Kenya Safari Holiday

Every since the first explorers where attracted to East Africa in search of ivory, slave trades and other wealth, Kenya has been legendary on the International Safari Holiday Map. Undoubtedly the most well renowned Kenya Safari Holiday destination is the Masai Mara National Reserve, which is home to numerous tribes and species but most famously known for the annual great migration.  Immortalized by David Attenborough’s highly educational nature films, the ultimate saga in the great migration is the crossing of 1.5 million wildebeest from the Serengeti National Park into the grazing of the Masai Mara National Park over the Mara River where prehistoric looking crocodiles lie in wait for the wildebeest in distress. This surely must rank as one of the most epic saga’s and privileged sightings one can ever see.

A Kenya Safari Holiday needs to include a certain amount of cultural acknowledgement with the local Masai and Samburu tribes people that live and tend to their cattle along resident wildlife within the Masai National Park.

The coastline on your Kenya Safari Holiday is beautiful, particularly on the Lama Archipelago featuring the Islands of Lawu, Manda and Pate.  As with the rest of East Africa, the people in Kenya are renowned for being warm, friendly and hospitality citizens.

A Kenya safari holiday holds untold charms for their visitors. The contrasting bright red of the Masai tribesmen will enthrall the visitor as they chant and dance a hypnotic like within their local custom.

For a bird’s eye-view on your Kenya safari holiday, take a ride in a hot air balloon high over the Masai Mara, (an excellent way to gain perspective of the magnitude of the great migration).  Most lodges in Kenya tend to be small and remote, many of them offering typical east African safari style canvass tenting, lanterns, fine silverware and dinners under a broad African sky.
