Kenya and Tanzania together form one of the most iconic safari regions in Africa. With the right planning and expertise and a sense of adventure – this region will stay in your heart for a lifetime. Ecologically it is astonishing, 1.5 million wildebeest, geothermal formations, thousands of endemic plants, volcanic wildlife-rich craters, birding migration corridors and a vast range of activities and comfort levels. I grew up watching documentaries on the great rift valley, the wildebeest migration or the Marsh and River lion prides. There is no substitute for this wildlife spectacle – it truly is one of a kind. It is a fit for all ages, both novices and seasoned professionals. Having knowledge on specific camps and hidden gems is key for both photographers and general visitors. I recommend booking in advance and using a privately guided option to get the best value from this iconic region.
