 | Sunset in savannah   |  | |
 |  | ||
 |  on October 4, 2006 |
Here you can see the pictures, taken one after another, with camera aimed directly to the sun and the landscapes under the reflective light of the sun while going down. The colours are spectacular because, all the sudden, the sky becaming coloured in broiling yellow-gold colour. On the other side, the forrest becoming mixture of enriched natural colours and everything looks breath-taking. |

Kenyian kids are just beautiful and I couldn't resist taking a lots of pictures. Before taking pictures, out on the streets, ask first because some parents wont allow it. However, most of them will agree and if possible print your pictures and give or send it to them. Hope that nobody here will abuse this pictures for other purpose. |

| Malindi | | |
| | ||
| on October 4, 2006 |
Malindi Beach, or just Malindi, can be called "Piccola Italia" because more than 4000 Italians live here. As a metter of fact, most of the restaurants and bars are held by Italians and here you can enjoy in traditional italian cuisine and excellent seafood. I made a day trip here, visiting nearby historic sight of Gedi and the beach resort famous for its underwater world. Haven't seen much of the town, only the small part of it situated on the seashore where we had lunch in one Italian restaurant. The Malindi beach resort looks good, it is several kilometres long sandy beach wth the characteristic white coloured sand. The water is much deeper here than the water in Shanzu or Bamburi beach but still, it is shallow. |

| Watch the animals | | |
| | ||
| on September 26, 2006 |
The truth is, these safari parks occupied huge area which barely can be considerate the zoo's. The animals are free to go wherever they want and, as I could see it, they move from one to other place inside the park. Besides, Africa is their natural enviroment. Since I am an animal lover, I was trully impressed and fascinated by watching all these animals in their every day activities. The most fascinating moment I've seen happened very early in the morning when group of antelopes start to run across the savannah. It was amazing scene because, from time to time and all the sudden, they jumped high in the air in order to change direction. I tried to snaped them, but the light was poor and they were so quick. When I checked the pictures it was nothing to see. |

| SAFARI | | |
| | ||
 |  on February 19, 2007 |
It's a must to go on a "Safari" when you are in africa. In swahili "Safari" means journey or expedition. When you are in Kenya i think Tsavo is a "must" to visit, it's the biggest nathionalpark in Kenya - It's where Finch Hatton crashed with his airplane (Karen Blixen's lover) And it's where the Man-Eating lions terrefied the workers of the Mombasa-Nairobi railway when it was buildt in 1898 click here My pictures is taken in November 2002 after "the short rains" which makes the scenary green and beautiful. I can recommend BUSHWORKERS TOURS Located in Ukunda. Daniel Mwai is the man to contact. He may arrange your trip, reasonable in price , and with experienced safari-drivers from a reliable company (Janoland tours) Take a look at the website below. I always like to relax a few days at the coast,before i go on a Safari trip -And Daniel is the man to get in touch with , to arrange it! |

| Sunset in savannah | | |
| | ||
| on October 4, 2006 |
It is hard to say which part of the day in savannah looks more spectacular, the sunrising or the sunset, but definetely the both are just fascinating. One thing is for sure, being here and missing one of them or maybe both would be a great shame. The only thing that crossed my mind was to keep these scenes in my memory as long as possible. |

| Watch the animals | | |
| | ||
| on October 5, 2006 |
Most of these animals I have already seen before, but in the Zoo only where they share limited space and ambient wich is far of being their natural enviroment. Some people say, the safari park is nothing but huge zoo and the only difference is, it is situated in Africa. I could share a small part of such an opinion because the fact is, we pay ticket to watch the animals and they are kept closed in fenced area. Thanks to our fellow member SanguiniA who help me to find out the name of the lovely bird on my picture nr. 3, it is Grey Crowned Crane known also as the national bird of Uganda. |

| Visit Safari Parks | | |

| on September 11, 2006 |
This are pictures from Kimana but could been taken in any of Safari parks with same spectacular look. The sunrising in savannah can make poets out of us or, as happened to me, I just couldn't say a word watching it. The same goes for sunsets, this were definetely breath-taking moments. They say; "picture tells a thousands of words" and I couldn't agree more than that. |

| Diani Beach | | |
| | ||
| on October 4, 2006 |
Diani Beach is located about 30km south of Mombasa and is known as an residential area where many whites own the houses. It is considered as one of the most beautiful beach resort in whole of Kenya, in particularly for its white coloured sand. Diani Beach is windiness area, most favourable for sailling and windsurfing. Unfortunatelly, it was cloudy day during my visiting and the colour of the sand isn't that spectacular on my pictures as it is in a real life. There is huge difference here between high and low tide, almost hundred of meters, and it makes this beach in particularly attractive. |

| Mombasa's old Fort Jesus | | |
| | ||
 |  on December 12, 2006 |
On my earlier 1973 solo trip through East Africa, I had travelled further east than Amboseli, ending up on the Indian Ocean coastline, where I was astounded to see a postcard-like fortress guarding the harbour of Mombasa! It turns out that the Portugese began building Fort Jesus in 1593 as part of their trade network along the tenuous routes to their far-Eastern possessions in India, China and Indonesia. By 1598 the fort was ready for habitation but its construction continued until completion in 1631. Not paying much attention to the details of history in this part of the world, I had never realized that this once-British colony had long-before been Portugese territory. Fort Jesus has had its share of battles, changing hands more than once over the centuries as both the locals and Arab slave-traders battled the Portugese for control of this coral outcrop at the entrance to Mombasa. Its first major test came in 1631 when the locals revolted and massacred the garrison, requiring Portugal to recapture the Fort in 1632. The next assault came in 1661 when the Omani Arabs decimated the city, but were unable to capture the fort. They had better luck the next time, beseiging the fort for over two years (1696-98) before it finally fell to their forces. This basically put an end to Portugese influence in East Africa, although they later ruled large colonies to the south in Angola and Mozambique. Fort Jesus came under British rule in 1895 when this part of Africa became a British Protectorate, and it was converted to a prison by its new owners. The fort is now a very interesting museum and tourist attraction. I was not to see another example of this architecture until visiting Portugal itself in 2004! |
