Kenya is one of the more popular destinations for this type of adventure travel and a beach holiday could be combined with an African safari. you will find 40 National Parks and game reserves in the country. My favorite and one of the most spectacular is the Kimana Game Sanctuary , which is located at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. Rain forest is the terrain at the Mount Kenya National Park and stretching plains dominate the Masai Mara. Experience guides drive parties in 4×4 vehicles or in open back trucks. They also travel in mini buses sometimes. To be able to get an aerial view of the landscape, there are fly/drive packages, using small, light aircraft. Opportunities to see leopards, gazelle, crocodiles, giraffes, zebra, lions and hippos is offered to you by Kenya.
