TRAVEL TO AFRICA!

Part of the mystic of Africa lies in the "Dark Continent" that we have always thought of as Africa - Kruger National Park is one of the leading places to see Lions, Hippos and Elephants. We have a vacation chalet Africa Style rental just outside of Kruger where you can swim in the pool, eat dinners either cooked by yourself, or we can arrange for maid/chef service. You can view Africa from the verandah and hear the evening sounds. By day you can trek into Kruger National Park with guides arranged prior to your arrival. You must have passes to get into the Park.

There is Cape Town, where you have the luxury of bathing outside under the moon and stars at night and sleeping in luxurious rooms at night. During the day you can walk the grounds, read or take a tour. Cape Town is a jumping off area for other parts of Africa to see.

For wedding groups, family gatherings or groups of friends, there are luxurious rentals available in Seychelles or Praslin and others as well.

Jambo! Warm greetings from Kenya, home to Africa’s Wildlife Safaris.

Every year from early July to late September, over a million wildebeests and Zebras followed by the big cats cross over the rolling plains of the Masai Mara setting a most spectacular marvel of mother nature not witnessed in any other part of the world.

This undoubtedly is the best time to visit Africa. Our Safari will show you this, and more, as we visit the premier parks and game reserves of Kenya. First, we will head north to the lush forest of the Aberdare mountain range, where we will spend time observing the many forest species that come to the waterhole.

From the Aberdare, we will head north to the famous Samburu / Buffalo Springs game reserves. Here we will experience the beautiful dry northern country, which is home to wildlife only seen north of the equator: namely grevy's zebra, beisa oryx and reticulated giraffe. Other residents are gerenuk gazelle, the Somali ostrich, 'big five', and the more common savannah game.

From Samburu, our journey now heads back south with one night spent at Sweetwaters luxury tented camp situated on the equator and one night Lake Nakuru national park famous for its spectacular bird life.

The last part of our safari takes us to Masai Mara, where the wildebeest migration will be taking place. Literally, millions of wildebeest and zebra move north from the plains of Tanzania's Serengeti savannah during July and August in search of the lush grass. As the vegetation and water holes dry, the herds start the trek north. Following the rain pattern they cross the Tanzania/ Kenya border to the rich Kenyan Masai Mara in search of the 4,000 tons of grass they eat each day. By September and early October they start winding their way back to Tanzania.

The sight of the mass migration is awesome. Many do not survive this trip as they expire from exhaustion and injury or fall prey to hungry crocodile in the struggle to cross the Talek and Mara rivers. As the migration unfolds, the wildebeest, zebra and gazelle are trailed by the predators- lion, leopard, cheetah, and hyena and scavenger birds. It is an event one cannot afford to miss!
