EAST AFRICAN GAME PARKS & BEACHES

Kenya and Tanzania offer some of the best game experiences in Africa. After time at the Elsamere Estate, former home of Joy Adamson, we head to the Masai Mara with its abundant wildlife including elephant, giraffe, antelope, lion and the elusive leopard. Travelling by 4WD, the game viewing here, and in Tanzania's Ngorongoro Crater, is a real highlight of the trip. The smaller park of Amboseli also offers great wildlife viewing as well, and, on a clear day, superb views of Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak. We head to the spice island of Zanzibar to end our trip. There is time here to discover the vibrant markets, relax on the golden beaches and snorkel in the crystal clear waters.
