African safari holidays recommendations in 2021

Awesome African safari holidays with DumaSafaris? Africa is a fascinating destination if you are searching for raw wildlife feeling. The Kruger Park covers almost two million hectares of protected bush, and is home to almost 150 species of mammals, nearly 120 different reptiles and over 500 bird species. It’s wild, wonderful, and easily accessible from Johannesburg. Spend a couple of days exploring Kruger’s vast array of habitats and wonderful wildlife, before setting off into Zimbabwe, where you can marvel at the intricate, ancient, Zimbabwe Ruins and the scenic Matobo National Park, with its impressive boulders. At Hwange National Park, you’re sure to see elephant by the dozen and, if you’re lucky, the rest of the Big Five. Then it’s off to the magnificent, thundering Vic Falls with all of its beauty, and pretty much any adventure activity your heart could desire!

Local gastronomy: It will definitely be a unique experience, but do not expect to be prepared. Given the low living standards of African countries, their traditional foods are simplistic, based on meat and vegetables. In Tanzania and Kenya you will find Ugali – a kind of white lobster (made from maize, maize or sorghum) served with fish, meat or vegetables. In Cape Verde, if you are a fan of fish and seafood, be prepared for good experiences: it is only in the middle of the Atlantic. In Madagascar you will eat a lot of rice with vegetables and you should not avoid the “rice cake” – their bread based on rice. If you are more conservative, do not worry, because you will find many restaurants with European specificity: many people from the old continent have retired to Tanzania and have opened a restaurant. Read many more information at Tanzania safari tours.

Masai Mara is known for its great sightings of the Wildebeest Migration that keep migrating every year from Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. Best moments are spotted during the months of June to October when wildebeest cross the famous Sand River and Talek rivers It’s very possible to extend your Safari from Masai mara to other destinations like the Lake Nakuru National Park for lesser and greater flamingos, Lake Naivasha to view the crescent island, Aberdares National Park, Amboseli National Park, waking up to the majestic views of Mt. Kilimanjaro, The Samburu National Reserve to spot the special five species of the Kenyan North, or either choose to relax and unwind by the cool waters of the Indian ocean at the Kenyan Coast, Diani, Watamu, Lamu, Kilifi beaches.

Kenya safari tip : Kenya is the country where you must come to discover the richest African wildlife. When you get to Masai Mara National Park, you just have to turn your head and immediately you will encounter an antelope, a giraffe, a zebra. But Kenya has many more national parks that are not the same – each with its own specificity. The coasts of the Indian Ocean have that fine white sand and big, green phosphorescence that every European dreams about, especially when in the old continent it is cold and sad. Along the coast (as in Tanzania), an extremely rich civilization developed from the contact between Arab merchants and locals of color. The historical traces can be found in Mombassa, but especially in Lamu, this traditional small town, isolated for centuries on an island not far from the border with Somalia.
