Whenever people think about safaris, Kenya is one of the main destinations that spring to mind. Home to the original safari adventures, Kenya is not only home to some of the most spectacular wildlife, but also to pristine beaches and clear tropical waters. Many of Africa’s best known national parks are located in Kenya, and offer the most memorable safari excursions ever.

The Great Wildebeest migration is one of the star attractions in Kenyan safaris, and an experience not to be missed. The Masai Mara reserve is renowned for this mass migration, and visitors can enjoy the thousands of wildebeest that roam the plains. This reserve has been a stopover for the animals for thousands of years, and a place for them to replenish and relax in the midst of their journey. The site of thousands of wildebeests grazing and walking is a site to behold and not one to be forgotten. The wildebeest are seen on their migration for approximately three months typically between August and October, and special trips can be organised to witness this mass exodus.

The Masai Mara is one of the most popular reserves in Kenya, as well as in the whole of Africa. With a manageable size, game viewing is easily accessible. Throughout the year, hundreds of different animals can be found sleeping, relaxing, grazing and swimming in the park. Zebras, Elands, and gazelles often join in the migration, although they can be seen throughout the year. Even if you miss the months of the migration, there are always plenty of things to see including the amazing lions and leopards. If it is a safari you are after, then Kenya is not a place to overlook, offering some of the best adventures in the world.

There are only approximately 650 gorillas left in the world, so the chance of going on a gorilla safari and seeing them in their natural habitat is a unique and thrilling experience. Uganda is home to almost half of the remaining gorillas in the world, and the Bwindi National Park and the Mgahinga National Park offer people the opportunity to look at these incredible creatures.

Uganda is located in the east of Africa; landlocked by Kenya, Congo, Sudan, Rwanda, and Tanzania. The country is home to several large lakes and lies on the East African plateau. The Bwindi Impenetrable National Park lies in south-western Uganda, and is compromised of jungle forests which are only accessible by foot. Over 300 of the endangered gorillas live in this forest, and have made there homes in this remote jungle. With these beautiful animals under constant threat from poachers and loggers, the chance to still experience them in their own habitat is unique.

The national park is one of the richest ecosystems in Africa, so not only do the gorillas live there, but also hundreds of other mammal species, birds, reptiles and plants. The park is a sanctuary for chimpanzees, colobus monkeys and over 346 species of birds. The forests are humming with activity and are a site to behold in themselves.
