Tired of the hustle and bustle of the city life? Longing for a fantastic and unique getaway vacation? Let me give you some tips that you would surely be thankful for. Many of us are busy working 8 hours (sometimes even 10+ hours) a day, 5 days a week.  There comes a point where you may feel really felt burnt out. Everyone deserves to play sometimes right? So searching for vacation packages on the net, I found some pretty common and unexciting travel ideas but found others that seem just marvelous.

If you have been longing for an unforgettable and unique adventure, why not try Africa? So by browsing the Internet for safaris and other African travel packages you will notice that most sites are focused on safaris in Kenya. Being so intrigued to get on an African adventure I looked at many different travel packages.

The first one explored was a 14-day Kenya Travel Explorer package. You will land in Nairobi (Kenya’s Capital), which is quite impressive with the beauty and the exotic nature of the place. The first stop on the trip is in a tree lodge located in Mt. Aberdares, wherein you could overlook the different sizes of waterholes, inhabited by different kinds of exotic animals like giraffes, rhinos, antelopes and warthogs. The next day, you can have the most exhilarating experience of standing at the equator! 

Imagine standing at something you only see on globes in History class! Then you are able to drive to Lake Naruru, where you can see thousands of pink flamingos and other wild animals like lions and hippos. After that you are off to the famous Maasai Mara Game Reserve, where you can see the cheetahs, and other wild animals like hyenas and elephants. But the most exciting thing is when you are able to eat at a carnivore restaurant.  This is where they serve roasted zebra, ostrich and other games available in the park. It truly seems like an adventure and one you wouldn’t dare to forget, and most likely would come back for more.

Although examining just one Kenya Safari, uncovering some of the other Safari destinations that were found online was very exciting. By researching you will find other best Kenya safaris and see that there are 11-Day Kenya Wildlife and Beach Safaris, whose itinerary includes a few days of sun and sand in Mombasa, Kenya’s second largest city, located in the shores of the Indian Ocean. Also, you will find what is called a 12-Day Kenya’s Finest, this package includes flying across the Great Rift Valley, and meeting the proud Maasai warriors, Kenya’s most famous ethnic tribes.

Last but not the least is the 15-Day Kenya and Tanzania Treasures which seems to be one of the biggest safaris of all with the longest itinerary. This includes trips in Serengeti National Park, the most famous wildlife park in Tanzania. This is where you could take on a wild balloon safari, and Lake Manyara National Park in Tanzania. The itinerary also includes tours in Amboseli National Park in Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest peak, and Nairobi National Museum and Snake Park. You may have a hard time deciding since Africa has many places of interest and beauty but you will be sure to experience an adventure of a lifetime on an African Safari.
