In West Africa, there�re also places to go on Safari.
They might be unknown, but they�re worth a visit.
Niokolo Koba for instance, it�s located in south east Senegal and is a WHS site.
The scenery is magnificent, you can find Chimpanzees over here and do pirogue trips on the Gambia River.
The abundance of wildlife isn�t as big as in the Parks of East and South Africa, but with some patience, you�ll always spot animals.

Things To Do: Mzima Springs Kenya

These crystal clear pools are a favourite hangout for hippos and crocodiles. The main attraction is a submerged viewing tank which was designed so that people could watch the hippo's antics underwater, but since it was built the hippos have retreated shyly to the other side of the pool. The good news is that you get a great view of the fish. The underground water that feeds the pools filters up through the volcanic rock of the Chyulu Hills and it is linked by pipeline to Mombasa, supplying most of the town's water.
