The continent of Africa is three times the size of the United States. The U.S. would not even reach border to border on the upper half of the land mass. If you are visiting Kenya, Tanzania, Victoria Falls and South Africa, you are reaching areas that would cover a distance from the United States to the tip of South America.

While Kenya and Tanzania are not that large – it does take time to go from one area to another with many times not much difference in terrain. We urge you to pick your travel destinations wisely. Spend more time in one area, seeing what there is to see. Don’t rush to another destination, if there is nothing much to gain. We believe in a quality experience rather then a quantity of places.

If you are going on safari, you need to consider the time of year you want to travel, your budget and is interacting with local people important.
