Many people still think of Africa as the Dark Continent, wild and untamed. When speaking of exploring Africa some get a mental picture of sweeping plains with huge herds of Buffalo and Zebra, and jungles populated with all sorts of exotic wild life. For the adventurous, tour operators offer Kenya safari holidays where one can experience the abundance of wildlife in its natural, un-spoilt setting.
The country is on the east coast of Africa and straddles the equator. It has a long Indian Ocean coastline and has a diverse geography, including savanna, jungle and mountains. It derives its name from Mount Kenya, the second highest mountain in Africa. It also boasts Africa's largest lake, Lake Victoria, which it shares with Uganda and Tanzania.
This country plays host to one of the world's greatest spectacles - the annual Wildebeest migration every June. The migration passes through the Masai Mara game reserve, with over one million Wildebeest stretching from horizon to horizon. Lions follow the migrating herd for easy hunting as they bring down the stragglers and the weak.
The crocodiles also benefit from the migration as the Wildebeest cross the Mara River. The powerful river currents sweep some of the herd away and others are taken by the crocodiles.
Viewing the Kenyan bush from a hot air balloon is an experience of a lifetime. Imagine the exhilaration of gliding silently through the air with a birds eye-view of the land and the wildlife. The balloon pilot will bring you down to treetop level for a close up and will also soar to greater heights to give you an overall view of this magnificent land.
For those who want to experience the bush and wildlife up close and personal, there are walking safaris and camel safaris. These safaris are led by experienced trackers and guides. They will ensure that your Kenya safari holidays will be unforgettable.
