Kenya Safari holiday.
Go on safari on Kenya holidays, and cross the African plains in search of 'the Big Five' - the prized buffalo, leopard, the elephant, lion and rhino that dwell in the national parks and reserves. A Kenya holiday is sure to captivate animal lovers, but sun-seekers can stretch out on the soft golden sands bordering the desert landscape, framed by Mount Kilimanjaro. Answer the call of the wild with our Kenya holiday packages and you'll also discover the deep heart of Africa.
Migrating wildebeest and stalking lions Have your binoculars at the ready; the open savannahs of the Masai Mara will tremble around you during the breathtaking wildebeest migration. We love watching the grasses undulating in a sea of movement as the wildebeest move from the sun-drenched plains of the Serengeti to the Masai Mara. For the best sight of this migration, head to Grumeti River to see the wildebeest cross its muddy depths, watching the awesome power of nature as these animals are closely followed by lions, cheetahs, and hyenas waiting for their next meal. Wild side of nature Imagine seeing a herd of zebras peeking from tall grasslands or the mournful gaze of a rhino as it sips from a sparkling river. We love Meru National Park for its look at the wild side of nature. Originally made famous by Elsa the Lioness in the book and movie Born Free, Meru still manages to retain that same raw, rugged ambiance and you would be hard pressed to find another African wilderness with more unspoiled beauty. Game Drives Take a four-wheel drive safari through the bush on your holiday in Meru National Park. The vivid experience of getting so close to the magnificent creatures of this park will be unforgettable. You are likely to see lions, cheetahs, zebras, reticulated giraffes, and elephants. Make sure to have your binoculars at the ready, as there are more than 427 species of birds that make the park their home. Rhino Sanctuary Meru National Park is home to a sanctuary for rhinos. One of Kenya's success stories, the Rhino Sanctuary has 40 white rhinos and 20 black rhinos roaming freely among the bush. This is the best place to see these powerful animals amid their natural habitat. Mount Kenya. Mount Kenya is Africa’s second highest mountain at 5,199m (17,058 feet) and the highest of all Kenya Mountains. Mount Kenya is roughly circular, about 60km across at the 200mm contour, where the steep font hills rise out of the gentler slopes of the centered highlands. At the centre of the massif, the main peaks rise sharply from around 4,500m to the main summit of Batian 5,199m, Nelion 5,188m and point Lenana 4,985m. Other major summits on the mountain include Point Piggott 4,957m, Point Dutton 4,885 and Point John 4,883m. Of the three main peaks (Batian, Lenana and Nelion), only point Lenana can be reached by trekkers and the other two being only for technical climbers. Tsavo national Park Tsavo is the largest national park in Kenya and one of the largest in the world. Due to its size the park was divided into Tsavo West and Tsavo East. The Tsavo West has spectacular scenery with a rolling volcanic landscape while Tsavo East has more open savannah than its western sibling. Tsavo National Park is the ideal destination in Kenya for people who seek solitude and privacy as well as the chance to explore the wilderness. Africa's wild side The sight of elephants rolling in the red dust and spraying each other with water along Galana River is our favourite part of a holiday in Tsavo National Park. Some of the most quintessential sights of Kenya are here, from the heat-shimmering Yatta Plateau, the longest lava flow in the world, to vast herds of rhino, lions, leopards, and buffalos wandering the plains. We love this long look at Africa's wild side. East versus West Tsavo National Park is so large it is split into two. Tsavo West is filled with tall vegetation, rocky outcrops, and lava flow. This area of the park is home to the Big Five (lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffalos) and there are two waterholes for excellent wildlife viewing. This is also where you can visit the Chaimu Crater and the Roaring Rocks viewpoint. Tsavo East is home to large herds of elephants and buffalo wandering the open savannah. You will often see lions near the main gate. Amboseli National Park Amboseli is one of Kenya's most popular national parks. With its huge elephant population and amazing views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli is a "must see" destination for those would like to enjoying a safari in Kenya. Elephants grazing under Mount Kilimanjaro We could never forget the iconic sight of a herd of regal elephants strolling across the grass plains of Amboseli National Park, the snow-capped peak of majestic Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. This unforgettable view of some of the best big game against Africa's highest mountain is what we love about holidays to Amboseli. Head for Observation Hill where you can see across the park's expansive land to the swampy springs where elephants, buffaloes, and hippos come to drink. Balloon Safaris The best way to see the wildlife at Amboseli National Park is from the vast blue skies. A magical balloon safari takes you floating over the wild savannah of the park in a hot air balloon. This one-and-a-half hour tour drifts with the wind, showing you the plains, the breathtaking African sunrise, Mount Kilimanjaro, and the wild game of this magnificent park. Lake Nakuru Rhinos and flamingos Get your camera ready—there is nowhere else in the world you can get a photo of a rhinoceros sipping from a shimmering lake against a backdrop of thousands of flamingos. A pulsing pink carpet, the alkaline waters of Lake Nakuru are nearly invisible with the multitude of flamingos nesting here. We love Nakuru National Park holidays for these stunning vistas of flamingos and sightings of black and white rhinos. Lake Nakuru is one of the Rift Valley soda lakes at an elevation of 1754 m above sea level. It lies to the south of Nakuru, in the rift valley of Kenya and is protected by Lake Nakuru National Park. Bird Watching While thousands of flamingos sift food from the bottom of Lake Nakuru, ornithologists will be delighted to learn the birding is much more extensive than that. During a good year the number of flamingos on the lake swells to a million, making for an unforgettable sight as the lake becomes dwarfed under a sea of pink. There is also an additional 450 species of birds to see here, including pelicans, rare black Verreaux's eagles, and Cape wigeon ducks. |
