Manyara Park is a small national park in Tanzania of 325 km2. It differs from other parks by the presence of a lake, Lake Manyara, but also by its forest type vegetation. There are some typical species such as the blue monkeys or several species of birds including the hornbill. We can see elephants, giraffes, many antelopes, buffalos, hippos, different types of monkeys, zebras etc. Lions, leopards and hyenas are present but very difficult to observe due to the vegetation.

A day safari in the Kruger National Park begins early in the morning, when the bush is alive with movement and the light is perfect for spotting wildlife. From your open 4x4, you might see elephants gathering at a waterhole, giraffes moving gracefully across the plains, or lions resting in the shade of acacia trees. As the day unfolds, your guide helps you interpret tracks, bird calls, and subtle signs of the bush that you’d otherwise miss. Around midday, a picnic stop in the wild offers a moment to relax before heading out again in search of new encounters. By the time you return in the late afternoon, the sights and sounds of the African wilderness leave you with memories you won’t soon forget.

A one of a kind experience: safari in Zululand! The province of KwaZulu-Natal is known for its rolling hills, filled with bright green fever trees.

Serengeti means "endless plains". The park covers almost 15 000km2. It is characterized by desert savannah landscapes over several kilometers that seem endless. For this reason, the observation of the cats is particularly suitable. Many lions are present in the park, which guarantees a 100% chance to observe the king of the savannah. Some even got into the habit of climbing trees to take a nap. Leopards and cheetahs are also regularly seen. The luckiest ones will witness the scenes of a shrine.

Although the cats are the stars of the Serengeti, other animals such as jackals, hyenas, ostriches, hundreds of gazelles of various types, families of elephants and many hippos are also seen. The ponds are filled with hippos and crocodiles.
