Kenya Animal Tour

Kenya wildlife is found in the most natural parks you will find in Africa. The Kenya wildlife is mostly found within the boundaries of national parks and reserves. These are wilderness araeas that have been set aside for the purposes of wildlife conservation. Each of these kenya national animal parks has its own characteristic and kenya travellers are better off sampling each and every park on its own.

The parks range from the snow –capped mountains to the low savannah grasslands; from the scenic knuckle shaped ranges of the aberdares national park to the rough arid national parks of samburu, shaba and buffalo springs;from the undulating picturesque landscape of the rift valley to the central green and lush central kenya highlands;from the white powdery sandy beaches with turquoise colored water to the inland blue-green crater lakes.

The kenya tour wildlife found in these parks is equally diverse as the vegetation and landscape in these Africa kenya national parks. The Kenya mountain parks host a unique array of wildlife including the rare giant forest hog, the extremely rare, shy and endangered bongo, the magnificent and rare black coated mountain leopard, the african lynx, the smaller mountain elephant,the african lion, duikers among many others.

Kenya north parks are famous for their rather different animals some of which are among the most endangered and rare species including the rothschild giraffe, the beisa oryx and the kenya grevy’s zebra. Other animals in north kenya tour parks include the african lion animal, the cheetah animal, leopard, elephants, buffalo, gerenuk, water bucks, common zebra, coke’s hertebeest, birds among others.

Masai Mara Migration Tour In Kenya Africa

This article would not be complete if mention was not made of most popular Kenya national park. The Masai mara Kenya is by far the best national park/reserve. Forming only a smaller section of the vast Serengeti plains in tanzania, the masai mara is by far the most famous Kenyan national park. The kenya masai mara is located in the southern kenya tourism circuit right in the midst of the kenya masai warrior country.

The vast savannah landscape with unending vistas of grass velds supports the highest numbers of wildlife in kenya. The panoramic and usually breathtaking golden plains are home to Kenya’s most wide variety of plains game, predators, amphibians and reptiles. One of the masai mara wildlife best advantage is the ease at which seeing the wildlife affords. It matters little the gate that you access the masai mara national reserve through. The mara wildlife starts right at the entrance all the way to your lodge.

I must say the number of african lions you see will leave you satiated and full of glee. It is only in the masai mara that a herd of elephants will graze 1 foot away from your tour van window, a pride of lion will lie beside your vehicle for that welcome shade and a female cheetah will mount on your car’s bonnet or roof for the vantage view of prey or even better an african lion’s kill of a zebra happening right next to your vehicle. The perfect kenya animal tour climax and Kenya photographic tour closure.

By far, the most spectacular of all masai mara kenya tour attractions remains the mammoth wildebeest migration through plains and rivers in the masai mara. Driven by the sheer will to get to fresher grass fields and the annual difference of rains cycle in the masai mara and the serengeti plains, the wildebeest cover over 1000km of wilderness in a non-defined circle to reach the fresh grass. The masai mara wildebeest migrate accompanied by an army of zebras and other plains game. The kenya migration tour in masai mara is such a huge phenomenon that satellites in space pick it up as a real time moving mass of black shade on the screen.

The wildebeest migration tour in masai mara involves over 1.5 million gnus accompanied by atleast a quarter of a million zebras. Since food is moving, the predators, including the awesome african lion accompany the blue wildebeest across valleys, velds and rivers as they eat the weak and lost in the africa’s grandest wildlife march. Nothing is as breathtaking as observing the wildbeest rivercrossings in the masai mara. Accumilating in their thousands on the first masai mara river bank, hesitant of taking the first leap, the front line are eventually forced by the pushing rear mass of thousands of wildebeest into the river.

That first leap into the nile crocodile infested river prompts the trepidation-filled 5 feet leaps of the gnu into the river, desparate to overcome the treacherous mara river crossing to the promised land. The sheer numbers of the fearfull, leaping and kicking wildebeest catches the crocodile by surprise forcing them to give way from the stampede and guaranteed death from trampling.

The carnage of the river crossing, even without the help from crocodiles in the masai mara river result mainly from the stampede drowning and breaking the spines of others already in the river. This keeps the crocs happy for the next month or two. I gues they must be impatiently watching their calendars by now for the next annual wildbeest migration in the masai mara. So intense is the moment of a masai mara wildebeest river crossing that the splash into the water sounds like a thousand raging waterfalls. You really don’t want to miss a wildebeest masai mara river crossing !

Arranging for your kenya africa animal tour is easy with an experienced tour operator in kenya. Most of the bookings for the masai mara have to be done a year to six months in advance as the masai mara lodges tend to fill up 3 full months to the Africa Kenya migration season. So have your kenya animal tour bookings dne in advance.

Doing Your Kenya Tour Research on the Internet

Well not everyone who comes to kenya goes for the wildebeest migration tour. In most cases travellers to kenya will be driven by a variety of motivations and in need to see a diverse array of attractions. As mentioned ealier, there are a plethora of Kenya africa attractions to keep you busy for a month or more, pocket size allowing.

The most challenging job is in finding a suitable safari ltd website in kenya that offers the exact match to what you are looking for in a kenyan tour. The trick lies in knowing exactly the kind of kenya tour you are interested in and then searching the same for a variety of results. Below I have included the possible kenya tour areas of interest that will make your online research easier as can be. Remember that disgretion on the information and the type of tour outfitter you choose is the most important step in planning your african animal tour.

Visit Kruger National Park South Africa And Stay At Royal Malewane

April 15, 2009 by admin  
Filed under Hotels




The Kruger National Park South Africa has long been the place to visit on a South Africa Safari Vacation. Then there is only one place to stay, and that is the Royal Malewane when you are on a South Africa Game Safari.

Yet having said that Game Drives are not the only reason to come here.

Royal Malewane will give you a range of activities from game drives to bush walks, spa treatments, and wonderful new gymnasium, and game watching from the verandah or the swimming pool. This is a real haven of peace and quiet whilst being completely surrounded by the African Bush. This is why people who value their privacy come here.

Seclusion is the best word to describe the suites at the Royal Malewane. They are simply enormous with canopied King size beds, window sized Victorian baths, and indoor and outdoor showers, with views to die for from the suites. In addition they are air conditioned, and yet have a fireplace. There are six one bedroomed suites, and the two bedroomed Royal and Malewane Suites with their own personal butlers. Each suite is unforgettably old colonial Africa in concept.

To sit on your veranda and watch the splendors of Africa unfold in front of you is bewitching, because the fact that all the suites are raised up on stilts gives you the elevation to improve your view no end. The plunge pool of the suite might even be used by passing elephants to sneak a drink from it is that close up and personal.

Elevated walkways link the suites to the main lodge continues the old colonial theme in its furnishings, and even dining is in keeping with the best china silver and crystal.

The service is exceptional, and the food is exceptional, with a great wine list It is extraordinary the first time you look up from the dinner table in the middle of a sumptuous feast to see a group of elephants walking by..

Royal Malewane is at once luxury, and then unforgettable, and thirdly almost without fault. Places don’t come much better than this, with a maximum of sixteen guests in the Thornybush Game Reserve area right next to the Kruger National Park. This is the home to lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino amongst others, and to over 250 recorded birs species. This will give you one of the best game viewing experiences in South Africa if not all of Africa.

The Kruger National Park South Africa has many quality lodges but nothing like Royal Malewane which somehow manages to combine colonial splendour with the quality of hospitality and facilities associated with the best traditions of the 21st Century.

Of course you take a South Africa Game Safari to see game, and you will find that the staff do all in their power to ensure you see what you want to see, with great rangers and trackers to ensure this happens, and their enthusiasm and knowledge is huge.

The Royal Malewane has to be seen to be believed. It really is the place to stay for the Kruger National Park, and it will give you a totally memorable South Africa Game Safari Vacation.

Katikies Hotel Santorini

April 10, 2009 by admin  
Filed under Hotels




I would like to share here a dream of mine, which has not come true yet; it is called Katikies Hotel and is located on Santorini. When I travel, usually I do not pay attention to the accommodation, as the destination is what matters to me. Santorini Island is a unique place, which I highly recommend that everyone coming to Greece visits. And Katikies Hotel is the jewel of Santorini. Therefore I have developed some kind of obsession with this luxury hotel!

Katikies, means houses in Greek and is a word, which, unfortunately, cannot be exactly translated into English. I can just tell you that the word “katikia” provokes a feeling of warmness and cosines when you hear it – and this is also what Katikies Hotel is all about.

It was built around a decade ago in the famous village of Santorini, Oia (Ia), in a great location. The hotel is actually built on the cliff of the Santorini and has therefore magnificent view of the Aegean sea and the volcano island of Santorini. And every evening visitors can admire the famous Santorini sunset from their rooms balconies or by the pool of the hotel.

This luxury hotel is built according to the traditional Cycladic architecture, with Santorinian characteristics. The rooms & suites of Katikies Hotel look like small caves in the cliff, everything is whitewashed and connected with small stair steps. Each room of Katikies has unique minimal decoration and style and great view.

If you are waiting for a narration of my personal experience during my stay at Katikies, I will disappoint you. I have not managed to stay at Katikies yet….and nor will I be able to do that during summer 2007, as I cannot afford it. My last trip to South Africa, though great, left with less money in my bank account – but my economical status is not that interesting, so lets get back to Katikies!

As you can assume from the above, Katikies is not what you would call a “budget hotel”….it is a luxury hotel, member of the Small Luxury Hotels chain, and its rooms and suites are a bit expensive.

So, my obsession with Katikies Hotel started when I had dinner at the open air gourmet restaurant of the hotel with a friend, who was staying there, back in May 2001. The years that followed, I carefully read a lot in the internet about the hotel and planned my stay at the island. But I am a typical Greek and I decided to make a last minute reservation. The result was, that Katikies hotel had nothing available. Now I have learned the importance of early booking, and I recommend you all book your room the soonest possible, as Katikies has only 7 rooms and 15 suites!

And last but not least, I will tell you about its pool, Katikies famous infinity pool! It is very impressing, as it is constructed at the edge of the cliff.

Hi World! I am Pavlos Mirmigakos and I am here to enlighten you with all the knowledge I have gained from my traveling experience – and believe me it is a lot. This article is about my obsession, Katikies Hotel…!

To sum up ,I do not consider Katikies Hotel a 5 star luxury hotel, but a 6 stars super-luxury hotel!
