Experience Kangemi - one of Nairobis Slums

by istria_22

Take part in one of the guided tours through Kangemi, one of the slums in Nairobi. You’ll experience that the people of kangemi will certainly make you feel welcome. The tour guides, Daniel and Simon are born and living in Kangemi, they show you in four hours different places of Kangemi and the way people try to improve their lifes and work towards a better tomorrow.You could visit a typical Kangemi house, learn more about the daily life in kangemi, you could have a look at the local "Jua kali industry", have a short walk over the local Market, visit an orphanage and much more. You would never see things like that through a usual sightseeing. Find more information under http://kangemi-slum-tours.freehostia.com

Game Drive

by frenkthetank

Solio Game Reserve:Solio Ranch, is a fenced, protected area geared toward Rhino conservation. The private 17,500-acre Solio Game Reserve, 22km north of Nyeri, plays a major part in preserving and breeding black rhinos in Kenya. Most of the hook-lipped horned beasts wandering national parks were actually born here. Its current population of rhinos would make some sub-Saharan countries blush!The Ranch also supports a very diverse population of raptors. The ranch still lies within a greater area of indigenous woodland that buffers the effect of man a perfect place for conservation efforts.At Solio the contrast in topography and wildlife in this 18,000 acre reserve is stunning. Huge stands of yellow acacia compliment the higher rolling plains whilst a bountiful marsh, Solio's lifeline, bisects the sanctuary. Over 120 black and white rhinos live here. Most of the plains species can be seen...

Climbing or hiking around Kenya´s highest mountain

by sphynxxs

Mount Kenya National Park is for the more enduring visitors than the passengers of safari minibusses - at least if they decide to climb Kenya´s highest mountain, second only to Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. There are several routes to the summit, one of them only for experiences mountaineers and the others more challegning as the Kili route. Those who have to return without making it to the summit often tried too much (altitude) in too short time - give yourself time to get used to the altitude when trying to climb the mountain.Of course, you can just as well hike along the lower slopes, enjoying a nature very much different from the savannah of Masai Mara or the Tsavos, or enjoy the panorama from the terrace of hotels in Nanyuki or Naro Moru

African Memorable Safaris

by Dafnemarielle

I like to tell you about our experience with your African Memorable Safaris. With my wife daughter and son we made the 3-day Tsavo-West+East last October 2009.And really Geofry, our guide, host and friend made this tour a success. We had a lot of fun, saw the big five (including the black reno) and many, many more, enjoined Geofry's knowledge about Kenia, its population, its way of life, its animals and remarkable knowledge about birds. We will recommend your company and of course your guide Geofry to all our friends in The Netherlands.We will never forget this experience.Kind Regards,Dolf, Tineke, Jorg and Dafne van den Berg

Great safari with African Memorable Safaris

by Bergje83

We booked our safari with African Memorable Safaris and had a fantastic experience with this organization! We arranged our safari already in the Netherlands before we left for Kenya. Jennifer is always ready and fast to answer questions. At the first day our guide Geoffrey was right on time to pick us up at our resort. He was a really great guide!! He knew everything about the animals and was able to show us a lot of different ones. He was really funny and always in a good mood! He made sure we were always first or second at the special spots. The most special moment was at the end of the safari…we saw five cheetah’s hunting and eating a reedbuck, we didn’t even need our binoculars!! Please make sure to book your safari with this organization, they are very reliable, well organized and keep every promise they make!! We recommend AMS to all of you and if we’ll ever visit Kenya again, we...

Eco Friendly (Natures Friend)

by Generali

When visiting Kenya, one should be Eco Friendly (Natures friend)!! By this i mean that you should atleast plant one Tree or two to assist in the Climate Change fight!If you do this, the Animals and people will have good rains. On this note, the next time you, your friends, or children come to visit Kenya; they will see many animals. We can say that is Tourism Sustainability.

great valley rift

by hanspeter_W.

The Great Rift Valley is a name given in the late 19th century by British explorer John Walter Gregory to the continuous geographic trough, approximately 6,000 kilometres (3,700 mi) in length, that runs from northern Syria in Southwest Asia to central Mozambique in East Africa. The name continues in some usages, although it is today considered geologically imprecise as it combines features that are today regarded as separate, although related, rift and fault systems. Today, the term is most often used to refer to the valley of the East African Rift, the divergent plate boundary which extends from the Afar Triple Junction southward across eastern Africa, and is in the process of splitting the African Plate into two new separate plates. Geologists generally refer to these incipient plates as the Nubian and Somalian subplates or protoplates.

masai mara nationalpark

by hanspeter_W.

The Masai Mara (also spelled Maasai Mara) is a large park reserve in south-western Kenya, which is effectively the northern continuation of the Serengeti National Park game reserve in Tanzania. Named for the Maasai people (the traditional inhabitants of the area) and the Mara River, which divides it, it is famous for its exceptional population of game and the annual migration of zebra, Thomson's gazelle and the wildebeest from the Serengeti every year from July to October, a migration so immense it is called the Great Migration.

Nakuru Rhino

by Buckz

Exit Stage Left-Black Rhino- virtually every land creature has out evolved the Rhino- These lethargic grumpy grazers and browsers had no predators, and an ample food supply- so they had no need to change. Now they are being hunted to extinction to drive up the price of Rhino Horn Stockpiles.I can't stop this, and you probably can't either. BUT IF ANYONE CAN, WE CAN. If we are emphatic and determined and consistent in rejecting and renouncing all products made from endangered animals then maybe Rhinos and Tigers stand a chance. If we make sure that anyone who permits the trade in such animal parts knows how we feel then the next generation might get to see some of these species.Do you think you are too small to be noticed? try spending a night in a room with an angry Mosquito- Size isn't important it's the amount of noise you make that matters.
