Who has not wanted to go on safari to Africa? Few achieve it, but when they do, it is one of the most rewarding experiences for a traveler. Reasons are not lacking to embark on it and now that it is possible to travel to Kenya Y Tanzania Without having to quarantine, things are starting to get easier to close this pending subject.

We have done it with Classic Safari Nyota , which in Swahili means “star”, full of impressive landscapes and unforgettable encounters with wildlife throughout its journey through the three jewels of Kenya and Tanzania: Masai Mara, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

The route, traced by Ratpanat, begins with an exciting scenic flight in plane bound for the majestic Masai Mara National Reserve , also known as the “Garden of Mother Earth”. From the Mara, the next destination is the Serengeti National Park , the natural extension of the Maasai Mara National Reserve whose borders are ignored by the approximately one and a half million wildebeest, 250,000 zebras and half a million gazelles each year between July and October. It is the famous Great Migration, one of the most impressive natural spectacles of nature.

The next stop is the Ngorongoro Conservation Area , where before reaching the Garden of Eden you begin to see Masai shepherds with their flocks covered with their colorful shuka or blankets. We visited a boma , a Maasai village that reveals to us in first person its ancestral traditions and way of life, in addition to doing a 4x4 safari inside the Ngorongoro Caldera 600 meters deep and more than 20 kilometers in diameter that contains the largest "permanent" concentration of wildlife in Africa.

LESS TRAVELERS, MORE WILDLIFE

sightings of animals They are better than before because today there are fewer vehicles, allowing you to find the best places to sit and observe the animals in their natural habitat. During a safari You will get up early, but it is one of the best times to see the cats in action hunting and how lions, cheetahs and leopards roam the savannah and in search of their prey. Dawn is when the savannah stretches and when nocturnal animals are still active. At sunset, we look for the Big Five : lions, buffalo, elephants, rhinos and leopards.

In addition to these indisputable protagonists, due to the extensions of these infinite sheets large herds of herbivores , always alert to the entry into action of a cheetah or a pride of lionesses.

When evening came, we sat around the fire in the camp to recount our experiences and we slept in luxury tented camps listening to the sounds of the African night. do it too in natural parks such as the Serengeti National Park, one of the largest wildlife sanctuaries on the planet, or literally hanging over the ring of the Ngorongoro crater. Pakulala Safari Camp offers unique views of the Ngorongoro Crater, living and enjoying a chat and a glass of wine around the fire with the Maasai who guard the camp.

EXCLUSIVENESS. AND SOCIAL DISTANCE

By its very nature, safaris are a type of journey that constantly runs through the fresh air . The location in national parks where nature and the remoteness of the cities as a backdrop make it a perfect trip for a first post-COVID vacation.

The social distancing is met, the traveler can hire a 4x4 exclusively for use throughout the safari and schedule private activities at all times, such as a picnic in the savannah or dine on the terrace of the tent if you don't want to share the dining tent.
