Major Attractions In Africa

The great Wildebeest migration-The migration route is sometimes thought of as a set circuit that is seen across Tanzania’s Serengeti plains in the south and Kenya’s Maasai Mara in the north between June and October each year. Witnessing the Great Migration is beyond a life-changing experience. The herds migrating and a major part can be viewed at river Mara is between Serengeti and Masai Mara. Popular sightings along with Wildebeest here are Zebra and antelope.

The big 5-Lion, Leopard, Rhinoceros Elephant, and Cape buffalo are termed as Big 5 here. They can be found in the bushes of Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks. There are high chances that you can find all the 5 in a single day at either of these parks.

Flamingos-The flamingos might be less hyped when compared to the previously mentioned attractions. However, sighting them in large flocks at Lake Manyara Park, Tanzania, and Lake Nakuru Park, Kenya.

How many days of safari should you plan for?

A tricky question indeed! Fret not since we have our back on you. It can be for 1 day. It can be for 10 days. More number of days means a better experience and a great sighting!

If the plan is to add Masai Mara to your itinerary, 2-3 nights are recommended. In contrast, if the plan is to add Serengeti to your itinerary in Tanzania, a 3–4-night itinerary is recommended.

A 5–the 8-night itinerary is recommended for the migration itinerary. The more days, the better the chances of sighting the migration. However, as stated earlier, migration is a natural phenomenon forecasted based on previous years’ index and hence cannot be guaranteed.

You can also plan for a cross-country safari itinerary. Kenya-Tanzania safari that includes both Masai Mara and Serengeti National park would be the best itinerary if you can take some time for a safari. A 7-12 night safari itinerary would be ideal for this adventure.
