This stunning and varied national park is not only huge, it is also very beautiful. It can be found in the north west of Tanzania and encroaches into the south east of Kenya. People come to the Serengeti just to marvel at it’s land, animals and general beauty. Why don’t we have a look at the most famous points of the Serengeti and also some of the not so well-known ones.

The word Serengeti is actually derived from the Maasai language meaning “endless plains”. The Maasai were a very strong and respected people that populated the Serengeti and when Europeans first visited these lands, they left the animals alone in the Serengeti to avoid aggravating the local people. The aptly named Serengeti spans a total area of about 30,000 kilometres squared.

The main event that the Serengeti is famous for is the Circular Migration. Called many other things, this Migration occurs every year from late July through to early October. Many different herbivores numbering at about two million will travel across the Serengeti and over the Mara river catching the rains they need to survive. They continue up into the Masai Mara reserve, a popular destination for Kenya holidays and safaris.

The Serengeti also has its very own active volcano called Ol Doinyo Lengai. This Volcano still erupts spewing up and up massive clouds of ash that solidifies on the ground and prevents plant growth`. Tanzania contains around five hundred and fifty Avifauna, or as most of us know them, bird species.

If you are interested in going on a safari, this is one of the places that should be at the top of your list. And if you arrive in August or September you may even be able to bear witness to one of the wonders of the world, also called the Circular Migration.

So why don’t you leave home and embark on an adventure on Tanzania holidays or Zambia holidays, you won’t be at all disappointed.

Here are a couple of holidays that are almost complete opposites. You’re relaxing beach holiday and your adventurous Safari holiday. What it comes down to is which one really suits you?

This is all down to the person that you are. If you like to relax by the sea and enjoy a couple of margaritas then the beach holiday is best for you. However, if you’re the kind of person that likes the open outdoors surrounded by the wild, then you have to try a Safari holiday. Let’s just skim over some of the good and bad points on these two holidays.

A vacation like this is one of those that you will only have one chance to do, and the fact they cost up to 5000 pounds, maybe more, you will probably only get one chance.

You can go to the seaside and know that everyone is going to enjoy it. You can travel all over the world for a fraction of the cost of a safari holiday and still visit some great places. When you can go and swim in the deep blue ocean with white sands the beach holidays to become quite appealing. The main advantage is that the prices to go to the Caribbean will be cheaper than going to Africa. If all you want is a beach holiday you can even stay at home and just go to the coast.

This is the destination of dreamland, if you want a different and unique holiday then this is for you.  Now that kenya is halving the cost of it’s Visa’s to £25 for an adult, these holidays will be well worth a visit.

Zambia is undisputedly most famous for the Victoria Falls. There are Seven true wonders of the world and the Victoria Falls is one of them,. The Water falls name is actually Smoke that Thunders which is a translation of Mosi-Oa-Tunya. As the water flows over the edge of the waterfall and into the deep gorge below the water is forced back up into the air like a cloud. Zambia holidays have become more and more popular thanks to these waterfalls.

The sheer amazing sight of these falls is not the only reason to visit them. If you arrive in the September or December months, the water levels will be low enough for you to take a swim. Now it might not seem like a brilliant idea, but there is a natural pool that is perfectly safe to swim in when the waters are low. The Natural pool over looks the gorge that the waterfall plummets into and is called the Devils Armchair.

There is also a Victoria Falls National Park. This Park is opened to visitors throughout the year and offers tourists a look into the Safari Life. Although not a massive size this National park does sustain a wide range of animals and vegetation. Also you can walk this National Park, with a guide obviously. Instead of having to drive around in the jeep or bus, you get to be at one with nature and the wildlife. Kenya holidays and Tanzania holidays have become a lot more popular recently as well, this is due to the fantastic Safari’s that they offer.

So if you want to go and see some of the most amazing sights in the world, you should consider going to Africa and make your next holiday something different.
