There Still Remains a Country That Has it All

A simple research concluded that Kenya has all it takes to tickle travelers and holiday makers than anywhere else in the world. The equator divides the country in two, yes two almost equal half’s, so whoever or whatever decided this, gave the land an imaginable advantage as this only translates to very favorable tropical weather thought the year.

Imagine sunshine the better part of the year, real un poit ‘sand’ beaches ‘not pebble' – a couple of heavenly palm fridged islands, natural upcountry scenes and landscapes comparable to none, mixed welcoming cultures, snow capped mount Kenya and ‘real’ wildlife.  All compressed in a square radius the size on Spain.

Nairobi the capital is the entry point, the town has turned into a Cosmo city with five star world class luxury hotels, casinos, night life is growing, and further south is Mombasa second largest town or is its island? Equally influenced and growing. So feel free to bring along Visa and MasterCard’s, all shops and restaurants accept that too. Vehicles branded ‘Tourist police’ can be seen around meaning security is well taken care of and you are okay!

The countries location is favorably good as it’s halfway down the continent that’s why the United Nations set up its Africa hub in Nairobi due to the security and convenience Kenya enjoys. The country is well serviced by almost all major international airlines daily!  British airways arrives twice a day, KLM, Swiss air, Emirates, and Virgin. If you are planning a trip in, Kenya airways have surprisingly beaten most major liners in service and value.

The game reserves in Kenya which happen to be major safari destination can be accessed on a one hour flight from Nairobi, if you don’t feel like a 4 hour drive on real African roads. The experience on a Kenya safari is awesome, the sight of a cheater or a leopard hunting and coming back with the kill to feed its young is not something you get to see twice in your life time. The animals roam freely in the free Kenyan reserves and the wild beast migration in July and August is a world spectacle.

If you enjoy a natural unspoilt and virgin settings you will defiantly want to see what this section of Africa, its not a coincidence that animals, birdlife and marine life inhabits this great land and continues to thrive in it, now more than ever due to the protection programs that have been put in place. 

The game lodges and luxury safari camps are a life time Africa safaris experience, excellent food, tranquility and ambience, some come with a hammock to read a book on and spa and wellness facilities have just come of age.

Safaris in Kenya is recorded as second to non, The field museum of Chicago can comfortably second this, it happens to be a major attraction and harbors the two stuffed nine feet long man eaters lions of Tsavo national park, the legendary predators killed over 150 railway workers in Kenya 100 years ago before Lt -Col John Patterson shot and sold them off in the US for US$ 5,000?

The green lush country side mostly on the rift valley floor is a must see if you plan to visit.  Golf resorts, country homes, farm home stays and game sanctuaries with luxury and basic camping facilities have easy access. From your locations you can enjoy fishing, horse rides, camel safaris, walking safaris, biking, hot air balloon safaris and cultural visits.

Small airstrips distributed across the country will make access in all locations in scheduled flights very convenient. Don’t miss out the coast, Lamu island, Mombasa beaches and its world class resort. Fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling and jet skis are some of the activities available.

So, it only makes sense if you wish to have it all in one plate, game view in open 4x4 with super driver guides from a world class lodge or a luxury tented camp, go fishing from one of the county homes or lodge, have a round of golf, enjoy a weekend treat with the masai tribesmen in a remote location or just sit and sun bath and enjoy your best cocktail in a coastal beach resort, hike mount Kenya and if you got some more time to spare, stay in a log cabin or cottage up Mount Kenya near lake Alice, they say ‘its the only place in the world where you can stay for an hour without hearing a sound from anywhere, Yes, No noise at all…think about that… In your life time you have NEVER been in a no noise or sound situation, there is always some wind or birds or a ten wheeler truck cruising down some highway!  I am made to understand siren are pretty popular in central Sheffield, so there’s your tip to get away and take a 14 days safari vacation in wonderland Kenya. 

The only one thing you don’ find in Kenya is - Ski resorts.
