Our selected regions in Kenya...

	Amboseli - Chyulu Hills Amboseli is famous for its big game. Elephants, lions and cheetahs are the main attractions.
	Coast The Kenyan coast is lined with pristine white and sandy beaches fringing the warm inviting waters of the Indian Ocean. Here the wilderness meets the sea, and the ocean itself holds a world of spectacular coral reefs teeming with life and colour.
	Meru National Park Meru National Park is wild and beautiful. Straddling the equator and bisected by thirteen rivers and numerous mountain-fed streams, it is an especially beautiful area of Kenya.
	Mt Kenya - Laikipia - Mathews Range This area is an area unknown to package tourists because all the accommodation is on private land where you are treated more like a house guest than a tourist.
	Nairobi Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya, is a cosmopolitan and lively city, the largest between Johannesburg and Cairo.
	Rift Valley - Lake Victoria The second largest fresh water lake in the world, Lake Victoria geographically dominates the area with its 70,000 sq km surface. Despite its huge size, the murky lake is not that deep - only 100 metres at its deepest.
	Samburu And Shaba This area offers unique vistas of rounded, rugged hills and undulating plains.
	The Masai Mara The Masai Mara National Reserve is the most famous and most visited reserve in Kenya and offers a breathtaking and extraordinary density of animals. An impressive feature is the annual migration of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle from the plains of the Serengeti that cross the Tanzanian border and rivers to reach the Mara's lush grassland from late June.
	Tsavo National Park At just over 21,000km sq, Tsavo is the largest national park in Kenya and one of the largest in the world. Because of its size the park was split into 2, Tsavo West and Tsavo East, for easy administration.

Not to be missed in Kenya...

	Private Guiding The Pulse Africa Way PRESS RELEASE: Exclusive African safari consultants, Pulse Africa, are expanding their services to their clients, by creating a private guiding division.
	The Ponds In Africa One of the greatest things about safaris is that you never know what‘s going to happen next. Almost the first thing we saw was a huge matriarch elephant scratching her bottom on a jagged tree stump, a look of utter bliss on her face. The second, a randy young lion trying to have it off with an older female and getting a great clout across the face from a huge paw as she rejected him.
	Where the cattle sleep with one eye open...... A game viewing on horseback experience. Borana would not be the place it is today without horses. When the Dyer family first came here they were the only means of personal transport. Today, all their farms still have stables.
	The Cat's Cradle News from the world's most famous felines! Here's what has been happening to your favourite predators...
	Luxury Mobile Tented Safari Camps Of all the options available for your visit to Africa, the traditional tented safari is by far the best choice. A true tented safari is a completely mobile and self-contained expedition, with the equipment and crew moving to a new wilderness area every few days.
	Alfajiri - "The Private Villa" Seven miles of uncrowded golden sands & a clean, clear safe sea - Move into one of the spacious private, fully staffed villas with friends or the family.
	In Tradition Of Arab Sailors Sleep under the stars on Tusitiri, a 20m jahazi (dhow), and sail around the Lamu archipelago, while exploring deserted beaches & island hideaways.
	Nairobi "Green City In The Sun" Visit the Daphne Sheldrick elephant and rhino sanctuary, or... feast at The Carnivore - a barbeque-style restaurant, which serves a wide variety of mouth-watering meat dishes.
