Kenya
|
Kenya is synonymous with safari, for it was the precursor of this type of adventure travel which offers this extraordinary and exciting experience in the wild, with the opportunity to see nature’s Big Five – elephant, lion, rhinoceros, buffalo and leopard. And it still offers some of the best safaris anywhere whether from a jeep, on foot or on horseback. A vast land which stretches from the Indian Ocean across the low plains to Lake Victoria on the border with Uganda, and to the central highlands which are bisected by the Great Rift Valley, right through to Mount Kenya, the country’s highest point. It is a land of explorers, farmers, adventurers and more than 70 indigenous tribal groups while offering the most magnificent national parks and nature reserves on the continent.
Choose from the Amboseli National Park at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro or the Masai Mara at the northern end of the Serengeti, which is part of the whole migration experience where hundreds of thousands of wildebeest, zebra and antelope follow the rains. Alternatively the Samburu Reserve is almost desert, whilst the Rift Valley Lakes, both freshwater and salt, are famed for their profusion of birdlife, hippos and crocodiles. End your holiday on the coastline at one of the seductive Indian Ocean resorts or on the island of Lamu.
