African Lion safari Kenya.
The lion is still one of the top animals that people on a Kenya wildlife safari see. These predators and rather powerful creatures are found mainly in Masai Mara reserve where there is more food for them, ranging from the wildebeests to zebras and gazelles. There are many prides of lions within Masai Mara National Park only. In the animal world,the lions seem to draw the most attention. The most famous of this class is the lion. The largest of the cat family or mammal felines in Africa, they spend much of their time resting in the tree shades. If pride goes out to feed at dusk or dawn, it is mainly women who do everything from hunting, but sometimes lead men to women experiencing hidden then do the actual killing. women live in herds on the Savannah of the men of 2:59 ET until 15 may look like docile cats lions sunbathing. Especially young children who find great joy in listening to their mothers who take their well-deserved sleep after a night of hunting.

You will find only 2 species of the Rhino in Kenya, that is a white rhinos and black. Both are threatened to extinct. A White Rhino is the name from the Dutch word meaning wide Weid. white rhino has a wide, wide mouth adapted for grazing. Often hang in large groups. The largest population of white rhinos in Kenya is located in Lake Nakuru National Park. black rhino is found to adapt the navigation upper lip. It feeds on a bush dry and difficult to wash, especially acacia. Rhinos blacks has a keen sense of smell and hearing, sight, but very poor. They lead a solitary life and is more dangerous for both species. Masai Mara National Reserve is the largest population of blacks rhinos, along with many other animals in Kenya.

The leopard gracefully leads a solitary life except during mating season. The beauty of dark spots against the fundamental contradiction of rich gold the power of these cats can mobilize, if necessary, and it is actually very difficult to find. In general, the animals at night, the best place to find them in the rocky hills, tall branches or brush in the thick forest. Agile as a common cat, they drag their kills to the top of a tree where they can be sure that nobody can find the treasure and disrupt their dinner. They are the only big cats do.

The last member of the Big Five is the African elephant. The African elephant is larger than the Asian elephant, and has large ears. Just like the rhinoceros, it is unfortunately hunted for its tusks, it is a protected species. East Africa is one of the few areas where the elephant is booming and the numbers are rising. They are very abundant in some parks, like Shimba Hills Reserve and Amboseli National Park. Travel in herds of elephants and can be very destructive to vegetation and landscape, when their population becomes too high. In Kenya, elephants live in grasslands or savanna forest, either.

Notes:

- Lake Rutundu Log Cabins: The Lake Rutundu Log Cabins are situated in a remarkable setting on Mount Kenya. This is an unusual opportunity of fly fishing for rainbow trout at a height of 10,000 ft. The cabins are built in the original style of log cabins with moss filling the gaps between the logs and bitumen on the roof. Sheepskin rugs and open fires ensure a cosy warm atmosphere at night. Two cabins sleep four people comfortably but there is room for more. Hot water is heated in kuni (wood) boosters using old heather roots for fuel.

- Fishing: The main attraction of Lake Rutundu is the fact that is privately stocked with rainbow trout. The staff at the Cabins are also trained gillies and using barbless hooks and a rowing boat, many hours can be spent trying your luck in perfect tranquil conditions. No previous fishing experience is necessary and in fact many visitors come purely to enjoy the unique mountain scenery. Extraordinary walks and additional fishing on the stunning Lake Alice at 12,200 feet make this trip a worthwhile and memorable experience.

- Lake Baringo: In Kenya’s Great Rift Valley is a freshwater lake approximately 22 km long, by 11 kms wide, with an area of 168 sq kms. It is situated at an altitude of 1100 meters but is surrounded by mountains rising to almost 300 meters above the ambient ground level in places. At the northern end of the Lake lies the dormant volcano, Karosi, 1449 meters high.

The water of Lake Baringo is fresh unlike those other Great Rift Valley lakes of Bogoria, Elementeita, Nakuru and Magadi which are “soda lakes.” Although it is not known where the water flows out of Lake Baringo, it is reasoned that it must do so as otherwise the water would be subject to a continual process of evaporation, and the Lake would become soda. It may well do so from a submerged crevasse at its northern end, emerging 100 ks north at Karpedda.

As a freshwater Lake it is home to hippos, crocodiles and an abundance of fish and birds, but it does not have flamingos, as these feed on the algae specific to soda lakes. Despite this, it is most famous as an ornithologist’s paradise, with 500 bird species, many of which are extremely rare or otherwise only seen in this area.

The climate is warm (25 to 35 degrees) all year round, day and night. While a welcome breeze blows off the Lake in the evenings, the sensation of coldness is practically unknown here. The annual average rainfall is 640 mm, a large proportion of which falls in May-July and a lesser amount in November-December. The people in the vicinity of the Lake are the Tugen and the Il Chamus (or Njempse) with the Pokot living slightly further north, and visiting the area to graze cattle or trade. A few Turkana have migrated to the area. There is very little cultivation owing to the long hot dry season, followed by the habitually violent rains in May, and most inhabitants survive on the grazing of goats, sheep and cattle supplemented by fishing Catfish and Tilapia and harvesting of wild fruits and berries.

Horseback Riding Events in Kenya Our horseback riding safaris in Kenya are without a doubt the most exciting and adventuresome of all the Taste of Africa Tours & Safaris rides. Strong riders, confident at all paces on broken terrain riding athletic horses will be in their element here. The opportunity to see big game and interact with wild animals on splendid horses is thrilling. Sometimes in the Masai Mara huge herds of wildebeest and zebra extend as far as the eye can reach. The opportunity to see picturesque native tribesmen whose culture is dramatically different from ours in remote areas unspoiled by frequent tourist visits is fascinating. The Laikipia rides around the snow capped peak of Mt. Kenya traverses several large ranches (up to 100,000 acres) which were carved out of the wilderness a century ago by white settlers. There are many similarities to the cattle ranches of the Rocky Mountain West. The wild game has been well preserved on these huge ranches although there are sometimes difficult interactions between game and cattle. See our programs…

Men and Women Football & Volley Ball Sports in Kenya Football is a renowned sport worldwide. Currently, women football tournaments are gaining ground as the most exiting and thrilling in the tourism industry. Taste of Africa Tours & Safaris takes tourists to both events and also organizes village or rural football events by engaging the youth to keep them busy so as not to other irrelevant activities which would be detrimental to their health and well being e.g. HIV AIDS. We also organize HIV awareness football tournaments which make the youth in the rural areas/ villages aware of the epidemic.

Adventure safari.
For long, Kenya has been known as a supreme bliss for an adventure. This is a land of continuous chances for the traveller who is active, a nation rich with possibilities for adventure and exploration.

For the mover, Kenya is a land of both highs and lows- right from the snow capped peak of Kenya mountain to the desert plains of the north. There are a series of treks from sedate hill walks across game rich ranges to routes of high heights above sea level on alpine slopes.

For those aiming higher, Kenya provides a lot of challenges. Mountaineers might be aware of the great summit of Kenya mountain, however, there are several other climbing regions to be discovered. There is a wide range of destinations, from granite cliffs and volcanic rock towers to the ultimate challenge-a technical attack on Africa’s second highest peak.

Kenya has some wonderful potential regions for off road mountain biking. As the sport’s popularity increases, more and more mountain bikes are now for hire, and there is a big part of the country for bush biking, which is not yet explored.

Kenya is a habitat, a community that is very skilled on horse-riding, and horses are a great way to move into wilderness regions. Riding through groups of game is a perfect way to experience the wild up close and personal.

If you are looking out for a more rare type of transport, the North of Kenya has
a flourishing camel culture, and the camel is used by several nomadic tribes.

The deserts and wide arid plain lands have for long been traversed by camel trains, following ancient paths through deep valleys and along winding dry riverbeds.
Big groups of light, fleet camels (single humped), are found all over the north. An expedition by camel is a unique way to view this country. The trackless deserts and high ranges of the northern frontier are wonderful and remote areas, totally isolated from the modern world. Walking passed this wilderness with a camel train, camping in the wild and sleeping under the stars, you can move through an Africa that is not changed from the time the first explorers passed.

The Indian Ocean waters are an adventurers playground far from the northern deserts The coast of Kenya has a well-deserved reputation for big game fishing and has drawn those devoted to fishing, for example Ernest Hemingway, attracted by the promise of world class fishing. Local tag and release programs secure eco-friendly fishing.

These waters have all along been a traditional passage for sailors and today, dhow continue to use the quiet waters of the coastline. The coast is a perfect place to explore by boat, and the beaches are good for all types of water sports.

The inland lakes and rivers of Kenya also provide a lot of chances fro world class fishing, from Trout to the great Nile perch.

White water rafting and Kayaking are somehow new sports in Kenya. But with extensive and spectacular river systems, grade white water and wide fresh water lakes, the dances are not limited.

Come to Kenya and start your own great adventure story.

A Kenya adventure safari draws you to an exciting land of wildlife adventure, water sports adventure, tribal tours and mountain climbing.

Let Kenya take you into its mystic depth and make you comfortable and develop interests in the adventure. Set out on an adventure moving tour deep into the dense Arabuko Sokoke forest; find winding adventure marks left behind in Sudi Island and tour the attractive and pleasing ruins of Gedi on your Kenya adventure safari with Kenya wildlife.

The Bicken snake farm in Watamu provides you with a spine curding adventure as you sight colourfully patterned Kenya snakes, which are long and short, thick and thin, the perfect adventure safari that offers you a chance of observing the rich reptile population of Kenya, Africa.

Ride a horse very fast along the sandy beaches and feel the cool Kenya air as you see the wondrous natural beautiful views that sail past you, enjoy boating trips and glass bottom boat rides, view the delightfully vibrant underwater world, go scuba diving and set out on the most exciting snorkeling trip of your life on your Kenya adventure safari with Kenya safari.
