Taking a break high atop the rocky outcropping yields a breathtaking view of the vast African plain. Wild and wide-open, thousands of wildebeest and zebra spread out as far as the eye can see. As the crimson sun starts to set, the temperature begins to drop and a new set of sounds permeate the clean, sweet air.
You will never forget your first night in the African bush, and you definitely won't forget your first morning either!
Africa brings your soul to life. It is unlike any other place on earth.
While many large tour operators claim to take you to the heart of Africa, African MANIA takes you to her soul.
Perhaps one of the most unique aspects of an African MANIA safari, is that you must be prepared for anything. Your Land Cruiser may get sprayed by an elephant cooling off in the river, or you can get a lesson in the art of basket weaving from a native villager.
Climb Mount Kilimanjaro, visit a Maasai tribe, enjoy a walking safari. In addition to game viewing safaris, you can choose from mountain trekking, cultural safaris or beach holidays - including seeing Zanzibar and other East African beach resorts. You can even combine them, it's completely up to you.
Whether our guests choose to stay in luxury lodges or try adventure camping, African MANIA offers a full range of adventures. We'll work with you to customize where we go, how we get there and what we do once we've arrived.
While we offer standardized safari packages, our ability to tailor a safari experience to meet your personal time, travel style and financial requirements truly sets African MANIA apart from any other tour company.
With African MANIA, seeing the Big Five - rhino, elephant, buffalo, leopard and lion - up close can be a daily occurrence. This is because many of our drivers/guides have spent much of their lives in the bush, so they know where to find the wildlife and where to avoid the crowds. If you are after "wild Africa", we'll get you there!
The path to the soul of Africa runs through its people. On safari with African MANIA you can choose to mingle with local tribes, get a unique glimpse into their history, culture and lifestyle. For an adventurous twist, you can even choose to accompany tribesmen on their daily hunt.
After a day in the bush, chances are that you would have worked up quite an appetite. Our bush cooks are trained to satisfy a variety of discerning palates, often mixing traditional African fare with international dishes. Imported wines, local beers, sodas and bottled water are always available for quenching your thirst.
