An African Safari Vacation must include Kenya. A Kenyan Safari should if possible include a few days in Amboseli Game Reserve, and one of the best places to stay is the Amboseli Porini Camp.

 

This part of your Arican Safari Vacation at Amboseli Porini Camp will in fact be spent in the Selenkay Conservation Area which is a fifteen thousand acre private game reserve just above the northern boundary of Amboseli National Park.

Selenkay is owned by Maasai people, and is an important dispersal area for wildlife as it moves in and out of Amboseli, and so there is much more and different game to be seen here than in Amboseli itself.

 

To have an idea of what it was like to take an African Safari Vacation back in the 1920’s you need to firstly stay in a proper camp. What that means is tents in the bush with no fences, and very few guests as opposed to a fenced in lodge overlooking a water hole as happens too often.

Amboseli Porini Camp fulfils this objective and more, consisting of just ...........

A Kenya safari should include stays at lodges and tented camps, and one place you should consider is Ol Kanjau Tented Camp adjacent to Amboseli National Park.

 

Ol Kanjau is very close to Mount Kilimanjaro and around this area in Amboseli National Park are a growing number of elephant, so much so there are now 52 known matriarchal families  and over 1000 elephants.

 

To reach Ol Kanjau you can fly in to Amboseli by schedule flights every day, or by private charter to Lilimanjaro Buffalo Airstrip. It is a four hour drive from Nairobi or two hours from the Tanzanian border.

A Kenya safari isn’t just about seeing game it should also be about ........

A Honeymoon in Kenya, sounds like, and would be like a dream come true. Where do you go, and where do you stay when you are looking to take a luxury safari African vacation in Kenya?  This is the key question, and at least part of the answer could well lie in choosing Amboseli National Park as a favourite place to get photographs of elephants against a backdrop of the snow capped Mount Kilimanjaro. Amboseli is easily reached from Nairobi and one of the best, if not the best place to stay is the Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge.

 

Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge is situated in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, next to a spring and beside giant Acacia trees, with stunning views of the mountain, and surrounded by the kind of big game that makes the lodge such a great place to go for a honeymoon in Kenya.

 

You will almost certainly see as well as the elephants................

A Kenya Safari Holiday is made complete not only by the wildlife seen but also the quality of the camps and lodges you choose. Tortilis Camp in Amboseli National Park is a Camp that you will love.
Situated under a thicket of umbrella shaped trees, and dominated by Mt. Kilimanjaro, there are only 17 very spacious tents, each with en-suite facilities, and a raised veranda, with tents 1 and 2 in particular having incredible views of Kilimanjaro 

Your Kenya Safari Holiday could well start a Amboseli, not only because Amboseli National Park is only an hour by air from Nairobi, but also because the wildlife viewing is top class all the year round, and the views of Mt. Kilimanjaro in the background are truly spectacular.

As a park Amboseli is comparatively small, being less than 400 sq km, but it does boast over 50 of the lrger species of mammal, and over 400 species of birds.
It is also the home of the Maasai people, tall proud and brave, and nomadic, so there is evidence of their abandoned villages because they move wherever, and whenver the cattle grazing is used up. The cattle's damage to the grassland, added to the sheer numbers of animals along with the popularity of Amboseli, the huge number of tourists, their four wheel drive vehicle damage, has meant a restriction in where vehicles can go. 
Havingsaid all of that Amboseli is a great place to start your Kenya Safari Holiday because.......
