 Have you Ever Considered a Safari in Kenya?

   By Phil Waddington

A safari is a great way to travel and to see various types of wildlife. Trekking over land in a foreign country is a wonderful way to learn about the area, along with different types of animals. Beautiful Kenya is located on the east coast of Africa.

Coinciding your safari with wildlife migration is important. On safaris, one might expect to get a glimpse of wildebeests, lions, leopards, buffalo, elephants, rhinoceros, and giraffes. The best time of year to witness the migration of wildebeests, zebra, and gazelles is between July and October. They migrate from the Serengeti into the Masai Mara during that time.

There are several types of Kenyan safaris. Depending on how long the vacation is going to be and who will be going, there are several options. There are luxury safaris, overland safaris, bush and beach safaris, family safaris and romantic safaris.

Luxury safaris are unique in that people are flown in small planes to see the wildlife and country scenery from above. Once on the ground, often there will be furnished campsites to stay in. They have tents with cots, a kitchen tent, and many comforts of home.

Overland safaris are ideal if time is not a factor in the vacation. This type of safari in Kenya is great for people who are laid back and enjoy meeting other people. Overland safaris usually include more than just one country, so Kenya might not be your only stop. Camping in the wilderness is included in this type of safari.

Bush and beach safaris are available also. Instead of spending most of the time in the savanna and grasslands of Kenya, time is spent on the beaches overlooking the Indian Ocean. The coastlines are beautiful and there are several fascinating islands to visit. People that go on this type of safari can get into the water to see the underwater world of Kenya.

Family safaris are a great experience for children. Many safaris for families include activities for children including meeting some of the local children. They will get to see animals like cheetahs, bat-eared foxes, spotted hyenas, and antelope to name only a few. There are also birds that fly throughout the area such as vultures, secretary birds, ostrich, long-crested eagle, and African pygmy falcon. They will get to learn about Kenya's wildlife and they will take the experience with them for the rest of their lives.

Romantic safaris are great for newlyweds going on their honeymoon, or for married couples celebrating an anniversary. Couples will experience incredible opportunities that one would never thank about, such as a candle-lit dinner out in the wilderness or bubble baths on the great plains under the stars.

So, there are all sorts of safaris to meet an individual's needs. Whether vacationing alone or with a special someone, a safari in Kenya is a great opportunity for anyone.
