Martyn & Val travelled to Kenya
Huge thanks to Mary for her help an advice from my initial enquiry at the Bird Fair to us departing (& returning). This was an experience well outside our ‘comfort zone’ and we are so pleased to have booked with Safari Consultants. The ‘added value’ meant we had the most wonderful experience we could and was worth every penny to us. This was our trip of a lifetime but we do hope perhaps one day to do it again! Many thanks to all at Safari Consultants.
Kenya
Introduction
Introduction to the spectacular and diverse country of Kenya
From rugged hills and montane forests to endless savannah plains, Kenya offers incredible physical diversity. The scenery is breath-taking and the wildlife viewing is some of the finest available in the world, with the Masai Mara leading an impressive list of great safari areas. Walking safaris, horse riding safaris and mountain trekking will appeal to the more adventurous, and cultural interaction with the charismatic Maasai or Samburu is highly likely on any safari. For those looking for relaxation, the glistening white sands of the Indian Ocean coastline beckon.
Kenya’s safari history goes back to the early 1900’s and its fine tradition of personal guiding and warm hospitality still exists today. While a few wildlife parks have become commercially busy, it is a mistake to assume that exclusive safari regions, remote wilderness areas and intimate safari properties do not exist. Kenya caters for the experienced enthusiast just as easily as the first-time visitor.
Easy to reach from Europe and with a varied and well-organised internal tourism infrastructure, Kenya also delivers good value for money compared to other comparable destinations. In particular, Kenya offers some of the most cost effective ‘safari and beach’ combinations. Whether budget is important to you or not, this ability to easily combine incredible game-viewing with beautiful beaches has always made Kenya a wonderful family holiday or honeymoon destination.
So whether you’re looking for a specialist wildlife experience, a ‘bush & beach’ special celebration holiday, or perhaps a wonderful African adventure as a family, Kenya is the perfect destination to consider.
