Why visit East Af rica?
The “Big Five”: Kenya is the largest sanctuary of African fauna with more than fifty parks and reserves in a territory populated by an incredible wild fauna. From Amboseli National Park, located at the foot of the majestic "roof of Africa", Kilimanjaro, Masai Marra through the region of Aberdares and Lake Nakuru (Out of Africa, covered with flamingos), all means are good to go to meet the famous “Big Five” (buffalo, rhinoceros, elephant, lion and leopard). Board your family aboard a large SUV driven by an experienced ranger or, if you prefer, follow him on foot, without noise, in the footsteps of large animals. Safari, hiking, beaches ... Tanzania is one of the most beautiful wildlife experiences in Africa, with world-renowned hunting reserves such as Ngorongoro and Serengeti offering more mammals and birds than any other African country, spectacular landscapes enormously exotic with animal and plant species of great biodiversity. The tribes are very colorful, but also very friendly and have managed to preserve many of their rich traditions despite encroaching on modernism and Christianity; the Maasai in the north are particularly warm and welcom- ing. The coast is dotted with beautiful beaches, all the archipelago of Zanzibar a few kilometers off the coast welcomes not only a number of dazzling beaches of the Indian Ocean and excellent scuba diving areas but also places of relaxation and interesting culture, delicious food and really f riendly locals.
The "Pearl of Africa": A country of the Great Lakes, in the depths of Africa, Uganda will reveal all its magic through its grandiose land- scapes made of high plateaus, volcanoes, tropical rain forests and impressive waterfalls; it will captivate you with its huge savannahs populated by wild animals and the many ethnic groups that populate its territory. Far from the mass tourism, this territory with the remark- able variety of landscapes, remained authentic and knew how to preserve its culture. All the charm and magic of Af rica come together in this one country, one of the most beautiful on the African continent. If you too have decided to travel to Uganda, do not forget to visit the mountain gorillas. It is the flagship activity of the destination to do at least once in one’s life as a traveler. A moving encounter with a rare species that will not leave you indifferent. But go see the gorilla it is not improvised, here are some trips to prepare for this unforgettable meeting!
