What to Expect: Camping in the Serengeti The mere mention of Africa conjures up visions of an inaccessible paradise that puts on the greatest wildlife show on the planet. From lions to zebras, buffalo to elephants, the number of large animals which coexist in close proximity to one another is staggering, so it’s no surprise Africa’s main draw card for tourists is the safari. Whilst these can be done independently, for the independent traveller looking to experience more than just wildlife and traverse through other parts of East Africa, a tour is a far more suitable option, as the continent really isn’t set up for this type of travel.

Safari

National Parks are the name of the game when on an East African adventure, so here are three to wet your appetite:

South Luangwa National Park in Zambia is known for its high concentration of leopards and hippos where you can stay on the banks of the Luangwa river.You might even spot a crocodile from your balcony.

The Mikumi National Park in Tanzania is home to lion, zebra, wildebeest, impala, buffalo and elephant – a variety of wildlife spectacles to get your teeth into. You could be casually gazing at grazing elephant and wildebeest or you may encounter an exciting chase where a pride of lions hunt down a lone impala lost from the herd.

Witness one of the greatest animal migrations in the world

The Serengeti National Park, along with the Ngorongoro Crater, in Tanzania, is an area with one of the most densely inhabited large animal populations in Africa. It’s here where thousands of wildebeest make their annual crossing of the plains, one of the greatest animal migrations in the world. Mount Kilimanjaro is an incredible backdrop to the safari so make sure your camera is at the ready! The Serengeti is a fantastic highlight of any East African safari.
