The Serengeti and the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania
The picturesque Serengeti National Park is located in the Northwest of Tanzania and it shares a border with Kenya’s Masai Mara park. It covers an area of around 30,000 square kilometres and you can witness about two million wildebeest trying to cross the Mara River into Kenya. This mass migration takes place annually; in addition, it is also home to elephants, rhinos, and lions.
The serene and scenic Selous Game Reserve is situated in Southern Tanzania and it is the world’s largest game reserves. Spanning an area of about 54,600 square kilometres, it hosts the world’s most diverse wildlife and untapped natural beauty.
Etosha National Park in Namibia
Situated in North-western Namibia, it is consists of the white-green salt pan which is 130 km in length and 50 km in width. It is home to Indian elephants, lions, black rhinos, and giraffes, and during the summer months, diverse species of birds like flamingos, pelicans, owls, eagles, ostriches, and hornbills. Many animals gather at waterholes and this makes for a colourful safari.

This would be a great place to go- a safari. I’m not sure if I would feel a little scared being around lions and safari animals.. I guess its the fear of the unknown but im sure it would be nice.

I’d love to do it. I have very fond memories of Tanzania as I got engaged whilst climbing mt Kilimanajro. I haven’t been on safari yet
I’d love to do a safari but I think it’s one for when the kids get older and have left home 😉
I’ve been on a mini type of safari when I was younger but would love to do it properly. These all look amazing!x

YES!! We’re planning on going to Namibia in 2017. It’s great that you’ve suggested one place. Thank you
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the unceiappredrated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
