Kenya Holidays - The Best of the Best
Kenya holidays can be a magical experience. Corbin
and Charlotte Ball went on a safari holiday in Kenya.

Corbin says that
out of 40 trips on 5 continents their trip to Kenya "was by far the most exciting trip that we have ever taken".
They enjoyed it so much they wrote an online travel journal about it. Here is
an extract from the journal...

Kenya Holidays Safari Diary
"The
afternoon safari game drive was from 4pm to the 6:15pm dusk. This was truly
one of the most amazing events I have experienced. Four of us were in the
lodge rig: our driver -James; our extremely knowledgeable and articulate
guide, Grephaus; a 24 year old film editor from the UK named Stuart and me.
The sights were incredible - everywhere there were wild animals.
Suddenly, Stuart spotted the most beautiful cat I have seen in my life: a
solitary leopard lounging on a branch over the river. As we watched it
stretched, leapt down from the tree, and casually walked in front of us to
another branch where it stretched, yawned baring its huge fangs, and
relaxed. The coloration was fabulous - all from about 20 feet away.
About 5 minutes later,
along the same trail, overlooking some buffalo, we found a pride of about 10
lions. We first saw two adult females lying resting with about 6 cubs still
with their protective spotting coloration. A third lioness sat at a distance
facing the buffalo, seemingly trying to decide what would be the most
opportune victim to attack. Suddenly, a fourth female returned from the
direction of the buffalo. All 6 cubs leapt up and excitedly ran to her. She
would have not much to do with them and walked to the other two lionesses,
all affectionately nuzzling each other. This fourth one apparently was the
dominant female. As she lead the way, they all got up and slowly and
casually walked off following her. A male lion was not to be seen. These
majestic, powerful creatures were truly a site to see.
As the sun began to set on the savannah, with the majestic umbrella acacia
trees with canopies casting giant shadows, we headed back. A solitary male
elephant was walking along, not more than 30 feet away, crossing a shallow
riverbank." |
