NAIROBI CITY TOURS:
Founded at the turn of the century, Nairobi has grown from small railroad town to a large cosmopolitan city with a population approaching two million. Much is to be seen around the capital.

The Nairobi Museum has numerous exhibits of the late Dr. Leakey's great finds, a collection of original artifacts from Kenyan tribes and a superb collection of mounted birds. Adjacent to the Museum is the Snake Park and the Aviary.

The Railway Museum is a must for visitors interested in the country's history as well as National Assembly (Parliament), Branch at the Jamia mosque and also view the Macmillan Memorial library. You could also visit the view point at the Uhuru Park.

To conclude the tour, you branch at the Municipal City Market where you can purchase a couple of beautiful souvenirs.

KAREN BLIXEN:
The Karen Blixen Museum was originally the home of Karen Blixen, who came to Kenya from Denmark in the early part of the 19th century; the present museum site is at the heart of the larger coffee plantation run by Blixen between 1914 and 1931. The house and surrounding land was donated by the Danish government to Kenya at independence; the house was restored by the Danish government and was used during the filming of Out of Africa, which immortalized Karen Blixen's book by the same name.

Much of the original furniture is on display in the house, and combined with the beautifully landscaped gardens and encompassing view of the Ngong Hills, the Museum has continued to be very popular destination for international and local visitors.

The original kitchen has been restored and is now open for viewing. A Dove Stove similar to the one used by Blixen is on display, as are other period kitchen utensils.

Carnivore is famous for its succulent steaks and barbecued dishes as an excellent compliment to a holiday in Kenya, especially as a welcome or farewell dinner.

In the style of a Brazilian churrasceria, 6 km from the city centre, the carnivore restaurant is a popular spot for meat lovers. Joints of lamb, beef, pork and venison are roasted on an open spit and curved from spears at your table.

BOMAS OF KENYA:
Typically, this is a cultural tour that exposes you to Kenya's 16 major tribes i.e. Kikuyu, Luo, Kamba, etc. ’Bomas’ is linguistically used to refer to villages and is hence a Kiswahili word.

The tour departs at 14:00 hrs till 17:00 hrs.

NAIROBI NATIONAL PARK:
Nairobi, as a capital city, is unique in having a wildlife park on its doorstep. It is possible to photograph a rhino, browsing peacefully amongst the whistling thorn with high rise buildings in the background !

Some of the wildlife is migratory and when there is grazing and water outside the park it moves out into Maasai-Land through the unfenced southern boundary. But there is also a resident population of plains game and carnivores so a visit at any time of the year is rewarding.

The tour departs at 14:00 hrs till 18:00 hrs.

AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK:

BACKGROUND INFORMATION.
Amboseli National Park lies immediately North West of Mt. Kilimanjaro, on the border with Tanzania. Amboseli was established as a reserve in 1968 and gazette as a National Park in 1974. The Park covers 392 km2, and forms part of the much larger 3,000 Km2 Amboseli ecosystem. Large concentrations of wildlife occur here in the dry season, making Amboseli a popular tourist destination. It is surrounded by 6 communally owned group ranches. The National Park embodies 5 main wildlife habitats (open plains, acacia woodland, rocky thorn bush country, swamps and marshland) and covers part of a Pleistocene lake basin, now dry.

Within this basin is a temporary lake, Lake Amboseli, that floods during years of heavy rainfall. Amboseli is famous for its big game and its great scenic beauty - the landscape is dominated by MT Kilimanjaro.

LOCATION:
On the border with Tanzania, Kajiado District, South Kenya; Covers 392km2

CLIMATE:
The climate is mainly hot and dry. Amboseli is in the rain shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The maximum average temperature of the warmest month is 33°C during the day, while that of the coldest is 27-28°C. An annual rainfall of 300mm per annum is distributed in two seasons: April/May and November/December. Recurrent droughts and potential evaporation of 2200mm per annum typifies the region (KWS, 1991).

MAJOR ATTRACTIONS:
View Mt. Kilimanjaro
View Mt. Meru
Observation Hill which allows an overall view of the whole park especially the swamps and elephants, Contemporary Maasai culture and indigenous lifestyle

WILDLIFE:
Reptiles
Python, Turtles, Tortoise, Black Mamba, Cobra.
Insects/arthropods, Scorpions, Butterflies, Dragon flies, May flies, Grasshopper.

COMMON VEGETATION:
The national park embodies several types of semi-arid vegetation and swampland/marshland. In general there is a gradient of vegetation from the bare lake bed, through grassland to Acacia woodland following a North -North West to South - South East pattern sandwiching the permanent swamps.
Water flowing underground from Mt. Kilimanjaro up wells in a series of lush swamps and marshland which support sedges of Cyprus spp., including Cyprus papyrus and that provide dry season water and forage for wildlife.
These swamps are flanked by tracts of acacia woodland with yellow-barked acacia, Acacia xanthophyllous and Acacia tortillas. Acacia tortillas also occurs in the southern part of the park along on drainage lines.
The basin is surrounded by acacia/commiphora bush land while the level floor of open plains with saline/alkaline soils supports thickets of Salvadoran persica and Suaeda monoica. Grasses include needlegrass Aristida, fingergrass Digitaria, dropseed Sporobolus sp., stargrass Cynodon dactylon, and Phragmites Mauritian us. Balanites aegyptiaca is important as a source of edible fruits, while the pods of Acacia tortillas are eaten by livestock.
There has been a tremendous loss of woody vegetation that has been attributed to various factors including the rise of water table, increase in salinity, off road driving by tour vehicles and destruction of vegetation by elephants.

The verdant reverie forest is a stark contrast to the arid thorn studded plains. Samburu is visited by large herds of Elephants, drawn by the promise of water. In the dry season, the elephants use their tusks to dig deep into the dry river beds, unearthing precious water. These waterholes then become a focal point for other game.

The Samburu region is the best place to find several endemic Northern species, including Gerenuk, the Reticulated Giraffe, and Grevys Zebra. Lions are also frequently seen on the riverbanks, and Cheetah can be found on the open plains. On rare occasion, packs of African Hunting Dogs are sighted passing through the reserve. The entire Samburu region is a place of breathtaking and magical beauty, a place where the vision of a deep red sunset silhouetting the doum palms along the river as a leopard emerges to hunt brings the perfect end to a day on safari.

Nestled between Mt. Kenya to the east and the Aberdares Mountains to the west, Sweetwater’s Game Reserve is a privately held reserve covering some 24,000 acres. You stay in tents adjacent to a waterhole, which provides for a constant procession of animals taking their turn at the precious resource.

The reserve boasts a plethora of wildlife - over 400 species of birds, lion, elephant, rhino and cheetah to name just a few. Moran, a black rhino, was rescued as a baby after he was found wandering near his mother who had been killed by poachers in Amboseli National Park. After having been taken to three or four other locations where unfortunately his safety was put at risk by both the presence of poachers and attacks by other rhinos, Moran came to Sweetwater’s where he lives in his own 100-acre enclosure, protected 24-hours by armed guards.

Also at Moran’s Boma (which means "warrior" in Masai) you will find Carol, a tame warthog. Carol was brought to the Sanctuary when she was found abandoned by her mother on the Ranch, and she lives in a smaller enclosure near Moran. She often ambles around the compound, and loves to greet visitors personally.

A 200-acre Chimpanzee sanctuary has been set up at Sweetwater’s Game Reserve. A visit to this Sanctuary and the 30-minute boat ride (subject to fine weather) on the river among the chimps is a must. The aim of the project, initiated by Lonrho East Africa, Kenya Wildlife Services and the Jane Good all Institute, was to set up a colony where chimps could be introduced, rehabilitated and taught to fend for themselves in an area similar to their natural living conditions. Priority is given to orphaned and abused chimps. The Sanctuary currently has 24 chimps, including two babies born in the Sanctuary. An information centre near the chimps' enclosure gives you amazing insight into the chimpanzees - did you know that they have 98.6% of our genes? After walking through the vast information and chimp paraphernalia you leave the center with the feeling that you must do something to stop this tragic "chimp trade".
