Best National Parks to visit in East Africa for safaris
One of the most exciting parts of an African safari is visiting the many National Parks in East Africa that protect the wildlife from fauna to flora. You can normally see the exciting ‘Big Five’ in most of the parks, whether you visit Tsavo East or the Serengeti. You can explore an incredible array of terrains, from boggy swamplands to dry plains, lush forests, and mountainous landscapes.
Many people imagine just one view when they visit Africa, but you’ll be stunned at how various ecosystems make up the many National Parks in the area to create and sustain life. With our hand-picked Kenya Safari Holidays, Uganda Safaris, Rwanda Safaris, and Tanzania Safaris, you are guaranteed an amazing experience to make your dream come true.

One of the best reasons to visit National Parks in East Africa is to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration. A year-round event, the Wildebeest start in the Serengeti in Tanzania, where they give birth to their offspring. During the latter half of the year, they make the tiresome trek to the Masai Mara of Kenya, where grasslands offer the promise of better pastures to graze on.
