East Africa Travel: Experience the Magic of Kenya and Tanzania

An adventure to the neighboring countries of Kenya and Tanzania guarantees great memories, from the vibrant city under the sun, Nairobi, to the beautiful beaches of the spice Island, Zanzibar. The two countries' fairly similar climate patterns make weaving together the East African Safari a great experience. 

The weather is great in August, making it the best time to visit since game viewing is more thrilling and coincides with one of nature's greatest phenomena: the yearly wildebeest migration from Maasai Mara in Kenya towards Serengeti in Tanzania. Both countries are hotspots for luxury camps and lodges with world-class services. 

Key Historical Events: 

The history of Kenya and Tanzania is intriguing; here are some similar historical highlights for both countries. Hunting and gathering marked the way of life for the indigenous people, who also engaged in agricultural activities and later traded, which was introduced by the Arab traders who established the coastal settlements. 

Kenya and Tanzania were members of the Indian Ocean trade network during the pre-colonial era. They are also members of the East African community and have experienced postcolonial challenges in terms of economy, governance, and national growth, among others. The bordering countries have invested in developing their tourist attractions based on their wildlife conservation and breathtaking beauty. Therefore, when you visit East Africa, you can only relate to the people by learning about their history. 

The East African Safaris: Maasai Mara and Serengeti

The luxury safari continues from Nairobi to Maasai Mara by scheduled transfer from Wilson Airport aboard the low-flying Safari planes, allowing you to enjoy scenic views. You will touch down just in time to enjoy lunch at the luxury camp and later spot the big cats during the afternoon game drive. Early morning is the perfect time to take the hot air balloon to gaze at the animals or have breakfast in the Savanna for picturesque views; in the afternoon, bird watching is great since the Mara ecosystem has recorded over 300 bird species, and you can come across the endangered black rhino. In the evening, after dinner, you could stargaze or sit around a campfire as you listen to the African legends of the galaxy and learn about the Maasai culture and lifestyle. 

The Maasai Mara and Serengeti let you witness the great wildebeest migration. The herd makes its way toward the grassy plains of western Serengeti, but they must cross the crocodile-infested Grumeti River. Between late June and early August, the herd treks north towards Maasai Mara, where they must cross the Mara River for fresh grazing. To get to Serengeti, we have arranged a short scenic drive to the Kenya-Tanzania border, then an onward flight, and later, a transfer to the camp with the help of a guide. The Serengeti National Park is renowned for its large number of lions and its great plains, a backdrop for beautiful sunrise and sundowners. You can seek our services at B.A.G.

East Africa Tips

As you set out on your East African tours, here are some tips to help you navigate effectively and get the best out of your trip. 

• Firstly, finding out about a country's visa requirements is a must. Some offer visas on arrival, while others offer e-visas. You must update your yellow fever vaccination and take necessary precautions about malaria. You can use mosquito repellents or take appropriate medication.
• Pack appropriate clothing for hot weather in the coastal regions and cold in the highlands. East Africa's cultural and religious touch also calls for proper dressing. You will need decent clothing for that. 
• When it comes to language, Kiswahili and English are the national languages and are commonly used. Although small purchases may need the local currency, US dollars are accepted, so you should have some dollars changed. 
• For your transportation within and between the countries, you can use internal flights for your convenience. However, you can use the roads if you are braced for long drives and rough roads. 
• African safaris require early booking, especially during the peak seasons. B.A.G. Travel is the best East Africa travel agency for adventure safari packages. Contact us today for your bookings and logistics.
