Village Cultural Safari There are several opportunities to meet the various cultural communities that exist in Africa, to see their ways of life, to interact/ask questions and learn from them. Some are more authentic than others. Revenue generated from your stay is plowed back into the community and into the conservation of the land and its habitats. There are several projects in the works including: school projects, water supply and mobile medical clinics. Many traditional African communities understand that future of the culture, community, rites, traditions and rituals can only be preserved if they fully participate and take charge.
Elsamere One of Kenya's more informative activities is a visit to the country's most historic house. On the banks of picturesque Lake Naivasha lies the former home of the conservationists George and Joy Adamson. Built amongst giant yellow acacia trees, it is home to a troop of curious black and white colobus monkeys and restless fish eagles. Elsamere, named after the best known lioness in the world, is now a museum and conservation centre dedicated to one of the most famous wildlife stories ever told. The story of the Adamsons' relationship with Elsa the lioness was immortalised in Joy's 1959 book "Born Free" and the subsequent movie.
Amboseli Safari Amboseli National Park is a very popular Kenya safari reserve because of the stunning view it displays of nearby Mount Kilimanjaro, the world’s tallest freestanding mountain. When you go on your Amboseli Safari, be sure to get the famous photograph of elephants with the unforgettable views of Kilimanjaro in the background! Streams from Kilimanjaro surface in the centre of Amboseli, creating swamps that attract and support a rich diversity of wild animals and birdlife. Masai mara Safaris The Masai Mara is home to a great wildlife spectacle, as sometime between August and November more than two million wildebeest migrate from the Serengeti in search of water and grazing. For many people, timing their Masai Mara Safari to coincide with the migration seems vital - but with a very abundant and healthy resident population of animals, a holiday to the Masai Mara is great at any time of the year. |
