KENYA
THE BIRTHPLACE OF SAFARI
Kenya
‘Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime’.
Mark Twain
Kenya is the birthplace of the modern safari, the word safari means 'journey' in Swahili. And the Masai Mara is quite simply one of the best known game reserves in Africa, and not without good reason. This is classic big game country, rich with natures most feared predators.
Other game reserves and National Parks in Kenya (over 40 in total) such as Amboseli, Samburu
and Tsavo mean that parks, reserves and private conservancies account for 10% of Kenya's surface, spanning desert, grasslands and the dense mountain forest.
