Game Viewing, Great African Trek, Cape Town to Nairobi  
56 DAY GREAT AFRICAN TREK
Cape Town to Nairobi
Africa conjures up images of vast plains in Africa full of animals, unspoilt coastlines mixed with a variety of cultures, tribal and religious… From the shadow of Table Mountain to the bustling capital of Kenya, Nairobi, this 56 day safari promises to put you in the footsteps of many great explorers that travelled and discover the wonders of Africa. From the mighty fish river canyon, only second in the world to the Grand Canyon, to the dunes of the Namib Nauklauft, basking in the sunshine on the banks of Lake Malawi to trying your hand at fishing off the idyllic beaches of Zanzibar. Our search for the big 5 takes us through world renowned game parks, Serengeti, Masai Mara and Etosha National Park to name a few. The grand finale of trekking the mountain gorilla makes for an unforgettable safari splendour. After these 56 days you will truly have felt the heart, soul and beat of Africa.

Sesriem & Sossusvlei
Both lie on the Tsauchab River, one of two large rivers (the other being the Tsondab, further north) which flow westward into the great dune-field of the central Namib, but never reach the ocean.

Both end by forming flat white pans dotted with green trees, surrounded by spectacular dunes

The Wildebeest Migration in East Africa, also known as “The Great Migration” takes place between Kenya's Masai Mara and Tanzania's Serengeti National Park and is one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on the planet. Thousands of wildebeest and zebra’s migrate between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara, constantly driven by their search for fresh grazing. The massive herds are closely followed by predators (lion, hyena and cheetah), making the most of every opportunity to catch their next meal.

The precise timing of the annual wildebeest migration depends on the rains. It is a very unpredictable and spontaneous natural event, with calving season taking place in the Serengeti between January and mid-March. The wildebeest migration starts to head towards the Western Serengeti in May or June.
