Answer by Momta Begum
Kenya and Tanzania – Two of Africa’s highest Mountains, the largest concentration of wildlife in the world. If you plan to visit any of the safaris you need to decide the following.
1. Decide which safari you would like to go to . Like Safaris in Kenya or in Tanzania any other one in Africa.
2. Decide on the amount of money you would like to spend which way you would like to travel for example, by road or by air etc.
3.Select a Travel and Tour Agency who could help you.
4. Learn about the experiences visiting the related websites or blogs.

A good place to start is to buy a Lonely Planet guide for East Africa, including Tanzania and Kenya. Buying a good travel guide is always a wise start.
One of the most popular destinations for safari’s is Tanzania’s “northern circuit” which includes Lake Manyara, Tarangire, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater (8th wonder of the natural world). There are also trekking options and opportunities to visit places like Oldonyo Lengai and Lake Natron, famous for its flamingos. Northern circuit safari’s start out of Arusha and Moshi (near Mt. Kilimanjaro).
Your best bet would be to fly into Nairobi and then take a shuttle south to Arusha or to fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport. Flying into Dar es Salaam will only increase your time in both the plane and then on the bus getting to Moshi or Arusha where you will begin your safari.
You’ll also need to do a lot of research on your own comparing safari companies and prices and deciding if you want a camping safari, tented lodges or lodge safari. A popular company with reasonable prices is Zara.
You’ll also need to decide how many days you have, which along with your budget will determine how many parks you can visit and for how long. Make sure to include travel days, both getting to and away from your safari destination; which will probably account for 3 days or so.
Planning a trip to Africa will also require you to get a variety of immunizations, prescriptions for anti-malarials and consideration of purchasing travel insurance (which is actually quite affordable).
Other countries which are popular for safari destinations but can’t quite live up to the friendliness of the Tanzanian people or its geographic and wildlife splendor include Kenya, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa.
Make a plan through by searching the best airline even if they provide whole pkg for tour. similar when i went to russia tour through http://www.bestrussiantour.com they help me alot to get everything.
Dear Travelers,
There are a lot do how ever I give few clue points:
Aim of safaris is wild animals viewing, sight seeing, wilderness habitat, birds and local people adjacent to game parks. Look at the tourist destinations mainly national parks, conservation areas or game reserves with most wild animals. Look which those game parks located and check security and safety of the country you will be visiting. East Africa has most wonderful safari destinations.
Also look the nature of the game parks, some parks are most visited and affected by mass tourism.
So here I suggest to make a choice in which you will have less crowd tourists in the parks of better wildlife viewing opportunity.
Then look at Accommodation, it depends level of comfort and quality you need. There is budget camping safari mainly for backpackers, standard safari lodges, tented camps, luxury tented camps and luxury safari lodges.
Then choose a tour operator and tell your interests.
There are small minor items like local flights or international flights, travel insurance to look at.
