| Going on holiday is always an exciting as well as nerve wracking experience, especially if it’s a holiday as great as an African safari adventure. However, to put you potential safari goers at ease, I have put together some tips, useful information and answers to your probable questions to ensure you feel that bit more confident about your holiday. Is it difficult to get to Kenya? No, there are plenty of connecting flights to Kenya from Europe, Asia, Australia and America. Do you need a visa to enter Kenya? Yes, visas will cost you $25 for a single entry, $50 for multiple entries. People under the age of 16 will not require a visa. Do I have to pay to enter National Parks? Yes, the fees tend to range from $20-$60 per adult, $10-$30 for children and $10-$20 for students. What type of animals can I see whilst on safari in Kenya’s National Parks? Kenya is one of the few places in the world where you can see the ‘Big Five’, consisting of the Masai Lion, Cape buffalo, elephant, leopard and black rhino. However, there are many other types of animals in Kenya that I would hate to limit myself to only mentioning the big five, so here’s a few more that can be spotted in various wildlife reserves: Grevy’s and Plains zebra, Masai and Rothschild’s giraffe, warthog, crocodile and Beisa oryx. The national bird of the country is the lilac-breasted roller, however Kenya is also home to many other varieties of birds including Malachite and Pied kingfisher, Masai and Somali ostrich, fish eagle, secretary bird, spoonbill and Marabou stork. What kind of scenery can I expect to see in Kenya? The scenery in Kenya is out of this world! From the snow-capped peaks of Kilimanjaro, to the never ending view of the Great Rift Valley, to the beauty of Lake Victoria. |
