Suggested Destinations For African Safari Tours For Couples

Uganda

Uganda is considered the Primates Capital of the world and arguably the best place for tourists to trek with the last remaining Mountain Gorillas in the world right in their natural habitat. The Country is also home to the powerful Murchison falls, the Big Five animals and Mt. Rwenzori. Top Uganda Safari Activities are extremely engaging and adventurous and they include Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi forest National Park and Mgahinga National park, Chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest National Park, white water rafting Adventure at the source of the Nile, game drives in major National Parks of Queen Elizabeth National Park, Murchison Falls National Park, Lake Mburo National park and Kidepo National park. Other Uganda Safari activities and attractions include Mountain Rwenzori and Elgon Climbing, Cultural Experiences, Birding, Volunteering and staycations on Ssese Islands in Kalangala on the shores of Lake Victoria.

Rwanda

Rwanda is home to over 1000 mountain Gorillas left in the entire world and Rwanda is blessed to be among the few countries where some of the remaining gorillas can be found. The country boasts of 11 habituated gorilla families all of which are found in Volcanoes National Park. Top Rwanda Safari Activities and attractions include Gorilla Trekking in Volcanoes National Park, Chimpanzee Tracking in Nyungwe Forest National Park , Birding, Big Five Animals viewing safari in Akagera National Park, Kigali City Tour to the Genocide memorial sites, Mountain Biking and Kayaking on lake Kivu among others.

Tanzania

Tanzania is one of the best world’s wildlife safari destination with enormous wilderness in its national parks that can easily be located in their respective circuits. The parks are identified based on three circuits that is the Northern circuit, southern circuit and the western circuit. In total Tanzania boasts of 17 national parks that occupy about a third of the total area within her geographical territories.

The most known and famous safari destination in Tanzania is Serengeti national park due to the annual Wildebeest great migration. A combined Tanzania safari to Serengeti national park and Ngorongoro conservation area specifically the Ngorongoro crater makes the perfect adventurous wildlife tour for a tourist as it comes with high chances of spotting the big five in their natural habitat. Lake Manyara is also attractive with a number of animals which such as elephants, flamingos, buffaloes, zebras and lions among others and finally Tarangire national park is a wonder not forget. Tarangire is famous for its diverse landscape with nine different vegetation zones and is particularly known for the abundance of Ancient Baobab trees (the largest trees in the continent) which fill the landscape and dwarf the animals next to them. The river of the park is full of wildlife ranging from a large variety of birds to lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes and, of course, elephants. Though it’s off the main safari route, Tarangire is a surprise package which is often overshadowed by the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater.

Tourists can go on a Tanzania safari/Visit Tanzania any time of the year as the destination is always attractive though the best time to go on a Tanzania safari or the best time to visit Tanzania depends on one’s interest. Between January and March which is the time for calving, Serengeti national park attracts predators such as lions, leopards among others in search of food hence this season becoming one of the best times to spot predators in the Serengeti national park.

Between June and July is the best time to witness the great wildebeest migration in large numbers in the Serengeti. However wildebeest migration can also be witnessed but not in large numbers in August till early November.

In January large numbers of migratory birds are arriving especially in Ngorongoro and Lake manyara and is the best time for birders to visit Tanzania as it increases chances of seeing variety of bird species. Tanzania Birding is also possible in November and May.

For Mountain climbers and hikes, the dry season of between and October is very favorable to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt.Meru.

All the above Tanzania safari activities can be done in the various national game parks in mostly Northern circuit parks of Serengeti, Lake manyara, Tarangire and Ngorongoro.

Top Tips To Planning Your First African Safari Tour as a Couple (Where to go, When to go and Cost)

Based on first hand experiences of the African Safari tour for couples in Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania, below is our advice and top tips to make sure that your first safari in East Africa is a Vacation of a lifetime.

Choose where to go on Safari in Africa

When planning an African Safari Tour as a Couple, the first question you should ask yourself is where should I go on safari?

To answer this question, we recommend that you Start with having a specific goal for your safari by coming up with what exactly you want to see or do on your African Safari Vacation. Maybe you’ve dreamt of seeing gorillas since you were a child, or witnessing great migration in Serengeti or Masai Mara or seeing all the Big 5 in the wild. When you know precisely the goal of your African Safari, it will be easy for you to determine your ideal African Safari destination and then contact your travel planner to design your travel plan. Ask us at Engabi Tour and Travel to guide on where is the best place to see the animals or attractions you most want to see?

Know When You Want to Go

At Engabi Tours and Travel, we recommend that you come up with precise dates of the year you intend to go on your African Safari tour and the number of days you want to stay on safari in Africa as you start planning your African Safari Itinerary. This is because knowing when to go largely influences your trip budget as accommodation prices differ in different Months especially in Tanzania, what you will see and experience on your trip and it also determines how soon in advance you can book your trip especially for seasonal events like the great migration.

Travelers should note that timing is everything for an African Safari as most of the continent’s bucket list safari experiences depend entirely on naturally occurring factors like seasonal rainfall. This means that having preferred travel dates will make a big difference to your itinerary. For example, you don’t want to be in the Serengeti when the millions of wildebeest are already mowing down fresh grass in the Masai Mara!

Have a Budget Estimate

After knowing when you want to go and your ideal destination, its now time for you to come up with a budget estimate or to determine how much money you want to spend on your tour. Your vacation budget will depend on the number of people you are traveling with, your preferred travel style in terms of accommodation(Budget, mid-luxury or luxury), Transport means(Private, Shared or public means) and the activities or attractions you want to see. for example a gorilla viewing permit in Uganda costs $800 Per person. At Engabi Tours and Travel, we advise our clients to disclose to us their budget idea at the earliest opportunity as this will hugely expedite the planning process and they will arrive at their ideal itinerary sooner. knowing what budget we can work with has a massive impact on the planning of the trip and knowing what is and is not feasible.
