There is no greater adventure than setting sail on one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the world to explore the rich natural seascapes of East Africa – until you land safari there too. By travelling between land and see, you’ll have a chance to experience everything this expansive area has on offer from its historical significance and colonial legacy to its cultural diversity and, of course, it’s unique indigenous wildlife.
The beauty of a land and sea adventure in East Africa is
that you can just as easily go from snorkeling and diving, to bird watching and
hiking in the same day, thanks to the close proximity of famous beaches and
natural, reserved land habitats.
Mozambique
In Mozambique your safari may include the opportunity to
whale watch, particularly between June and December. During these months,
migratory whales and their calves come very close to shore, allowing you to see
them by boat or land. The most common of these majestic creatures are Southern
Wright and Humpback Whales but you may also see baleen whales, which don’t have
teeth but rather a filter system inside their mouths.
However, if you’re not in the mood for an aquatic adventure,
you can enjoy a memorable safari in true African style, from the back of a
ranger vehicle, inland.
Kenya
Part of Africa’s magic is the mythology, ritual and vast
nature of its history, culture and landscape. On safari you’ll get a taste of
this as you learn more about the brave and majestic Masai warriors.
Kenya is also a fantastic starting point for any traveller
as it is home to the Tanzanian Serengeti, where you can witness the annual
wildebeest migration or visit one of numerous reserves, such as Tsavo, Samburu
or Amboseli. This is the perfect destination for family holidays or honeymoons,
all of which are equally well catered for at reputable reserves and
establishments in the area.
Tanzania
Tanzania is one of East-Africa’s most iconic destinations
and one that every traveller should visit within their lifetime. Imagine being able to say that you have seen
the African Serengeti, Tarangire or Lake Manyara up close and in person. For the brave, Kilimanjaro is a must-see and
the perfect challenge for experienced climbers. It’s a five day guided hike,
classed as a safari. However, for those more interested in avoiding physical
exertion and dizzy heights – there is the magic of the low-land safaris. Then,
enjoy the perfect wind-down at the Indian Ocean’s Spice Island – Zanzibar.
These are just some of the many exotic destinations that
could serve as the perfect backdrop to your East-African safari with East
Africa Yacht Charters.
