KENYA FAMILY TOUR:
Kenya has to be one of the most exciting destinations in the world, especially for children. The dual attractions of abundant wildlife and glorious coastline ensures plenty of stimulation. At Lake Nakuru we see vast numbers of buffalo as well as thousands of flamingos and pelicans. It also gives us our best chance of glimpsing the rare black rhino. Lake Naivasha is renowned for its birdlife and hippos. The rolling plains of the Masai Mara are reckoned to offer the best game viewing in the world. As well as abundant wildlife Kenya has a cultural side too and we take bush walks with local Masai and learn some of their bushcraft and culture.
