In early December, we traveled to Kenya to go on safari in the world-famous Masai Mara after many years. We had some doubts beforehand about going there during that period, knowing that the migration of wildebeests and zebras is much further south in Tanzania.

  “In which places do you have the best chances of spotting Wild Dogs?

  Suppose you want to go on a safari to Africa with your family, but you have no clue about what the best destination actually is.
