Many travelers find East Africa alluring because of the wild and timeless flavor of the land. Some of the world's oldest archaeological remains have been discovered here, and wild animals continue to roam freely on the awe-inspiring landscape. Your East African journey starts with two nights in Nairobi, where you may wish to visit the excellent archaeological museum in addition to your city touring. Next, fly to Samburu, where the Ewaso Ngira River provides some relief to the harsh arid landscape. Spend two days exploring this stark land and learning about the Samburu people that live on it. Next, fly to the Maasai Mara National Park, located directly in the path of Great Migration; "the Mara" is an excellent base from which to explore the grasslands and the wildlife that have been on this land since time immemorial. After three nights, travel to Tanzania's Lake Manyara, where brilliant blue water is surrounded by green forested mountains. You will spend two nights at Lake Manyara before traveling to the Ngorongoro Crater, a microcosm of East African scenery and game. While here, make sure to explore the Olduvai Gorge, where scientists believe human life originated and where many Leakey family archaeological discoveries were made. Game drives or walks through the bush are the best ways to experience this land. Conclude your trip with three days on the island of Zanzibar, located off the coast of Tanzania. The "Spice Island" offers a fascinating cultural history, or, for those who prefer some leisure time, plenty of gorgeous beaches and recreational activities.
