Kilimanjaro is visited each year by thousands of tourists.
There are the snow-capped peaks of Mount Rwenzori – the Mountains of the Moon, which provide a tantalizing challenge to dedicated mountaineers, not forgetting the Virunga Volcanoes which also offer highly rewarding hiking opportunities through scintillating highland scenery. Mount Elgon is another perfect hiking destination in Eastern Uganda. Comparatively, travelers really have wonderful time to enjoy the scenic beauty of the Elgon.

WILDLIFE SAFARIS

For the worldwide adventure lovers, Safari is one of the most desired activity. Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Reserve is undoubtedly the Africa’s prime and most popular safari destination and it has always fulfilled its promise of adventure. Most travelers here speak of the wildebeest migration as the most astonishing sight they have ever seen. An annual migration of the wildebeest from Tanzania in July or sometimes in August, and their return from Kenya in October leaves several tourists mesmerized.
Dubbed “The greatest snow on the earth”, the phenomenon involves approximately 2 millions of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle wandering at regular intervals between Tanzania and Kenya. The herd of animals draws towards northwards to the juicy grasses of the Masai Mara in anticipation of rain. This migration is the major moments in wildlife and highlight of East African Safaris and so marvelous to view.
You can also take a drive to the highlands of Aberdares where you will see herds of elephants and rhinos and later a diversion to Samburu National Reserve where you can spot the elusive leopard. Lake Naivasha National Park has a huge population of hippos which make the region truly adventurous. Others wildlife safaris destinations include Tanzania’s Lake Manyara National Park, the Serengeti also home to breathtaking wildlife.
The Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda also offers wonderful view of flamingos. The charm of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park goes much beyond the viewing of endangered mountain Gorillas in their natural habitat. The animals are Uganda’s star attraction; the bulkiest of living primates, and among the most peaceable. Volcano Park remains the best place in Rwanda to adventure.
