Safari is Swahili for "journey" and it is in Kenya
where safaris began. Magnificent national parks and reserves brim
with wildlife. Lush forests and breathtaking mountains provide awe
inspiring photographic opportunities. Fascinating tribal cultures
abound and the amazing variety and quantity of bird life are an
ornithologist's paradise. The massive Great Rift Valley is
no more impressive than in Kenya. The 310 miles of golden beaches
of the Kenyan Coast invite the visitor to relax and enjoy the peaceful
surroundings. The small islands off the coast beckon.
But it is perhaps the wildlife more than anything
that draws visitors to Kenya. The annual migration from the Serengeti
in the south into the Masai Mara sees more than one million wildebeest,
along with a host of other plains game, assemble in giant herds.
Kenya boasts some of the finest reserves in Africa - and visitors
will be thrilled at the sight of lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant,
giraffe, gazelle, buffalo, hippo, rhino - and hundreds more.
