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.

Visit to Fort Jesus in Mombasa. Fort Jesus was built by the Portuguese in 1593. Throughout its tumultuous history, the Fort changed hands no less than nine times between the Portuguese and the Omani Arabs, and was used by the arabs as a slave trading centre where slaves were imprisoned in a small cave before being exported to various countries. The fort was later used as a prison during the early colonial period until 1958, and is now a museum run by the National Museums of Kenya.

Set on the Kenyan plains with Mt Kilimanjaro as a backdrop in the distance, Amboseli is a "must-do" for most visitors to Kenya.

Secreted deep within the Masai Mara National Reserve, the Mara Serena Safari Lodge is the ultimate safari destination. Set high on a bush-cloaked hill, embraced by arcing vistas and washed by a sea of richly rolling grasslands, it stands centre-stage to one of Africa's most dramatic wildlife arenas and has a ringside seat for the greatest wildlife show on Earth, the legendary migration of the wildebeest.

Drawing its inspiration from the traditional Maasai cultural motif of a cluster of domed, mud-coloured huts encircled by a "Boma" of brushwood, the Mara Serena offers a rare blend of raw African splendour and sumptuous sophistication. The essentially ethnic décor also draws on a vibrant colour-palette of sun-burst colours, embellished by a unique selection of Maasai art to create the look and feel of a traditional bush encampment. The lodge features individual rooms, each with their own balcony and view of eternity, a sky-blue swimming pool and a spectacular restaurant, overlooking a water hole where a fantasia of creatures collect to drink.

Enjoy the clip!

The Masai Mara is a treasure trove of wildlife. You can stay in Saruni Lodge and venture out into the plains of the Masai Mara.

Established in 2003 by a group of friends who shared their passion for Africa.

This lodge accommodates around 12 guests at the main lodge and six at our nearby tented camp, Campi ya Tembo. It is located on remote valley at the heart of the most exciting wilderness of Kenya, the lodge offers a new concept of African safari: a real adventure lived in harmony with the Maasai warriors coupled with high standards of style and comfort...[more]. 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.

Lamu is a hot destination with a lot of surprises. In this short clip you will get to know the Maulidi Cultural Festival in Lamu. Enjoy the view!
