Africa is currently one of the fastest growing regions in the world for inbound tourism, with growth of 19% between 2000-2005. Although most mainstream tourism is occurring in North and South Africa, countries in East Africa are experiencing particularly dynamic growth in their travel and tourism industries.
AFRICAExperts offers several tempting vacations to East Africa, including their highly popular 14-day “Classic East Africa“. This extensive tour is priced from $4348 (land only) and includes accommodation in superior lodges and camps, most meals, all transport and game drives, transfers, guided walks, and the services of a professional driver/guide throughout.
East Africa is rich in diversity, travellers will see everything from snow-clad mountains and glaciers to arid deserts, from dry savannahs to lush lakes and dense forests. Kenya is home to Mount Kenya, Lake Victoria, the largest of Africa’s lakes and the legendary source of the Nile, the famous Maasai Mara Reserve, and the Serengeti.
Crossing into Tanzania, visitors are exposed to the Serengeti’s boundless plains dotted with herds of game – wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, lion and cheetah. 4-wheel drive vehicles travel into the Ngorongoro Crater to see a spectacular array of wildlife including the “Big 5″.
The perfect conclusion to an East Africa vacation is a 4-day visit to the fascinating island of Zanzibar from $415. Zanzibar’s history is fascinating, and it is also home to Stone Town, a world heritage site, which seems to have stepped out of the Arabian Nights.
