If you are looking for an exciting vacation tour, consider
visiting the savanna areas of Africa to view the African
animals in all of their natural splendor. You have seen
the lions on the plains of Africa, along with the antelope,
giraffes, elephants and zebras, on numerous television
shows. Trips of a lifetime are readily available to the
American tourist to these magnificent areas for wildlife
viewing that is unequalled anywhere else in the world.
Experienced tour guides make certain that their guests
remain safe at all times while viewing wild game up close
from four-wheel drive safari vehicles.

Accommodations in these remote parts of Africa are quite
modern and delightful. Since the temperature is warm the
entire year, the lodgings have an air of freedom about them
that those of us in North America seldom feel. Open air
dining and lounging areas abound. It is not unusual on
these tours to be able to sit on a lovely veranda and,
while sipping afternoon cool beverages, to be able to watch
the nearby classic African animals graze and wander at
will. Depending on the lodge, you may spend the night
sleeping under a classic white netting canopy.

If you are particularly adventuresome, you may want to
consider a classic tenting safari. These elegant events
are carefully planned to give the tourist comfort and
luxury while allowing the tourist the thrill of living
close to the heart of Africa for a few days. Tent camps
may be permanent, where each tent has a wooden or concrete
floor as well as private bathroom with shower. In this
type of tenting adventure, the dining hall is also a
permanent structure. Since these areas are on the
geographic equator, every day is the same length all year
long, with sunrise around 6 a.m. and sunset around 6 p.m.
Breakfast and dinner at the tent camp are formal affairs
in the dining hall while lunch is an informal buffet
served outdoors. Experienced camp staff cater to the
tourist~s every need, so other than living in a tent, a
tent safari is Africa is not as primitive as an American
tourist might expect.

Kenya and Tanzania get a major source of their revenue from
tourism. A number of reputable tour companies operate in
these regions ~ plus other areas of Africa - and partner
with American tour companies to offer a quality experience.
Majority of tour guides speak fluent English, as well as do
the staff at major tour sites and hotels. Most tours begin
with a ~meet and greet~ by the tour guides at the airport.
These same tour guides commonly stay with the tour group
throughout the trip until they return to the departure gate
at the completion of the tour.

Think about taking a tour of the wonders of the African
savanna. These trips are remarkably affordable and average
around $3500 per person without airfare for a 10-day tour.
There is no place like it in the world and you may leave
a piece of your heart there forever like I did.
