Best Game Viewing in East Africa

The Serengeti Park & Ngorongoro Crater are both great for game viewing but may be a bit quiet during this time, when most of the wildlife is further north in the Masai Mara. The wildlife more more...

Focus: Mozambique

Our current focus on our Facebook page is Mozambique, the long thin country opposite Madagascar on Africa's south-east coast on the warm Indian Ocean. The Portuguese was first lured to the palm fringed shores and colonized the country in 1505; and the Gorongosa National Park became internationally famous during the 1960’s for its great game viewing and beautiful more...
