Experience Kenya Our favourite things to see and do David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust – Visiting this orphanage is a great day out, and a lot can be learnt from those who have dedicated their lives to nurture and revive the African wildlife in any way possible. With an ongoing threat of elephant and rhino poaching in Africa, the inspiration to help this Trust reach their goal is becoming more important. Anyone in the world can now foster an elephant at the Trust for a small annual cost, helping to rehabilitate these precious creatures back into their natural habitat. Doors are open for only one hour a day, so be sure to book before you arrive. Amboseli National Park – At 392 sq km, Amboseli is full of elephant in huge herds. One of the highlights is seeing them cross the grassy plains with Tanzania’s Mt Kilimanjaro sitting proudly in the background. You can see a large variety of wildlife here. Most visitors approach Amboseli through Namanga, the main border post between Kenya and Tanzania. Masai village visit – There is no better way to learn about culture of the locals than to spend quality time with them, in their homestead. Get to know their culture and customs on a visit to the traditional Maasai village, the local primary school or the busy market day. Experience how the Masai people live in the middle of the bush with zebra grazing and lions roaring just outside their homes. For many, special memories of a Masai visit will last the rest of a lifetime. Kenyan Beaches – Kenyan beaches make an excellent ending to any Kenya safari. Pick a beach anywhere north of Mombasa and you can expect brilliant blue seas lapping against fine white sands. The coast is lined with coral reefs, making for excellent snorkelling, diving and watersports. Pemba Island is a hotspot for big game fishing, so be prepared to reel in a Marlin!
