What are the main advantages of Eastern Africa over Southern Africa?

If you are intent on combining culture and wildlife, East Africa has no equal. Nowhere else can you see Maasai herdsmen with their cattle side by side with wild animals such as buffalo. In Tanzania’s northern circuit, for example, there are many opportunities to visit Maasai homesteads or cultural bomas, experience market days in the towns and villages, and to generally experience how wildlife and people co-exist. Another reason to specifically visit East Africa is to view the annual wildebeest migration. This spectacle of seeing hundreds of thousands of animals congregated in one area has no equal in southern Africa, except for the zebra migration in the Kalahari and the wildebeest migration in Liuwa National Park in Zambia.
