Many people could never really afford to go on Safari holidays, so the Tour Operators have started to bring down prices, and now they have become very competitive. There are now so many places for people to go, it can be difficult to make decisions about where to experience these holidays. Kenya and Tanzania, these are the two of the most famous places to go on Safari. Although Tanzania and Kenya are famous for there safari locations, the more specific locations for these great safaris are the Masai Mara in Kenya west of Nairobi and the Serengeti in Tanzania.

In Kenya the Masai Mara is known to the world to be the finest national park in Africa. If you like Big Cats, then this is probably the best location in the world to see them in the wild, the Lions that is. If you want to try one of the best Safari’s available i recommend the Big Cat Safari, and anyone who has been on it will too. The chance to see Lions, Cheetahs and Leopards in their own environment is something that everyone can enjoy. This “Circular Migration” is an event that happens every single year. If tourists can time their Kenya holidays just right, then they can get the chance to see almost 2 million herbivores travel through the Masai Mara and into the Serengeti. This Safari is probably one of the most exhilarating, and provides tourists with many unforgettable experiences and plenty of photo opportunities.

The Serengeti is much larger than the Masai Mara National Park, but is not as well known as the Masai Mara for its safari holidays. The Serengeti has many different animals living within it’s borders and includes a wide range of plant types as well. The Serengeti is similar to the Masai Mara in the sense that the Circular Migration passes through here, however the Serengeti is much larger. You can also combine these holidays with holidays to other areas as well, Zanzibar or the Mauritius provide great double holidays. Tanzania is home to some truly great animals, the most majestic of all is the elephant, although you can take some nice pictures of this animal, i wouldn’t recommend getting to close!

If you haven’t decided on one of these, personally I recommend Kenya holidays, although Tanzania holidays are great, the Maasai Mara has a lot to offer any tourist. Christmas Holidays are becoming increasingly popular, especially on Safari holidays.
