Africa, the birthplace of mankind in the Serengeti region's Olduvai Gorge some 2 million years ago, is now home to the largest diversity of life on Planet Earth and possibly the last chance for mankind to view such a diversity in its natural habitat. Despite the efforts of several governments straddling the Serengeti, and its recent declaration as a World Heritage site, each year poachers in the Serengeti National Park bag about 40,000 wildebeest, zebras, buffalo, giraffe and impala. The gorilla and chippanzee suffered as a result of the demand for bush meat, the elephant pays the penalty for its ivory tusks, and the rhino is in dramatic decline due to the belief from Asians that its horn has medicinal value.
From the Sahara to the Serengeti; from Table Mountain to the Ethiopian Highlands: from the equatorial forests of West Africa to the Great Lakes of Central Africa, the continent offers a unique opportunity for us to view its wildlife on safari. Of Africa's great plains regions, the Serengeti is the most famous. Straddling Kenya and Tanzania, it is the only part of Africa where vast, annual migrations of animals -- wildebeest and zebras still occur - but for how much longer?
Nowhere on earth can claim such a dense profusion of wildlife in such spectacular surroundings. From the legendary wilderness of Tsavo, ASC’s exclusive Kimana game reserve, the majestic peak of Kilimanjaro, the rain forests of Mount Kenya, the stunning savannah of the Masai Mara, Uganda’s Bwindi National Park – home to 50% of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas, Botswana's Okavango Delta the most famous, and certainly the most spectacular, floodplain in the world, and home to the Moremi Game Reserve, the Kruger National Park, an area the size of Belgium and one of the world’s greatest wildlife conservation areas and home to all the Big Five and over 100 different animals and 500 birds, and the Ruwenzori National Park, of Diane Fossey fame and sometimes referred to as the 'Mountains Of The Moon'.
