Family safaris.
A game park described by writers as ' a home for the Gods' covers
150sq mile south of Nairobi and lies just at the foot of Mt
Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain at 5,895m. Kenya's Amboseli game reserve is
currently on the cross roads with the government and the local
communities both claiming ownership but still provides a unique
Kenya safaris destination. Kilimanjaro snow capped peaks
dominate every aspect of this
park and form a stunning backdrop to
the wildlife found here - elephant, lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo,
cheetah and a host of plains game and its breathtaking beauty, the
tag is well worth the effort.
The area is home to The Kenyan Masai people, tall,
colourful, proud, nomadic warriors famous for their legendary prowess
in battle and single handed acts of bravery in fights with wild
animals. Perhaps, more than any other people they have learned to
live in complete harmony with the wildlife which surrounds them;
this knowledge is proudly shared to visitors on
safaris in Kenya and well worth the
time. Kids will be allowed to get really close and explore the
simple but fascinating homesteads, adults will also enjoy the
cultural aspect of the lifestyle..

Africa safaris into the Maasai
tribesmen land.
A land so much
favoured by the gods that lions, leopards, giraffes, elephants and
other wildlife roam freely just ten kilometres from the metropolitan
capital city of Nairobi and most of the countryside. Clearly the
closest natural wildlife encounter in the world.
Kenya safaris,
a truly sacred land of contrast. With over forty game and marine
reserves, this only rubber stamps the saying ‘safari was born in
Kenya.’ Spectacular wild game, the rich coral marine parks, the most
beautiful beach and resorts in the eastern sea board, breath taking
rift valley landscape, not to mention the most recently declared
world heritage site – Lamu island. The annual
wild beast migration in the
heart of the masai land has just been nominated as one of world wonders.
The bold, courageous and
colourful Kenya Masai people consider their land scared and live in the most native and
cultural way imaginable, and a Kenya visit is not complete until you get a
chance to visit a Masai village whilst on safari, these people happen to be the
most hospitable persons since the
Kirgiz ethnic minority.
It’s hard to
imagine that until five years ago ‘The morans’ or the masai warriors were only
declared or initiated into adult hood only if one brings home a lions head after
a weeks survivor trial in the wild....more
Lamu is a must go especially after
an Africa
safari.
This
enchanting Kenya Island is commonly referred to as the world’s
sleepy village, probably the oldest African living town. Lamu
has retained its charm and character built over centuries and most
recently declared by the United Nations as a world heritage site.
The Portuguese
invaded Lamu in the 1500s and Kenya only became independent in 1963
and until the 19th century slave trade, timber and spice
export was Lamu’s economic pillar, now tourism plays a huge role.
The beauty of Lamu is that there are presently no cars in the
island, every man owns a donkey, the one without is commonly
referred to as one.
Lamu island in
Kenya is amazingly
away and forgotten from the modern outside world there is no better
place to be if you ‘really’ need to get away. Especially after that
Kenya safaris experience.
Children and women
sit and play quietly in the narrow street that reminds one of the old
Zurich town. All houses have a rooftop which is used as a patio
indicative of a society where ‘hanging back’ and ‘catching the breeze’
is very important.
A one hour
scheduled flight from Nairobi whilst on
safaris in
Kenya and you at Manda island then a 10 minutes
boat ride gets you to either Lamu town or shella village. Both are very
accommodative, the locals will smile and waive to welcome all in coming
visitors and the homely feeling immediately sets in...more
Honeymoon
in Kenya...
Kenya is probably the most effective
honeymoon destination if you don’t feel like the crowds at Saint-Étienne or
you haven’t ever, tried understanding French.
Well, what
really awaits newly weds or planning an African bush wedding is a superb
cultural experience that respects and values marriages, wildlife spa resorts
with world class service expectations, private honeymoon suites, uncrowned
tropical beaches and island. A private yacht, a private charter flight or a
chopper can all be easily done.
When requesting for a honeymoon package on a Kenya safari, regardless of the
budget and time frame, see to it that the program includes not to be missed
breathtaking countryside, landscapes and cultural experience, Kenya wildlife
safaris, a champagne breakfast balloon safari over the rolling masai Mara
game reserve is one unforgettable treat and finally the sandy beach and
islands is a must go

Community
based eco lodges in Kenya.
Community eco
lodges in Kenya are fast becoming hot spots for the authentic
travellers, holiday makers or first timers who are glad some well
informed travel consultant somewhere was resourceful enough to bring
to their attention the existence of these amazing small
accommodation alternatives in Kenya.
These
safaris in
Kenya destinations though priced above the average
tourist lodges, have hit the top most level in terms of value,
service and purpose. Wildlife and conservation is now a viable
alternative land use that compliments the traditional pastoralist
for most indigenous local people, mainly the maasai and samburu
tribesmen thus creating employment within the local communities and
providing a structure for future ecological positive developments
and growth of the tourism industry in Kenya.
So finally, you don’t have to ponder on how you can assist the
locals native people living in the remote grasslands of Kenya, these
tribesmen can now sustain themselves and get the kids going to
school for the fist time instead of looking after the family cattle,
they will also now have access to clean water.

Kenya has it all, thank
you..
A simple research
concluded that Kenya has all it takes to
tickle travellers, holiday makers and safari seekers than anywhere else in the world. The
equator divides the country in two, yes two almost equal half’s, so
whoever or whatever decided this, gave the land an imaginable advantage
as this only translates to very favourable tropical weather thought the
year.
Imagine sunshine
the better part of the year, real unspolt ‘sand’ beaches ‘not pepple’ –
a couple of heavenly palm fringed islands, natural upcountry scenes and
landscapes comparable to none, mixed welcoming cultures, snow capped
mount Kenya and ‘real’ wildlife. All compressed in a square radius the
size on Spain.
Nairobi the
capital is the entry point, the town has turned into a Cosmo city with
five star world class luxury hotels, casinos, night life is growing, and
further south is Mombasa second largest town or is its island? Equally
influenced and growing. So feel free to bring along Visa and
MasterCard’s, all shops and restaurants accept that too. Vehicles
branded ‘Tourist police’ can be seen around meaning security is well
taken care of and you are okay!
