·· Kenya Safari:
Out of Africa
KENYA'S appeal as a safari destination is legendary, partly due to the appeal of movies such as "Born Free", "Out of Africa" and "White Mischief", which chronicled the decadent lifestyles of rich, idle expatriates. However, credit is due more to a very well managed wildlife and conservation program, which has seen Kenya's parks remain pristine and relatively free of the scourge of poaching as local communities coexist within these regions and parks, working together to protect their future.
Kenya is a country of alluring landscapes and sweeping vistas of savannah grassland interspersed with Acacia thorn trees, which are home to a wide variety of wildlife living alongside local tribes, including majestic Masai warriors, a colorful and nomadic people with a proud history and tradition.
The most famous of these reserves is Masai Mara, which borders the Serengeti in Tanzania, and is home to the annual wildlife migration, when herds of over 2 million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle trek across the rivers that separate these two great wildlife reserves in search of fresh grazing.
Among Kenya's many other attractions are the top destinations of Amboseli with its spectacular backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. Closer to Nairobi is the alluring beauty of Mount Kenya, white the white sands of the Indian ocean beckon travelers to put their feet up, relax and unwind.
Kenya's capital of Nairobi is served by daily flights out of London and Amsterdam. It is best to access the wildlife regions on a scheduled flight out of Nairobi to a local airport rather than undertake a long drive along roads which are often grueling and bumpy.
