Programme Extension Options.
We want you to have the perfect programme. You can design your
own choosing components from our suggested programmes and adding
any of the following extensions.
The Coast
Lamu Island and Kiwayu
Lamu is Kenya’s oldest living town
with an almost exclusively Muslim population. The island is a gateway
to the numerous smaller islands further north towards the Somali
border. Kiwayu is an untouched Marine Park to the north of Lamu
where simple accommodation on the beach gives access to the park,
pristine coral and fish life and turtle nesting sites. A great
base for Sea kayaking adventures
Shimba Hills National Park and Mwalaganje Elephant Sanctuary
Situated
in the hills behind Galu Beach and one hours drive from Mukurumuji
Conservation Centre these hills are covered in magnificent forest.
Shimba Hills is the only place you can view the extremely rare
Sable Antelope, a tall animal with beautifully curved horns on
both male and female. Mwalaganje ensures close up encounters with
enormous African Bull Elephants.
The Great Rift Valley
Aberdare Ranges
A park that is seldom visited by the tourist
crowd, but one of the most beautiful places in Kenya. The park
encloses
moorland, with peaks up to 4000 metres, clear streams abounding
with trout, 300 metre waterfalls, and the lower salient forest
full of elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo, bushbuck and other
game. Walks into the moorlands and fishing excursions can be organised.
Lake Bogoria
North of Nakuru lies Lake Bogoria, a shallow soda
lake home to thousands of Flamingos and over 200 species of other
birds. There is also the rare Klipspringer and Greater Kudu to
see. A main attraction are the hot springs and geysers that erupt
continually at the lake shore.
Laikipia/ Northern Kenya
Tassia Lodge on Lekurruki Community Group Ranch Spoil yourself
in a rustic lodge that looks over the Northern Frontier District
towards Samburu, Shaba, and the sacred Lolokwe Mountain. Tassia
sprawls gently over a rocky bluff, and overlooks a valley where
Loimugo trees grow, a favourite food for the elephants that visit
the area. The forests are full of butterflies, birds and rare
plants; walks up the river are challenging and exciting and after
the rains the lugga flows and the waterfalls and pools make great
wallowing!
Camel Trek
An explorer’s paradise hardly untouched by the
20th century. We trek through amazing scenery with the chance to
see large game up close. The Samburu and Boran tribes, whose land
we pass through, are fascinating people, preferring their own centuries
old traditional lifestyles and customs to those of the modern world.
Other Extensions
Maasai Mara Game Reserve
The Mara is one of Kenya’s most
popular game parks and with good reason. For here you will find
an amazing array of wildlife that flows over into the Serengeti
Plains. The Mara is dominated by open grassland dotted with the
distinctive flat-topped acacia trees and is home to the annual
wildebeest migration.
Tsavo NationaL Park
20000 sq km in size, Tsavo is the largest
National Park in Kenya split into Tsavo West and Tsavo East.
Home to over
9000 elephants and innumerable other game, Tsavo is a delight to
visit. Staying at the old wardens house with views to Mt. Kilimanjaro
in the distance, elephants and other game visit the waterhole within
metres of your veranda.
Nairobi - Mombasa Train A popular overnight way to travel to the
coast experiencing the old world charm that Kenya Railways offers.
It seems that nothing has changed in the last fifty years as the
train slowly winds through farmland before entering the expanse
of the Tsavo ecosystem. Compartments are clean and the dining cart
is something out of the 1940’s, complete with old silver
and overhead fans.
Serengeti/Uganda/Zanzibar
