Best Places to Visit in East Africa After the Pandemic in 2021
- Seychelles
One of the best times to visit Seychelles is during the pandemic. Owing to the virus, locals are confined to their homes and do not prefer roaming around. Similarly, the tourist count has also dropped significantly, making this place an ideal location for those seeking seclusion and privacy. Explore the island all by yourself with your loved one or stay in the hotels and enjoy the sound of the waves crashing at the shore. The calm and silence of this place will surely relax your soul and help you unwind completely.
- The Zanzibar Archipelago
Zanzibar has had a reputation for being a hub of spice vendors and big game hunters. However, over the years, this semi-autonomous archipelago has transformed into a tropical paradise – a destination apt for explorers and people looking for a luxurious getaway! Being an archipelago, Zanzibar consists of an array of islands in the massive Indian Ocean. It is located in the East of Africa, just 15 miles off the coast of Tanzania. Visiting the pristine beaches in 2021 will be a great tropical escape for those in need of a getaway from a stressful year. Experience the beaches to be all by yourself and enjoy the quietness and peacefulness of the place!
- The Safaris of Tanzania
Tanzania is known for its diverse flora and fauna! It has, without any doubt, the best safaris in Africa! From Serengeti's wide plains to the natural wonders like the Ngorongoro Crater, the safaris in Tanzania are worth visiting. They not only offer guided tours and night stay in the same vicinity as the wildlife, but they also allow self-driven safaris. Being mindful of the precautions and maintaining a distance, it would be a wise option to opt for a self-drive safari.
Self-driven safaris will be private and mitigate the risks of contracting the virus by human contact.
- Ssese Islands of Uganda
Peppering waters of Lake Victoria and the golden sands of Latin America, the sunkissed beaches of the Ssese island in Uganda are the tropical gems of East Africa. This spot is considered the country’s premier rest and relaxation spot. Like the other island, this island also has the perks of being isolated and away from the localities. So, traveling to this place is safe to visit and perfect for pairs looking to spend some time alone.
