Whether it’s your first safari or a recap of safari experiences, each safari presents unique features with lifelong memories.

You often rise at dawn to savor the pink clouds of tropical sunrise and after a hot cup of tea, grab your camera ready for that best moment in the wilds of Africa. The animals are on move and the wilderness is live with robust activities. The cats are vigilant while the ungulates munch the soft foliage sauced by the morning dew in the vast savannah plains. The bird songs fill the air as the still morning breeze whistle gently through the thickets.

From a distance, a cheetah stalks a young gazelle and suddenly sprints at top speed and after moments of dramatic swerves both gazelle and the cheetah roll and are covered by a thick cloud of white dust beneath the long grass. And when the dust settles, the cheetah emerges with the young gazelle hanging lifelessly on the strong jaws. On the swampy plains, a baby elephant trying to keep up with the herd will make you smile. This they call, ‘an early morning game drive’.

Lake Nakuru National Park

A hearty late breakfast or early lunch awaits you at your lodge or camp followed by an afternoon at leisure as you wait the ideal time for the evening game drive. A hot afternoon in the jungle, the animals rest while the landscape shimmers with a haze of heat.

Zanzibar Beach Holidays

Zanzibar’s coastline offers some of the best beaches in the world, but sand and surf vary depending on what side of the island you’re on. On the east coast, waves break over coral reefs and sand bars offshore, and low tide reveals small pools of starfish, small minnows, and anemones. Up north, ocean swimming is much less susceptible to the tides, and smooth beaches and white sand make for dazzling days in the sun.

Zanzibar Beach Vacation

Portuguese invasion and control of the Swahili Coast in the late 16th century ended the golden age of the archipelago, although the Omani Arabs returned to power less than a century later. The port city of Stone Town dominates the west coast, and although the beaches of Mangapwani, where slave caves are visible at low tide and nearby Bububu are less than half an hour’s drive away, a night or two spent on the east or north cost is well worth the extra hour it takes to drive there. That said, the Chole Island Marine Park just off Stone Town and nearby Prison, Grave, and Snake Islands make a refreshing day-trip and a good break from exploring the winding passageways of the old city.

On the south coast of Zanzibar lies the Menai Bay Conservation Area, a sea turtle protection area for the endangered species that come to breed on the island. Roads to the southeast coast take visitors through the Jozani Forest, home to Zanzibar’s rare Red Colobus monkeys and a number of other primate and small antelope species.Today, many of the winding streets and high town houses of old Stone Town remain unchanged and visitors can walk between the sultan’s palace, the House of Wonders, the Portuguese fort and gardens, the merchants’ houses and the Turkish baths of the old city. Day-long spice tours to working plantations offer visitors the chance to observe the cultivation of cloves, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and other spices that have made the island famous.
