East Africa is filled to the brim with natural beauty. Kenya, with its numerous national parks and wild life reserves has a wealth of flora and fauna. Nairobi National Park placed quite near the city of Nairobi is renowned for its large wildlife population within its comparatively small boundaries, and is one of the most successful sanctuaries for rhinoceros. Another park is the Samburu National Reserve, which encourages wilderness due to the presence of the Uaso Nyiro River that runs right through it. It isn’t surprising then that wild cats like the lion, cheetah and leopard thrive here, as do animals like buffaloes, hippopotamuses – and one can never forget those gentle giants – elephants. Visitors must beware though, as there are also crocodiles in the Uaso Nyiro River. Some of the best Kenya tours offer visits to excellent coastal reefs and beaches for you to indulge yourself in. Malindi, the second largest coastal town in Kenya, is but one example of this. A hotbed of water sports, this is a great place to try out surfing, snorkelling and even deep sea fishing. For those not up for snorkelling, marine parks in Malindi also allow you to watch the colourful fishes or corals through a glass floored boat. Malindi also has a falconry, where you can glean insight into the world of majestic birds of prey. If you are lucky, you may catch a glimpse of the southern banded snake eagle, a species that is now under serious threat due to their habitat being destroyed. Mount Kenya, the highest point in Kenya and second only to Kilimanjaro in all of Africa, is a sight to be seen. For the avid sportsman there are several peaks to climb. But if great heights are not your thing, head over to the shallow Lake Nakuru and enjoy the sight of millions of flamingos instead. Kenya tours provide travellers with a wealth of natural beauty and excitement to revel in. For this reason, a destination like Kenya should definitely be considered when looking at international tour packages! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
