eastern africa: Kenya & Tanzania

Wanderlust Approved ITINERARY

Inspired by a bucket-list safari that my husband and I have planned for September 2020 (and quite possibly may have to postpone....), today we travel to Kenya and Tanzania to visit some of the area's biggest safari draws.  We'll make stops in Maasai Mara, the Serengeti, Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli, and many more in our virtual safari across this part of Eastern Africa.  And, like my husband and I are supposed to do, we'll end our safari on the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar.
