Luxury safaris? Isn’t that a paradox? Once upon a time perhaps, but not anymore. Now it is possible to have all the rugged adventure of a real African safari while still enjoying the luxury of gourmet meals and pillow topped mattresses. That is what luxury safaris to Tanzania and Kenya can offer you.

Tanzania is rapidly becoming a popular vacation destination. The luxury safaris here offer something of interest for anyone. The landscapes are breathtaking and the wildlife you will encounter is incredible both in the sheer numbers of animals to be seen and the huge variety of creatures you will encounter.

You can get a customized itinerary that starts and ends at a time that is convenient for you. Whether you plan on staying a few days or several weeks, there is so much to do that you will never get bored. You may take the safari tours of the many National Parks. Theres Tarangire, notable for its large herd of elephants and unique Baobab Trees, or Arusha, where you can see breathtaking views of volcanic Mount Meru. Or you can safari in the Serengeti which boasts the largest concentration and variety of wildlife in the world. Don’t forget, at the end of every day’s adventures, you get to retire to comfort and gourmet meals.

It may be that you can only take so much of the great outdoors. If this is the case than you may want to finish your holiday on the Island of Zanzibar. Here you can partake of the very active nightlife or spend you days at one of the many beach resorts.

Kenya is also one of the more popular destinations for those seeking adventure. The Kenyans like to say that they originated the idea of a safari vacation. They have perfected it over the years and now offer a complete line of luxury safari holidays. On top of the wildlife and scenery, Kenya also boasts miles of coastline that leads to warm ocean waters great for swimming, snorkeling or other water activities.

Perhaps the biggest attraction is the great wildebeest and zebra migrations. It is an awe inspiring sight to watch millions of animals travel across the Masai Mara, seemingly as a single unit. Timing is everything if you wish to see the migration at its peak. Although the exact times differ from year to year, it is possible to predict the herd’s arrival in a particular spot based on when it left the Serengeti.

If you miss the mass migration, there will still be plenty of other things to see and do. Not only is there a great deal of wildlife to be seen, but you can also climb a mountain, visit one of the many interesting outdoor marketplaces, or just relax and sun bathe at the beach.

It is not at all surprising that luxury safaris are rapidly becoming a very popular holiday destination. They have also become well known as a honeymoon choice. Newlyweds have discovered what many others already know, a luxury safari to Tanzania or Kenya may just be the best vacation trip ever.
