Many people still think of Africa as the Dark Continent, wild and untamed. When speaking of exploring Africa some get a mental picture of sweeping plains with huge herds of Buffalo and Zebra, and jungles populated with all sorts of exotic wild life. For the adventurous, tour operators offer Kenya safari holidays where one can experience the abundance of wildlife in its natural, un-spoilt setting.
This beautiful country has much to commend it as a holiday destination. It has a geography that includes mountains, savannas and jungles. It is located on the equator and has a long coastline along the Indian Ocean. It also shares Africa's largest lake, Lake Victoria, with Uganda and Tanzania. It is named after Mount Kenya, the highest mountain in the country and the second highest mountain in Africa.
This country plays host to one of the world's greatest spectacles - the annual Wildebeest migration every June. The migration passes through the Masai Mara game reserve, with over one million Wildebeest stretching from horizon to horizon. Lions follow the migrating herd for easy hunting as they bring down the stragglers and the weak.
The migration passes through the Mara River, which is good news for the crocodiles. As the enormous herd crosses the strongly flowing river, some are swept away and drowned and many are taken by the crocodiles.
Viewing the Kenyan bush from a hot air balloon is an experience of a lifetime. Imagine the exhilaration of gliding silently through the air with a birds eye-view of the land and the wildlife. The balloon pilot will bring you down to treetop level for a close up and will also soar to greater heights to give you an overall view of this magnificent land.
Whatever your preference, you will find what you want on your Kenya safari holidays. If luxury and comfort is your thing, there are luxurious and comfortable lodges where you will be pampered. If you want to experience the bush and wildlife up close, you can choose a walking safari or a camel safari. These are led by experienced and knowledgeable guides who will ensure that your experience is one that you will treasure for life.
