There still remains a county that has it all.
A simple research
concluded that Kenya has all it takes to
tickle travellers and holiday makers 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 favorable tropical weather thought the
year.
Imagine sunshine
the better part of the year, real un spoilt ‘sand’ beaches ‘not pebble’ –
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!
Kenya
location is favourably good as it’s halfway down the continent that’s why
the United Nations set up its Africa hub in Nairobi due to the security
and convenience Kenya enjoys. The country is well serviced by almost all
major international airlines daily! British airways arrives twice a
day, KLM, Swiss air, Emirates, and Virgin. If you are planning a trip
in, Kenya airways has surprisingly beaten most major liners in service
and value.
The game reserves
in Kenya which happen to be major safari destination can be accessed on
a one hour flight from Nairobi, if you don’t feel like a 4 hour drive on
real African roads. The experience on a
Kenya safari
is awesome, the
sight of a cheater or a leopard hunting and coming back with the kill to
feed its young is not something you get to see twice in your life time.
The animals roam freely in the free Kenyan reserves and the wild beast
migration in July and August is a world spectacle.
If you enjoy a
natural un spoilt and virgin settings you will defiantly want to see
what this section of Africa, its not a coincidence that animals,
birdlife and marine life inhabits this great land and continues to
thrive in it, now more than ever due to the protection programs that
have been put in place.
The game lodges
and luxury safari camps are a life time Africa safaris experience,
excellent food, tranquillity and ambience, some come with a hammock to
read a book on and spa and wellness facilities have just come of age.
Safaris in Kenya is recorded as second to
non, The field museum of Chicago can comfortably second this, it happens
to be a major attraction and harbours the two stuffed nine feet long man
eaters lions of Tsavo national park, the legendary predators killed over
150 railway workers in Kenya 100 years ago before Lt -Col John Patterson
shot and sold them off in the US for US$ 5,000?
The green lush
country side mostly on the rift valley floor is a must see if you plan
to visit. Golf resorts, country homes, farm home stays and game
sanctuaries with luxury and basic camping facilities have easy access.
From your locations you can enjoy fishing, horse rides, camel safaris,
walking safaris, biking, hot air balloon safaris and cultural visits.
Small airstrips
distributed across the country will make access in all locations in
scheduled flights very convenient. Don’t miss out the coast,
Lamu
Island,
Mombassa beaches and its world class resort. Fishing, scuba
diving, snorkelling and jet skis are some of the activities available.
So, it only makes
sense if you wish to have it all in one plate, game view in open 4x4
with super driver guides from a world class lodge or a luxury tented
camp, go fishing from one of the county homes or lodge, have a round of
golf, enjoy a weekend treat with the masai tribesmen in a remote
location or just sit and sun bath and enjoy your best cocktail in a
coastal beach resort,
hike mount Kenya and if you got some more time to
spare, stay in a log cabin or cottage up Mount Kenya near lake Alice,
they say ‘its the only place in the world where you can stay for an hour
without hearing a sound from anywhere, Yes, No noise at all…think about
that… In your life time you have NEVER been in a no noise or sound
situation, there is always some wind or birds or a ten wheeler truck
cruising down some highway! I am made to understand siren are pretty
popular in central Sheffield, so there’s your tip to get away and take a
14 days safari vacation in wonderland Kenya.
The only one thing
you don’t find in Kenya is - Ski resorts.
