East Africa - an exciting region

East Africa is an exciting and interesting region. There are a number of countries that receive tourists to a slightly greater extent, but also countries that are very rarely visited by tourists. It is common to travel to the region to experience safaris with large wild animals such as lions and elephants. Visits to a safari park are often combined with sunbathing on one of the many beautiful beaches.
