and November and then swirl west and north after the long rains in April, May and June. The ancient instinct to move is so strong that no drought or crocodile infested river can hold them back. Today, the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Masai Mara Game Reserve protect the greatest and most varied collection of terrestrial wildlife on earth, one of the last great migratory systems. Masai Maras open plains are renowned for the Big Five; Amboseli, with snowcapped Kilimanjaro as a magnificent backdrop, is home to huge herds of elephant. The Great Rift Valleys Lake Nakuru offers habitat for tens of thousands of flamingos whilst Lake Naivasha is home of the hippopotamus;
