A Different Holiday Option: Kenya Safari Holidays

By Denver Burke


For those looking for a different holiday experience, Kenya safari holidays could be just the thing. Africa is still the land of wide-open spaces, huge herds of game and dense jungles teeming with all sorts of exotic wildlife.

Kenya offers all of this and more. Named after its highest mountain, Mount Kenya is the second highest mountain in Africa. Lake Victoria, Africa's largest lake is shared with Tanzania and Uganda. Located in East Africa and on the equator, it has a varied geography, with a long Indian Ocean coastline, rolling savannas and dense jungles.

Probably the best time of year to visit is in June. This is the time of the annual Wildebeest migration through the Masai Mara game reserve. At this time every year over one million Wildebeest congregate, and the sight of them, stretching from horizon to horizon is not one to be missed. For the lions, the migration offers easy hunting as they pick off the stragglers.

It is also a time of plenty for the crocodiles in the Mara River, as the herd makes its relentless way through the swiftly flowing water. Hyenas also follow the herd, attacking the weak and the young.

A most spectacular way of experiencing the Kenyan bush and wildlife is from a hot air balloon. Whether you are skimming the tops of the trees or seeing the overall vista from a greater height, this is an experience that will stay with you for life.

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.
