Instagrams of the Week: East Africa

February 6, 2015 Sacha Mlynek

This ain’t Hemingway’s East Africa of big game hunting and lavish tented camps in the bush. This is an East Africa where the wildlife are free to roam through protected parks with backdrops of lush green hills and burning sunsets. If you can’t get there to take it all in from the window of your safari vehicle or a hot air balloon in the clouds, let these Instagrams of the Week help bide your time.

We're heading down Africa's majestic East Coast this week to find our Pic of the Day. This beautiful regram from @moose.nyc was taken in Amboseli National Park, Kenya. Show us your #gadv East Africa grams and you could be featured on our wall!

Getting There

Its name means “sunny place” in the Berber tongue, but “Africa” may as well be a synonym for “vastness.” A truly massive continent comprising over 20% of the planet’s available land, Africa is home to the world’s largest desert, its longest river, its hottest temperatures, and hundreds of dialects and cultures spread among a billion people. We’re thrilled at the prospect of showing you Africa — check out our small group adventures here.
