About this product
Product Information
East Africa is to be the focus of Africa Geographic's third book in the highly successful and acclaimed Safari in Style series. It will combine the aspirational and inspirational elements of enticing travel experiences, wildlife, landscapes, architecture, decor and the individual ambience found at some 30 prime game and country lodges throughout Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. In order to ensure that only unique, intimate destinations are selected, each of the establishments to be included in Safari in Style will be chosen with great care by an editorial committee comprising the authors and Africa Geographic's editors and travel consultants. The book is organised into eight chapters, each of which captures the spirit and sense of place as well as the scenic and wildlife diversity of southern Africa. The first chapter is 'The South, and West to Lake Tanganyika': The southern wildernesses of Tanzania may lack the cache of Serengeti and Ngorongoro to the north, but for many visitors the area embraces some of the most alluring conservation areas of East Africa. Selous National Park is possibly the largest wildlife sanctuary in the world and photographic safaris are offered in the game-rich northern region where Tanzania's largest river, the Rafiji, is joined by its biggest tributaries, the Ruaha and the Kilombero. Ruaha National Park is regarded by Tanzania's safari cognescenti as possibly the country's best-kept secret because the region attracts a fraction of the visitors that teem to the famous areas of the north. Certainly Ruaha is one of the best places for encounters with big predators: large prides of lion and wild dogs which, although relatively abundant, are notoriously difficult to predict other than at denning time because of their wide-ranging nomadic habits. To the west is Rungwa Game Reserve, Lake Rukwa and the gem of Katavi National Park, as well as Mahale Mountains National Park, which lies on the shore of Lake Tanganyika and is best known for its habituated chimp communities. The second chapter is 'Serengeti and the North': Tanzania's famed 'northern safari circuit' embraces by the standards of many, the most famous wildlife areas of the African continent. The vast, and surprisingly cool (because of their elevation), plains of the Serengeti, together with Kenya's Masai Mara, are home to the spectacle of wildebeest on their never ending migration cycle as they follow the rains and good grazing. Here too is Ngorongoro Crater, densely packed with wildlife and probably the best place in East Africa to see black rhino. Not to be overlooked, however, are the national parks of Lake Manyara, noted for its tree-climbing lions and the baobab-strewn landscape of Tarangire which comes into its own during the dry winter months when elephants congregate along the river. The third chapter is 'Arusha, Meru and 'Kili'': Arusha is the 'safari capital' of Tanzania and many visitors en route to wilderness areas will overnight here. Nearby is Arusha National Park, which not only includes Mount Meru, Africa's fifth highest peak, but also boasts spectacular views across the plains to Mount Kilimanjaro. Arusha National Park is a wonderful experience for those seeking relief from the often tourist-heavy environments of Serengeti and Ngorongoro, while the three-day ascent of Meru is thought by aficionados to be a worthy alternative to conquering Kilimanjaro, at half the price too! But if you are determined, Kili beckons, soaring five kilometres above the surrounding plains. The fourth chapter is 'Zanzibar and the Swahili Coast': To experience first-hand the spice-laden air and mystique of Zanzibar is an ideal finale to the dust, drama and wildlife of Tanzania's safari circuit. Here other opportunities beckon: the culture and history of Stone Town, diving in crystal-clear waters, or simply lazing on a palm-fringed beach. Coastal extensions could include a trip to Nungwi on the northern end of the island, or inter-island excursi
