Africa holds many of the world’s greatest wonders and is a mysterious destination every traveler must visit in their lifetime. A domestic travel operator has launched a 14-day premium tour to Kenya and Victoria Falls, offering exploration of the Great Migration, the East African Rift Valley, hot air balloon safaris (Balloon Safari), helicopter rides over Victoria Falls, and stays at the world’s top 100 “five-star tented camps” — delivering an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Observing the Great Migration in Africa is an absolute must-do activity. While most tours use 4x4 vehicles, this trip uniquely includes a dawn hot air balloon safari (Balloon Safari) to view the magnificent sight of millions of animals galloping across the Masai Mara plains from the sky; an elephant sunrise safari (Elephant Sunrise Safari), where you ride atop an elephant alongside the wildlife, observing animal behavior up close and experiencing intimate interaction between humans and elephants; and a walking safari (Walking Safari), guided by professionals, allowing close encounters with various gentle animals — an exceptionally unique experience and visual spectacle.

One of the world’s three great waterfalls, “Victoria Falls,” presents a completely different face by day and by night. By day, the falls roar with the majestic force of a fate symphony. Take a helicopter ride to admire the surging waters as they thunder down nearly a hundred meters into the abyss, resembling a stampede of wild horses. By night, the falls are as tender and graceful as a serenade. Under the interplay of moonlight and mist, rainbows emerge from the canyon, gently drifting over the rocks and trees on the canyon’s edge — a beauty so dazzling it takes your breath away.

The “palace on the savannah,” the five-star tented camp (Fairmont Mara Safari Club), was built by the Fairmont group and rated as one of the world’s best boutique five-star hotels. Surrounded on three sides by the Mara River, the lodge is set against a backdrop of rivers, jungles, and plains. Its exterior design blends seamlessly with the surrounding environment, while the interior boasts modern luxury amenities. Enjoy gourmet cuisine and fine wines from around the world, unwind in a heated swimming pool, and observe hippos and crocodiles up close from your balcony. It's a hidden paradise within the pristine wilderness. The “Great Migration in Africa: Kenya & Victoria Falls 14-Day” tour is limited to 12 participants, departs on September 18, 2011, with a price of 475,000. For details, please contact EasyTravel.
