Are national reserves of kenya and Tanzania very similar?
I had a wonderful trip in Kenya this summer. I had been to most
national reserves, Masai Mara, Sambura, Lake nakura, Amboseli and Aberdare. I am planning to go to Tanzania next summer. But I wonder whether I repeat the same trip. Are the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater Area very similar to those places I have been to? Any differences? Also, I want to see wildebeest crossing the river. Can I see it in Tanzania in late July? |

Are the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater Area very similar to those places I have been to? Any differences? There are certainly similarities between the Mara and the Serengeti (basically the same ecosystem); the Crater is unlike anything else in terms of the actual crater wall but the animals are the same (but it can be crowded). In my experience, if you like Kenya, you'll like Tanzania and vice vera. If you liked the 'safari experience' but want something different from the 'plains', then you might consider Botswana or Zambia. Also, I want to see wildebeest crossing the river. Can I see it in Tanzania in late July? Possibly! -- Rita Daggett |

As Rita said, Ngorongoro is well worth a visit. I also enjoyed Lake Manyara and Tarangire. For something completely different in Tanzania, try Selous/Ruaha/Sandani/Mikumi (I've only actually visited Selous.) Also, I want to see wildebeest crossing the river. Can I see it in Tanzania in late July? Can't say: we didn't in early July. If you want some totally different safari experiences, have you considered e.g. Ruma in Kenya (we were the only vehicle in the whole reserve when we visited), Kakamega Forest (rainforest) or Arabuko Sokoke (Cloud Forest) You can read about some of my experiences on my (totally non-commercial) website. The safari index page is at http://www.v-liz.com/safari/index2.htm - this is broken down into hints and tips, locations, bird and mammal lists etc. Slainte Liz Liz, Good to see you back on this NG! I thought we were going to Kenya on holiday last month but my other half couldn`t take the time off. Best wishes, Pat -- Pat Anderson |
