Why Africa and Saudi Arabia are the best safari destinations

If you're considering embarking on an African safari in Kenya, you'll be excited to hear that world-class safari destinations, including Nairobi National Park, Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and the Tsavo Parks all surround Nairobi, making it the perfect destination. Looking to find grassy plains full of the Big 5? Simply head to Maasai Mara. Meanwhile, if you're a bird lover, you'll adore Lake Nakuru, where you can see the bright pink, elegant flamingos flock in their millions. 

 

Make your way to the Tsavo National Park to experience red earth and scorching sunshine. While the Tsavo West National Park spans mostly across the barren but stunning Tsavo desert, the East Park offers a little more greenery. Head to the Tsavo East for elephant sightings, while if you want to sight rhinos, buffalos and Maasai lions, the West Park offers you just that. 

No matter where you're heading on your safari in Kenya, we can put you in the heart of the action. After all, a stay at Radisson Blu Nairobi Upper Hill places you right next to Nairobi National Park. Alternatively, Radisson Blu Nairobi Arboretum is an ideal location for safari day trips as this safari hotel in Kenya sits on the border of the Nairobi Arboretum Forest Park.

Africa's finest wildlife, game reserves and safari opportunities are right on your doorstep in Lusaka. From lions, cheetahs and giraffes to elephants, zebras, and chimpanzees, you won't have to travel far out of the city to find yourself immersed in nature. For example, just 15 kilometers south of Lusaka, you'll find Munda Wanga Environmental Park. This is an environmental park, education center, wildlife sanctuary and botanical garden, all in one. Rich in flora and fauna, the sanctuary is also home to over 45 animal species, many of which are native to Zambia. Plus, this family-friendly park also has a recreational park including a bar, games and activity areas, a water slide and picnic areas. 

If you're heading to Mozambique, then you simply must visit Maputo Special Reserve (formerly known as Maputo Elephant Reserve). A unique space and one of the few reserves where bushes meet the beach, the landscape here is continually changing. During your trip, expect to encounter a variety of wildlife, from antelopes, zebras and blue wildebeests to giraffes, elephants, hippos, and astonishing birdlife. Plus, Maputo Special Reserve provides the best of both worlds. One day you can go on a safari and experience the wildlife and the next you can swim in the Indian Ocean. If you're considering a trip to Maputo Special Reserve, rest assured that you'll experience jaw-dropping landscapes and up-close encounters. Plus, the reserve is only a convenient three-hour drive from Radisson Blu Hotel, Maputo.
