Loosely defined and impossibly large, East Africa is an umbrella term that covers an incredible array of different countries, landscapes, cultures, and ecosystems. This diversity means that there is something for everyone, whether you're more interested in a hot air balloon safari over the Serengeti, or an expedition to see the ancient rock-cut churches of Ethiopia.

Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya​

Kenya's Maasai Mara National Reserve has earned itself a reputation as one of Africa's most rewarding safari destinations, and for good reason. Regardless of the time of year, wildlife sightings are both plentiful and diverse. It's possible to see the Big Five in a single day, and during the July-November dry season, the plains are filled with the vast herds of the annual wildebeest migration. In particular, watching the herds crossing the Mara River in their thousands is a spectacle few will ever forget. Cultural visits to traditional Maasai villages are another highlight of this spectacular East African reserve.

Omo River Region, Ethiopia​

Part of Africa's incredible Great Rift Valley, the Omo River Region is perhaps one of the most remote destinations in East Africa. However, those that are willing to make the long and difficult trip to get there will be rewarded with incredible scenery, and the chance to visit villages that have remained unchanged for hundreds of years. There are many different tribes in this part of Ethiopia, and each one has its own traditional dress, culture and ceremonies. In order to get the most out of your Omo River experience, it is advisable to join a tour, some of which combine cultural visits with white-water rafting on the region's famous rapids.

Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda​

Draped in mist and full of lush vegetation, Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park nestles deep within the Virunga Mountains. As Africa's oldest national park, it is one of the best places in the world to encounter the critically endangered mountain gorilla. A subspecies of the wider-ranging eastern gorilla, there are only around 800 of these amazing animals left. To share a moment with them in their natural environment is an intensely moving experience and one that should be at the top of any wildlife lover's bucket list. The park provides a home for several other rare species, including 29 endemic species of bird.

Zanzibar, Tanzania​

Zanzibar is renowned for its fascinating history and its incredible beaches. Located off the coast of Tanzania and surrounded by the azure waters of the Indian Ocean, Zanzibar was once a key stop on the spice route. Here, the island's Arab rulers would trade slaves for spices; and today, Zanzibar's exotic past is evident in its elaborate architecture. Stone Town is one of the island's biggest attractions, boasting ornate houses, narrow alleyways, a Sultan's palace, and many mosques. Zanzibar's white-sand beaches are postcard-perfect, and its reefs are ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving.

Serengeti National Park, Tanzania​

Those in search of the ultimate safari experience should consider combining a trip to the Maasai Mara with a visit to Serengeti National Park in neighboring Tanzania. Here, breathtaking open plains are dotted with acacia trees and grazing game. It's a great place to spot predators like lion and cheetah in action; especially during the January-March rainy season. At this time, wildebeest descend upon the southern Serengeti to give birth, and the newborn calves make easy prey for hungry cats. In April, the herds start their migration to the Maasai Mara, but the game-viewing remains exceptional all year round.

Watamu, Kenya​

Unlike many of Kenya's other beach towns, Watamu is still considered an enclave of peace and quiet. Located slap bang in the middle of Kenya's exquisite coastline, Watamu is small, relaxed and full of history. It is best known for its stunning bays and palm-fringed beaches, and for its prolific coral reefs. Deep-sea fishing is a favorite pastime here, and several dive schools offer the chance to take up scuba diving. On land, beachfront restaurants serve fresh seafood, Mida Creek boasts stunning birdlife, and Gedi Ruins offers an insight into the life of the 13th Century Swahili people.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania​

Tanzania's Ngorongoro Conservation Area is dominated by the ancient Ngorongoro Crater. Approximately 1,970 feet/ 600 meters deep, the crater is the world's largest intact caldera, and one of East Africa's most incredible natural spectacles. Within its rim, countless animals range across the grassy plains of the crater floor, including a significant population of critically endangered black rhino and some of the largest remaining tusker elephants. Black-maned lions are another impressive sight, as are the flocks of flamingo that appear on the crater's soda lake during the breeding season.

Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania​

Perhaps one of the continent's most iconic sights, Mount Kilimanjaro stands in perfect isolation against the foreground of the African savannah. At 19,340 feet/5,895 meters, it is the tallest peak in Africa and the world's highest free-standing mountain. Those with a reasonable level of fitness and a keen sense of adventure should consider making the climb for the ultimate Kilimanjaro experience. Climbing with a guide is compulsory, and allowing a few extra days to acclimatize to the altitude is advised. Depending on your route, the climb takes five to nine days. If you're short on time, consider climbing nearby Mount Meru instead.

Lalibela, Ethiopia​

Located in the heart of Ethiopia's northern highlands, Lalibela is a historic town of great religious importance for the country's Orthodox Christians. In the 12th Century, it was designed as a 'New Jerusalem'; an alternative for pilgrims who were prevented from traveling to the Holy Land by conflict. Today, its magnificent rock-hewn churches attract visitors from all over the world. There are 11 of these monolithic churches, each one carved from the rock face. One of them, Biete Medhani Alem, is believed to be the largest monolithic church in the world, and all of them are a testament to the devotion of their creators.

Lake Nakuru National Park, Kenya​

The highlight of this Rift Valley park is the eponymous Lake Nakuru, a soda lake famous for its incredible flamingo population. The density of the flamingo flock depends on the time of year. During the dry season, water levels fall and the lake becomes more alkaline, generating more algae for the birds to feed on. At this time, numbers of lesser and greater flamingo can swell to as many as two million birds, creating a rose-hued haze across the lake's surface. The park itself is home to a host of other animals, including lions, rhino and approximately 450 species of bird.

Tafuta cha kufanya na uache kupotosha! Lile swala liliisha na nishalisahau unless ilikuuma kuku-expose na ukaweka kinyongo! polee! Ukweli hubaki ukweli, kama unaringishia Dar then ringishia kwa fairplay na si kwa "Fallacy", kiufupi huwezi ukachukua Mlima Kilimanjaro ukadai upo Dar! Ni hilo tu...! Kumbuka wewe ni mmojawapo wa waliokuwa wakimcheka Teargas na picha yake ya minoti ya kuokoteza! yaani hata saahii ukidanganya nakufyatua tu and don't take it personal, yani unachukua hoteli za Zanzibar na Bagamoyo na kudai ziko Dar that can't be accepted, "SORRY", Mkenya akidai Mlima Kilimanjaro upo Kenya unapiga kelele humu mwezi mzima! 😉 🙏

Mimi nilikuwa nakukumbusha wewe kuhusu kuweka vitu tofauti na thread. Wewe siku ile ulikuwa mkali kweli.

Nilijaribu kukusihi kwamba mbona watu wanaweka vitu tofauti humu. Uliahupaza shingo. Mimi niliweka picha hii:-
Lazy Lagoon, which is part of battle. Ulinichamba nikasema isiwe taabu. Nashangaa wewe umeng'ang'ana na kuweka issue ya chanjo.

Thos patches left are still under construction I believe by now they supposed to be done as you can see the area was bad but devolution has changed the area drastically.... earlier governments always neglected the areas believing the areas had no economic value but now I think everyone believes diffrently hata wao hawaamini they been given roads and several tourists sites have started to be visited more ever since example is the chalby dessert, and the first boy

 

[Opportunity Cost]

najua chartered flights sio? Hizo hapo juu ni scheduled flights kutoka Europe! Hapo za middle east na rest of Africa sijazitaja!

Kuna hii pia

Zanzibar ni kwa moto kwa utalii hatari,by 2025 inaweza kuwa na abiria sawa na JKIA

 

[Opportunity Cost]

Wasi wasi wangu ni akina Manji (sijui prince) kumilikishwa.

Sasa kama imekuwapo hapo over years haijaboreshwa kwa nini wasimilikiwhwe private sector ilete pesa kuliko saizi ni mavi kila sehemu na kila kima anaenda akijiskia na hakuna cha maana govt inapata

 

[Opportunity Cost]

ila Thailand baba si rahisi! Kama unajua utalii wa Thailand vizuri ngoja janga la UVIKO19 liishe! Wale wako so advanced in tourism hamna comparison duniani! Tunachoweza kufanya ni kushirikiana nao! Ukiacha beach tourism, cuisine na exotic places, kumbuka wateja wao kwa kiasi kikubwa ni midume (vizee na vijana) na hao Wazungu wanaenda kwa sex tourism pia! Na kule wana-offer superior service! Superior thai massage parlour , thai foods restaurants and eateries zipo kebekebe kule hata ulaya 🤣 🤣

Thailand has finally put the Phuket Sandbox into play, but hopes and reality seem to continue to be at odds.

Kwani utalii wa usenge huko Zenj hauwezi kuanzishwa? 😝😝😂😂🏃🏃

 

[Opportunity Cost]

C19 imefanya warusi,waukraine na wapoland wajue kama zanzibar kuna blue safari na ni safe pia,na hao wengi wao ndio soko kuu kwa utalii wa thailand na some asian countries,vivutio vyao avipishani sana na vya kwetu sema sie atujitangazi na vile vile kama ushafika east europe wanaongelea negative tu kuhusu africa hasa hasa usalama,jamaa walipoanza kuja wakakuta kila kitu tofauti na walivyoaminishwa,serikali ikijipanga mafia island kina sifa zote za kitalii (blue safari)sema ndio hivyo tunakichukulia poa

Kwanza Kigamboni,mafia,Lindi,Pangani na Bagamoyo zingejengwa kuwa miji mizuri na maalum kwa Utalii wa beaches na nk lakini ndio hivyo tena kila mtu na dream house yake.Hii nchi ni watu short sighted Sana
