Kenya has long been known as an adventurer's paradise. This is a land of endless opportunity for the active traveller, a country rich with possibilities for adventure and discovery.
Treking Safari
For the Trekker, Kenya is a world of highs and lows - From the
snowcapped peak of Mt Kenya to the desert plains of the north. There
are a range of treks from sedate hill walks through game rich ranges to
high altitude routes on alpine slopes.
For those aiming higher, Kenya
offers plenty of challenges.
Climbers may be aware of the mighty peak of Mt Kenya, but there are
many other climbing areas to be explored. There is a broad scope of
destinations, from granite cliffs and volcanic rock towers to the
ultimate challenge- a technical assault on Africa’s second highest
summit.
Off Road Mountain Bike Safari
Kenya has some excellent potential areas for off road mountain biking.
As the popularity of the sport increases, more and more mountain bikes
are now for hire, and there is plenty of undiscovered country for bush
biking.
Horse Back Safari
Kenya is home to a very active equestrian community, and horses are a
great way to explore wilderness areas. Riding through herds of game is
an ideal way to experience the wild up close and personal.
Camel Safari
Looking for a more unusual mode of transport? The North of Kenya has a
thriving camel culture, and the camel is used by many nomadic tribes.
These deserts and wide arid plain lands have long been crossed by camel
trains, following ancient routes through deep valleys and along winding
dry river beds. Large herds of dromedary (single humped) camels are
found throughout the North.
A safari by camel is a unique way to see
this country.
Walking Safari
The trackless deserts and high ranges of the Northern frontier are
beautiful and remote places, completely isolated from the modern world. Walking through this wilderness with a camel train, camping in the wild
and sleeping under the stars, you can travel through an Africa
unchanged since the passage of the first explorers.
Big Game Fishing
Far from the northern deserts, the waters of the Indian Ocean are an
adventurers playground. The coast of Kenya has a well deserved
reputation for big game fishing and has attracted fishing devotees such
as Ernest Hemingway, drawn by the promise of world-class fishing. Local
tag and release programs ensure eco-friendly fishing.
Extreme Water Sports Safari
These waters have a long been a traditional passage for sailors and
today dhows still ply the calm waters of the coastline. The coast is an
ideal place to explore by boat, and the beaches are ideal for all kinds
of watersports. Inland, the beautiful, bird rich freshwater lakes of
the Rift Valley are also ideal for boating, waterskiing and
windsurfing.
White Water Rafting
The inland Lakes and rivers of Kenya also present plenty of opportunity
for world class fishing, from Trout to the mighty Nile Perch. White
water rafting and kayaking are relatively new sports in Kenya. However,
with extensive and spectacular river systems, good grade white water
and wide freshwater lakes, the possibilities are boundless.
Come to Kenya and begin your own great adventure story.
