African Safari Destination Tips For Your Next Adventure

October 20th, 2009

Choice is never an issue when considering an African Safari with prospective safari seekers presented with any number of destinations, each offering it’s own unique twist on adventure and education. Let’s face it, an African Safari shouldn’t just be a sight-seeing tour, it should also be an educational experience, one which should leave a lasting impression and a lifetime of memories.

Here’s a shortlist of possible destinations:

South Africa

Despite South Africa’s turbulent past, it offers a combination of both modern and historic destinations and is home to Kruger National Park,one of the world’s first wildlife conservation parks. South African also has a lot to offer in the way of marine biology and when booking a tour, be sure to include these areas as part of your itinerary. Depending on the level of comfort and length, tours can range at a cost of a few hundred dollars up to $10,000.

Tanzania

Tanzania is a wildlife haven and is home to two of the world’s most famous landmarks, Serengeti National Park and Mount Kilimanjaro. However, it’s Tanzania’s lesser known parks that make it an African Safari dream destination. Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire aren’t as famous as the Serengeti but each is a must see when travelling through this fauna and flora rich country.

Kenya

An African Safari in Kenya means getting close and personal with some of the most recognisable wildlife in the world. Home to the famous Masai Mara National Park, lions, elephants, rhinos and a myriad of other species are prevalent and spotted in Masai Mara making it a photo rich environment. Surrounding game reserves such as Samburu and Amboselli frank Kenya’s standing as an African safari haven. Tours come in all shapes and sizes ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.

Botswana

Botswana has too many highlights to mention in this short summary but for those with a bit of an adventurous spirit and a love of dangerous game, then it’s the place to go. Moremi Game reserve in the eastern Okavango Delta is a must visit for lovers of big cats such as lions, cheetahs and leopards. Throw in the Central Kalahari and Chobe National Parks and Botswana enscapulates what Africa, in a traditional sense, is all about. A variety of tours are available, again, ranging from several hundred to several thousand dollars but in all honesty, to get a greater appreciation of Botswana, then an extended stay should seriously be considered.

These are just four African Safari destinations and probably the best known. If you are considering just one visit to this magnificent continent then make it a worthwhile one time wise. Tours don’t just concentrate in one country. For extended stays, consider encompassing at least the quartet of destinations we’ve covered in this article.

Learn About African Masks

October 11th, 2009

African art is all the rage now and masks are a great way to decorate a room in your home with an African motif. They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and vary widely in terms of the amount of money you can spend on them. If all you want is some nice looking African masks to decorate your walls with and aren’t interested in getting into collecting rare or antique masks then you can do this with surprising little cash outlay.

There is a wide variety of styles of African masks and each one tells a different story and also different tribes have their own style of carving that they use when they carve out masks. It will help you to study the subject a little before you start buying African masks so you can familiarize yourself with them a little bit as there are so many to choose from.

If you have very young children that live in your home then you really should show them pictures of them and familiarize them with them somewhat before you go hanging them all over your place, because to a very young child they can be somewhat frightening particularly when it is dark. They come in a wide variety of colors and you might bear this in mind when you are selecting your masks because you can use them to decorate your home in a color coordinated fashion.

You don’t need to travel to Africa to procure African masks because you can locate them easily online as there are a number of sources that have a wide variety for you to select from. If you are going to buy an expensive collectors grade African mask you want to make sure that it is authentic as there are so many African masks on the market now. ç
