Kenya

A country smaller than the state of Texas, the Kenyan landscape combines the Great Rift Valley littered with alkaline lakes, 500 kilometers of coral reef fringed by the most beautiful talcum-soft white sandy beaches, tropical rainforests, snow-covered Mount Kenya on the equator line, lush agricultural fields, savanna grasslands, and the world's second largest freshwater lake.

Kenya is one of only a handful of countries in Africa having the greatest wildlife diversity in the world including all the Big Five game (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and cape buffalo). In addition, Kenya is home to the United Nations Environmental Program's world headquarters center for humanitarian relief operations and guardian to three world heritage sites which are Central Island (Lake Turkana), Sibiloi National Park / Koobi Fora (Lake Turkana), and Mount Kenya.

Kenya is currently the leading safari destination in the world. Kenya has a good network of safari lodges and African Authentic Safaris uses them for outdoor activities. Most safaris lodges in Kenya offer internationally acceptable standards of service and cuisine. They have selected the safari lodges carefully to ensure you visit the best wildlife spots. Just like in the good old days, you will travel from one safari lodge to another with the exciting daily game-viewing activities.

Maasai Mara National Reserve

The Maasai Mara National Reserve (also spelled Masai Mara and known by the locals as 'the Mara') covers 1,510 square kilometers (583 square miles) in south-western Kenya. It is the northern-most section of the Mara-Serengeti ecosystem, which covers some 25,000 square kilometers (9,700 square miles) in Tanzania and Kenya. It is bounded by the Serengeti National Park to the south, the Siria escarpment to the west, and Maasai pastoral ranches to the north, east, and west. Rainfall in the ecosystem increases markedly along a southeast-northwest gradient, varies in space and time.

In Kenya, standards of hygiene in hotels and lodges are high. Salads are safe at international hotels and lodges and fruits you can peel are the safest to eat. Tap water in Nairobi is safe to drink as it has been purified and filtered. Ice too is safe in Nairobi.

However, if you are outside of Nairobi, please purchase mineral water or use filtered water found in carriers in most hotels and lodges. The local Kenyan beer is an ideal thirst quencher too.

On the third day, you can opt for an early morning balloon ride with champagne-style breakfast at an additional cost.
