All about Africa Travel

Samburu is one of the lesser known game reserves of Kenya, but well worth the visit. On the banks of a river, there is plenty of trees and water to attract animals from far and wide. As with the rest of Kenya, anywhere you find an abundance of animals, you will find predators not too far behind.

The beauty of Samburu's lesser known reputation is the lack of crowds making for a more intimate game experience than some other parks offer.

Soaring mountain ranges give way to plummeting valleys as streams cascade over waterfalls, making Aberdares National Park a landscape lovers paradise. With over 250 species of bird, it is also a haven for bird watching enthusiasts.

Located in the heart of Aberdares National Park, The Ark is known as a "tree hotel", built on pylons in such a way as not to disturb the animals around the waterhole. Its three decks provide superb vantage points for game viewing around the floodlit waterhole.

Nairobi has many restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisine, but the most famous is probably Carnivore. The restaurant is famous for its succulent steaks and barbecue dishes, including game meat, and is therefore dubbed "the meat eaters" paradise.

The meat is roasted on traditional Maasai swords (skewers) over a huge charcoal pit which dominates the entrance of the restaurant. The waiters serve the customers as they carry around these swords, carving the meat onto sizzling cast iron plates.

The restaurant also offers a vegetarian menu with a wide range of salads and vegetables, along with exotic sauces. The meal is an excellent complement to a holiday especially as a welcome or farewell dinner.

This Private Mombasa City Tour shows you some of the best highlights of this colorful old city. You tour will visit the bustling fruit and vegetable market, which has been in operation since colonial days. As you wonder the streets of The Old Arab town, you will see the intricate hand carved doors, and balconies hanging over the narrow streets, unchanged for hundreds of years.

Protecting the harbor stands Fort Jesus which was built by the Portuguese 400 years ago, to protect their interest in east Africa. See how it went from Fort to prison to tourist attraction.

Walk under the famous elephant tusks on Moi Ave, which you probably have seen in those old African adventure movies. Finally we visit the Akamba wood carvers center. Here you can purchase a fine hand carved African memento, that you would have to pay so dearly for back home.

For the photographer, sights and opportunities for great photos abound.

Set on the Kenyan plains with Mt Kilimanjaro as a backdrop in the distance, Amboseli is a "must-do" for most visitors to Kenya. The park is world-famous for its substantial population of African Elephants which can be seen in herds of over 100 individuals. In particular the large bull elephants have some of the largest tusks in the animal kingdom.

Also waiting to be spotted are ample herds of buffalo, wildebeest, zebra and impala, as well as giraffes and warthog. With all this variety you can be sure a healthy population of predators also call Amboseli home. Lions, leopards, caracals, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas and serval cats are all frequently seen in the park.

Your first night will be spent at a lodge within Amboseli.

Next stop is the Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge, the first lodge ever built inside a Kenyan National Park. Adjacent to a busy waterhole, the lodge offers fantastic game viewing right on site.

Have a look at Mara! since its a wonderful place to be! The lions of the Maasai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya dominate the landscape as herds of wildebeest make their annual migration!

Enjoy the clip showing the Saruni Lodge!

Are you planning for safari in Kenya? I bet this is an interesting activity that would leave you in a lot of excitement.

The best time to be in Kenya for safari to experience the diversity in wildlife is during the annual migration of millions of wildebeest, zebra and others travel through the Mara plains with predators close behind. The best season to see this is during the months of July to October. Other parks in Kenya are also excellent and the best time to visit these would be during the dry seasons that is; January through March and July through October.

The great annual migration of millions of zebra, wildebeest and other antelope in East Africa tops almost every list of safari experiences. When you plan your trip, you'll need information about the annual migration, the best times to witness this wildlife spectacle, where to stay, and when to see it in Kenya and Tanzania.

This clip shows the migration of the wildebeest.


With the lack of enough water during the dry seasons, the animals tend to gather in more high numbers around permanent water holes, rivers and lakes, so they are easier to find. The vegetation is also less lush which simply means that viewing animals from a distance is easier. For more information contact Mara

The 2nd clip shows more on Mara.

Mahale Mountains National Park is one of the leading National Parks in Tanzania. Its mostly known as one of the rain forest with African Chimpanzees.
