Safari in Tanzania, Kenya, or ??

[nyc2la]

I will be at a wedding in the Seychelles in September. My better half and I are considering a quick (3 day) safari before the wedding. Any advice on a safari in Tanzania, Kenya, or perhaps somewhere else that’s an easy flight to the Seychelles afterwards?

Thanks in advance.

I've done safaris in the Masai Mara (Tanzania-Kenya border) and the Kruger (South Africa). The big five were much easier to spot in the Kruger, especially leopards and rhino. And less driving around to find them (guided of course). So I recommend the Kruger.

We went to the Londolozi private reserve which was amazing. Luxury and adventure. Pricey, but if you're getting married in the Seychelles it sounds like you not afraid of spending money. Google it? Highly recommended


Happy to get more specific if you want.

Oh! And take a day to go Great White Shark cage diving in False Bay!

Thank you! Will look into both.

The trip to the Seychelles is for a friend’s wedding. My wife and I will get to be observers at this one, the easy part!

I've also been to safari in the Kruger Park in South Africa and, at an other occasion, to the Seychelles.
Sounds like a fantastic trip.
Lots of flying and a bit stressful traveling though...
But 100% worth it. Enjoy.

We have been fortunate to have gone on Safari several times. We have experienced Kruger National Park and most recently Kenya, Tanzania and Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda.

I would recommend staying at one lodge since your time is limited to three days on safari. Our go to lodges for safari are https://singita.com/ all of their properties are Fantastic! The service, wine and safari experiences are incredible. I can also recommend https://www.andbeyond.com/africa-destinations/ as well. We stayed at their Ngala Tented Camp and loved it! https://www.andbeyond.com/our-lodges...a-tented-camp/

I'll call you to discuss in more detail and give you some additional information. Make sure you watch some http://channel.nationalgeographic.co...ve-migrations/ The closes thing to a Safari I have seen to date.

I really hope you can pull this trip off on your way to the wedding. Going on Safari is a life altering experience! A few pics...

Sounds like a great destination for a wedding. I'd love to get there some day.

All I know is that my in laws have done several Safaris, Tanzania and Kenia among them. They have loved every one. I think the safaris has been about a week long.

That 5th picture of the Cheetah in the tree with its lunch is incredible. They all are but that one is nature at its finest. Whole trip looks awesome.

I stayed at the Singita Grumeti Reserve. My safari was the first week of December...everything was lush and green.

If your still considering the Kruger, here are some teasers from the Londolozi private reserve. Best thing is the low number on tourists there compared to open parks like Masai Mara etc. Or the main Kruger. Allows you to get amazingly close...

Honestly, it was miles above Tanzania-Kenya.

Going to take a page out of Paul’s book and say ‘take me with you!’.
A safari is high on our travel list.
Take and post pics when you go please!
