KENYA MY MOTHERLAND
General Overview:
Kenya has something for everybody. The palm-fringed, tropical, white, sandy beaches are one of the key attractions for many who come. Total relaxation is offered for those who want it, and for those who want more action; excitement and adventure are easy to find in a whole variety of forms: deep sea fishing, water skiing, snorkelling, scuba diving, white water rafting, mountaineering, off-road driving, snake safaris, and skydiving! You name it; Kenya offers fantastic opportunities for adventure and excitement.
The joy of climbing a mountain is something that has enamoured climbers throughout the ages. Those who enjoy this adventurous pastime can tell you that reaching the top of the summit is like being on top of the world. That wonderful feeling of achievement makes the struggle to get there, well worth the effort. The exhilarating euphoria any climber gets after many days of hard graft, makes up for the discomfort, cold feet and tiredness you're going to have to endure.
Safaris and wildlife:
Being home to Walt Disney’s "Lion King", it would be a shame not to spend at least a few days going on a safari here. There are so many game-parks throughout this beautiful country; with each one having it’s own unique landscape, flora and fauna. Seeing the big 5 is the attraction for many visitors, which means; lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino. In addition to the big 5, you’ll be sure to see an incredible variety of wildlife roaming freely through the open savannah. There are too many animals to mention here, but you’ll be sure to see many species of gazelle and antelope, zebra, different types of wild cats including cheetah, mongoose, monkey, bat eared fox, warthog, hyena, hippo, crocodile, crested crane and the extraordinary sight of lakes, literally pink with huge numbers of flamingo.
Wildebeest migration:
One of the most amazing wildlife spectacles in the world is the annual wildebeest migration which happens in the Masai Mara game reserve. Literally millions of these ungainly creatures attempt to cross the Mara River and escape the snapping jaws of hungry crocodiles. The sight and sound of this incredible event is one that will last with you for a lifetime.
