Many African safari tourists visit the East African country of Kenya. Kenya is a very popular tourist destination because it has an "out of Africa" scenic beauty. Kenya is very culturally diverse and has an abundant array of wildlife. The coastline is also very inviting as well as the tropical beaches. Wildlife is a prime attraction. Another big Kenyan attraction is its vast areas of different habitats found in large areas of beautiful dry grasslands.
During your African safari to Kenya, you will experience the spectacular heights of Mount Kenya and the rolling plains of the Serengeti where you can take a hot air balloon ride at dawn over the Masai Mara. Mount Kenya is located in the Samburu region of the country and it is actually Africa's second highest mountain.
Amboseli National Park is also located here and it's well known for its famous big game like elephants, baboons, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, even crocodiles. You can also experience the seasonal migration of millions of wildebeests. This in itself is a spectacular event.
During your African safari, visit the Ngorongoro Crater which offers a beautiful view of the lions, elephants, endangered black rhinos and zebras. Many Kenyan safari tourists visit Lake Nakuru National Park located in the Rift Valley region of the country. The lake's shores are highly populated by millions of beautiful pink flamingos. The famous ornithologist Roger Tory Peterson defined it as "the greatest bird spectacle on earth". More than 500 species of birds can be found in Lake Nakuru Park. Accommodation is available right here within the Park in beautiful tourist hotels and lodges. The personal attention and service that one receives from the staff here is exceptional. Most African Safari trips are private which means you get a vehicle and a tour guide throughout your entire trip. You also get to stay in some of Kenya's most beautiful and luxurious tourist hotels, lodges and resorts.
Pricing of the safari tour is usually according to the level and quality of the amenities and accommodation that you get. A typical Kenyan safari for example can cost you anywhere between $250 - $800 per person per day including airfares between the national parks and game reserves and also road trips. Some tours can also be tailor made according to your budget and interests.
An African safari to Kenya is very enjoyable and memorable. You also get to meet the locals who are usually the Masai people and they have the natural ability to make you feel very welcome and at home. You will hear them constantly say to you "Karibu" meaning welcome in Swahili.
An African safari is popular for a very good reason. It can be the vacation, adventure and experience of a lifetime. If you ever get a chance to go on an African safari, I highly recommend visiting Kenya and do not pass it up for anything. It is loaded with amenities, thing to do and see and you will be more than happy you visited.
Any Luxury African Safari simply has to include a visit to where Joy Adamson lived and worked with her lions and was murdered in the early 1980's. The Joy Adamson Monument is a must see, and the wildlife in the Shaba National Reserve is unforgettable.
