A First Timer’s Guide to a Kenya Safari



Kenya has a considerable land area which is devoted solely to housing wildlife habitats, such as the Masai Mara. The diversity of the somewhere lush, somewhere arid Kenya is sure to intice you to explore further. Masai Mara witnesses the annual migration of blue wildebeest from Serengeti in Tanzania, looking for food and water. Thousands of wildebeest travel in herds and several hundred perish on the way, but the migration event happens every year without fail, like clockwork. People from all over the world, previously having seen the spectacle on their television sets, want to experience for themselves the vibrations of the arid earth beneath them, as thousands of wildebeests move as one, crossing valleys and plateaus. For such experiences a Kenya safari or a Tanzania safari is an absolute must, especially if you get your high from being near wild animals. Wildebeests are in no way dangerous to humans, but you wouldn’t want to get too close to those lethal looking hooves, now would you?

Kenya safari

Now a Kenya safari need not necessarily mean that you have to rough it up, living in make-shift tents and eating raw vegetables and shoots. In fact, these safari trips can be carried out in complete and utter luxury, if you book with the right people! Look online for packages that provide the unmistakable touch of luxury to your safari, and make sure that you get to visit Lake Nakuru National Park and Amboseli National Park, apart from the Masai Mara.
