Wildlife viewing
The Afrikan Wildlife Safaris adventures specialize in viewing wildlife, every effort is made to plan Safaris where wildlife is known to exist. However, the animals we visit live wild and free, and we cannot fully predict or control their migratory patterns. In an attempt to locate wildlife, which may have deviated from its normal pattern, for the interest of traveler expectations, we book for experiential in countries where it exists. You are escorted by the ranger to locate the big cat and other wildlife. Where the experiential don’t exist, we do normal game viewing. It is very important for our guests to have realistic expectations for their wildlife encounters on our trips, so we try to portray accurate accounts of our wildlife viewing activities in our itineraries.

Being part of the team that observe the way Chimps nest, feed, climb trees, react to human presence, caring for the young ones is unforgettable experience. This activity starts very early at 6:30am to 9:00am.
Hot Air Balloon Experience
A hot air balloon consists of a bag called the envelope that is capable of containing heated air, suspended beneath a wicker basket which carries passengers and (usually) a source of heat, in most cases an open flame. The heated air inside the envelope makes it buoyant since it has a lower density than the relatively cold air outside the envelope. This can be done during the wildebeest migration in Tanzania and Kenya and over Queen Elizabeth in Uganda for aerial view of wildlife. This is the oldest successful human-carrying flight technology but it cannot fly beyond the atmosphere.
