Kenya Safari – How Close They Are To The Animals
How many times have you watched the National Geographic programmes on the television and thought how fantastic the photography is and how close up they are to the animals. I have often thought how great it would be to see the wildlife and birdlife in their natural habitat and not just in the zoo. Well now you can do just that with a Kenya Safari, and the best part about it is that it doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg, well not unless you get too close to the lions that is.
Kenya safaris offer a once in a lifetime experience that will give you not only some of the best photo opportunities you’ve ever had, but also memories that you will cherish forever and can re-live every time you get your photo album out.
Kenya is situated in East Africa and is a diverse contrast of absolutely stunning scenery with magnificent lakes, coral white sandy beaches and beautiful National Parks, one of which, the Meru National Park, was used in the film ‘Born Free’ to release the lioness, Elsa, back into the wild. It is a magical mixture of lush rainforests, bleak desert, snow peaked mountain tops and grassy woodlands. It is has a rich and varied agriculture where they grow their own local produce including coffee, tea, rice and pineapples, and you will have a chance to sample it all first hand.
The wildlife in Kenya is among the most diverse in Africa and you can expect to see anything from lions, tigers, cheetahs, elephants, zebra, and giraffes to crocodiles, gazelles, ostrich, and buffaloes. The birdlife is also extensive and you may catch a glimpse of some of the rarest bird species whilst on your safari. You can choose from different types of Kenya safari depending on how you like to travel and where you like to stay. The accommodation ranges from simple camping tents to luxurious safari lodges and there are so many different types of safari to take advantage of like 4 wheel drive, railway, boat, trekking, horseback and even elephant safaris.
You will also have the opportunity to integrate with some of the local tribes and experience their culture and you can even join in with their tribal dances. The Masai tribe is the most famous in Kenya and is the most traditional, in the sense that they haven’t changed their customs and rituals since they originated and they are probably the most widely recognized for their colourful jewellery and clothing . But there are many different tribes in Kenya such as the Boran, the Embu, the Luhya, and the Orma to name but a few. Nowadays a lot of the tribes are much more westernised and families are made up of a mixture of these different tribes, who are all renowned for their hospitality.
