Kenya
-"menneskehetens vogge"
I Kenya er det funnet rester av mennesker som levde for to millioner år siden. Derfor mener arkeologer at landet kan sees som "menneskehetens vogge". Vil det da virke primitivt, med moskitonett og frosker som hopper rundt senga. Nei det kjennes som å være hjemme igjen for det var jo herfra forfedrene våre engang kom...
Som et neshorn med hjernebetennesle
Den gamle mara
uti Sahara
spiste pølse med skje.
Men negrer tvenne
de spiste henne
og pølse med.

Tired of trapsing around monument after monument and museum
after museum,
but bored lying on a beach all day?
Maybe it's time you get back to man's natural preserve...

Wildly romantic...
Besides the rather hair-raising - albeit fabulously
exciting - nature of your transportation,
another thing that invariably seems to make an impact
on visitors is the sheer size
of the landscape, which really brings panoramic photography into its element.
It is thought by zoologists
that cheetahs have wide vision to help them stake out their prey: but, there
is much to be
said for the more romantic view that they need wider eyes in order to appreciate
the staggering beauty of the unfettered
and expansive vistas.
First glimse of the big five...
Boasting Africa's "big five" - lion, leopard,
buffalo, rhino and the biggest of them all elephant.
Kenya really does give you the full host of wildlife you could ask for from
a game trip.
Best of them all though, is lion...
First ice-cream, first kiss, first love... The first time you bear witness
to an untamed
lion roaming around its natural habitat only feet away from you in all
its glorious majesty, cliche as it sounds, surely ranks amongst the list
of definitive moments in the traveller's lifetime.
It is an thrill.
An elephant never forgets...
Adults and children alike cannot fail to be seduced
by the primeval allure of being
so close to nature unheeded by physical barriers and, if you are looking to
satisfy your
cultural cravings but want to keep the kids happy at the same time, the African
bush could just be your answer.
Masai Mara Planes are where the magic really lives...
Whether it is a wildly romantic Africa adventure, a once in a lifetime family
holiday,
or simply an opportunity to get away from the vagaries of civilisation,
your experience of Kenya cannot fail to be
an unforgettable one.
