African safari holidays recommendations right now? Africa is a fabulous place if you are searching for raw nature feeling. Tanzania and Zanzibar, It’s hard to believe that one country can offer such spectacular bush and beach. This is one of our firm favourite shorter itineraries, with the last part spent relaxing on the beach. Fly into Arusha before heading to stay overnight at Lake Manyara, where your introduction to Africa will hopefully include tree-climbing lions, elephant, giraffe, and a plethora of birdlife. Then it’s off to the world-renowned Serengeti, with its vast, game-rich plains. The Ngorongoro Crater, an ancient volcano, that is basically a natural ‘bowl’ filled with wildlife, has to be seen to be believed. After getting our fill of the incredible bush and fantastic animals, it’s back to Arusha, and a quick flight to the island of Zanzibar.
How to communicate with the locals: If you worry that you will not get along with the locals, you must know that they are all former European colonies. In Tanzania and Kenya, English is the official language. In Madagascar, French is the official language, and in Cape Verde, Portuguese. This does not mean that you cannot understand English with the latter. In the tourist areas you will find speakers of Italian, French and German. Health Risks: There are many legends and myths about this topic. You have to keep in mind that all travelers should have the usual vaccines (as a child), as well as a vaccine against hepatitis A and typhoid. There is a risk of malaria in some areas and prophylactic medication (eg Malarone) is recommended. In Kenya there is also a risk of yellow fever, so you must have a yellow card to prove that you are vaccinated against this malaria. See more info at Tanzania Safaris. Preparing for a vacation in Kenya: When to visit the beautiful African country: Being a neighbor to Tanzania, the climate is identical. It is best to visit Kenya during June-September or January-February, during their dry seasons. How to get to Kenya: Kenya has two international airports, served by many major airlines (such as KLM, Air France, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines etc.) – Mombassa (on the coast) and Nairobi (the capital). Mombassa is a better option, as there are numerous charter flights from Western Europe. As expected, we do not have direct flights, but there are many variants from Milan, Rome, Istanbul and London (and until then you get a low cost flight).
