I want to choose a safari trip and I have a proposal consisting in visits to: Tsavo, Amboseli National Park, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara. I also have another one, but much more expensive: Tsavo, Amboseli, Lake Manyara, Masai Mara, Serengeti in Tanzania, Ngorongoro. Can somebody advise me if "losing" Serengeti and Ngorongoro is a big lose.......?

I really would consider going to ngorongoro. It might be depending on what time of year you are going because of the migration of the animals. hope it helps martin --- Today is the first day of the rest of your life, enjoy it!

The migration in Kenya Maasai mara is in july, august. If you wish to travel to kenya you can contact me for a quotation, am a travel consultant. rgds --- caroline Reply    Reply with quote    Contact carolkags   ronellevan Joined: Jun 06 Points: 476 Posts: 18 Posted: 2006-11-06 22:32:00    I would say definately do Ngorongoro if you can. It is an incredible place, a whole little ecosystem on its own.

Its easy to get routed into the all too common trails of saaris, amboseli, maasai mara, tsavo, a bit of the coast...e.t.c e.t.c e.t.c I wouldnt recommend that, for one, these places are becoming more populated by humanity than even the wildlife itself. what i would recommend, the jewels that arent explored much. for instance, theres samburu national park, then theres shimba hills reserve, then theres a couple of small but well populated parks to the north eastern of Tanzania.....e.t.c .e.t.c depening on the duration, and budget, you can have an east africa wide trip with the benefit of savouring the wildlife and cultural diversity that this region presents. --- For Africa Travel Forums, visit Maasaicountry.com.
