Natural Wonders Abound

Located along the equator on the eastern coast of Africa, Kenya’s motto of “Magical Kenya” implies something extra special and that’s exactly what you get. Kenya offers a diverse topographical landscape that encompasses dessert lands, savannahs, snowcapped mountains, lakes, valleys, volcanoes and white sandy beaches along its coast on the Indian Ocean with incredible activities suited to each. Although the capital city of Nairobi is as modern as they come, much of the culture of Kenya has remained timeless and unscathed by the fast past world of contemporary society. Being an African country one can’t help but think safari and Kenya offers all kinds. From, wildlife and big game, eco and marine, cultural, bird and even golf you will surely find that the activity of eating becomes a culinary safari all its own. There is such an abundance of natural fresh produce and cultural diversity that make the cuisine of this nation an adventure all its own.

Destination Must-See's

Karen Blixen Home (Out of Africa):

Karen Blixen is the author of the world renowned book Out of Africa. She left her home a long time ago, but it’s still there, preserved as a museum and open to visitors daily. See the place where the book happened and imagine what it was like to be Karen Blixen in her lovely farmhouse.

Lake Nakuru:

This lake has a wide variety of habitats and ecological diversity. The flamingo is a popular bird to see in the lake as well as other water birds. There are 56 different species and about 550 plant species. It also features a beautiful waterfall. There’s a lot to take in here!

Numerous game drives take you out to catch a glimpse of the “big 5” (lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards and rhinos). Kenya is a great place to be for spotting these magnificent animals, as large numbers of them call the region home. How many of each can you spot?

Aberdare National Park:

This is an ecologically diverse area with lush valleys and high peaks that reach up to 14,000 feet. It’s also home to some of Africa’s most exotic wildlife including two species only found north of the equator. Bring your binoculars and your camera. You won’t want to miss a thing!

Destination Must-Do's

Life among this tribe of semi-nomadic pastoralists revolves around their cows, sheep, goats, and camels. Dressed in traditional red clothing, they are great cultural ambassadors who welcome tourists to participate in traditional ceremonies, food and dances. Pay them a visit and don’t forget to purchase a handcrafted souvenir to remember them by.

Masai Mara:

This is the most popular reserve in all of Africa because there’s a lot to love about it. It has open savannas, big skies, wildebeest migrations, game, and a variety of birdlife to enjoy. The reserve is also the place where the film Out of Africa was shot, and home to the Masai people.

Giraffe Sanctuary:

Get up close and personal to feed the endangered Rothschild giraffes from a raised platform at the Giraffe Sanctuary. You’ll fall madly in love with these majestic and gentle giants. Sorry, they’re not up for adoption. They’re way too hard to bring home on the plane.

Learn about Tenderfeet, a Collette Foundation:

We support the Tenderfeet School. This school is very important to the children in the area. It provides them with food, clothes, and education. There is a classroom for every grade up until sixth grade and they prepare the children for middle and high school. The dream is to build a foundation for a better life for all of the children, which is now possible thanks to the help of momma Margaret, the Collette Foundation and everyone who supports Tenderfeet.

Expert Advice

As you safari through Africa, enjoy a casual dress style and be sure to pack comfortable walking shoes. It is recommended to bring lightweight fabrics that may be worn in layers which may be added or removed; it tends to be cool in the morning and warmer in the afternoon.

You're in for a culinary treat as you explore the cuisine of Africa. Enjoy unique meats, colorful vegetables and tropical fruits during your African safari tour. The rule of thumb here is -- if you can peel it, it is fine to eat.

It is recommended to bring mosquito spray that contains up to 30 percent DEET.

Day-by-day itinerary

Board your overnight flight to Nairobi today.

Travel through scenic, highland landscapes—and make a photo stop at the equator —on your way to the Great Rift Valley. This astoundingly beautiful region is an important center of ecological study, and its sparkling lakes and steep, rocky escarpments serve as havens for wildlife such as black rhinos, rare Rothschild giraffes, and more than a dozen globally threatened bird species.

The region is also home to the Maasai people, an indigenous tribe of semi-nomadic pastoralists whose livelihood revolves around cattle.

After lunch, continue to Serengeti National Park, a nearly 5,800-square-mile UNESCO World Heritage Site and true natural wonder. The park’s southern reaches play a key role in the Great Migration, a spectacular and cyclical year-round event during which nearly 2 million wildebeest travel between Tanzania and Kenya to procreate and to search for food and water.

• Breakfast each morning is also included at the hotel and is typically buffet style with hot and cold options.
• Included lunches may be picnic style during some longer driving days.
• Cuisine in your game lodges reflects the region’s British colonial influence—you may find that many locals pause for afternoon tea.

Maize, sweet potatoes, and pineapple were brought over by the Portuguese, and beef has been a staple since the 1600s.
• At the conclusion of your tour, it is customary to offer your Driver Guide (and Tour Director if your group has one) a gratuity in US dollars.

• Major North American credit cards are accepted but can be difficult to use in remote locations (Visa is the most widely accepted).
• International banks and businesses primarily accept debit and credit cards that work with the EMV chip system. If you do not already have at least one debit or credit card with a chip in it, we strongly recommend requesting one from your bank prior to your tour.

• As needed, On Tour Support can facilitate additional support for travelers on tour, arrange assistance from outside specialists, and liaise with local and international authorities to help solve on-the-ground issues. In addition, the team is dedicated to supporting and facilitating communication between travelers and families in the event of an emergency while on the road or at home.

• Prepare for your trip: be aware of the monetary norms such as tipping and negotiating in a market, learn about the destination’s forms of etiquette, and take some time to learn a few words in the local language.
• When interacting with locals, make sure to ask people for permission before you take their picture, and approach cultural differences with empathy and an open mind.
• EF Go Ahead Tours encourages our travelers to limit their waste while on the road, especially single use plastics.

If you need to use plastics or paper, please recycle.
• Environment: When visiting national parks, reserves, or other protected areas, please do not remove anything from the natural environment or leave any litter. Carry out what you carried in.
• Animal Welfare: Take the philosophies of World Animal Protection to heart during included tour activities and your free time.

If you feel we are not meeting these commitments, please share your feedback with us.
• Animal Welfare: Avoid buying any exploitative wildlife products such as tortoise shell or shark fin soup.

Welcome to Kenya

Travel to Kenya for the greatest natural show on earth: the Masai Mara wildebeest migration. With a million animals on the move, it is a sight never forgotten; it’s also a great opportunity to watch Africa’s top predators – big cats, wild dogs and crocodiles – in action. You’ll stay at tented camps and thatched safari lodges, enjoying game drives and guided walks as well as hot air balloon safaris and visits to local communities. It’s the quintessential safari experience.

Kenya is, after all, where safari travel began. Blessed with abundant wildlife, the country is home to parks and reserves of dazzling diversity. Away from the rolling grasslands of the Masai Mara, Kenya is a land of soaring mountains, flamingo-covered lakes and lush forests. There’s Big 5 game viewing, palm-fringed Indian Ocean beaches and hideaway tropical islands, making Kenya the perfect safari and beach destination.

Kenya Tours & Travel

Kenya Attractions & Landmarks Guide

Kenya, the heart of the former British East Africa, was the setting for the books and films “Born Free,” “Out of Africa” and many others. As a result, countless Westerners have been inspired to experience a Kenyan safari  for themselves. If you’re one of them, Kenya may be the right country for you.

Its modern capital, Nairobi, provides a good transition when flying in and out, but the real action is in the savannahs and valleys of the south, the semi-arid deserts of the north, and the 300-mile-long Indian Ocean coast to the east, with its lovely beaches and intriguing Swahili culture.

Top National Parks in Kenya

Kenya has numerous National Parks, filled with beautiful scenery, botany, and animals.

Check out these parks on your Kenyan Adventure:

1. Mt.  Kenya  - this is the second tallest mountain in Africa . The surrounding area is filled with lakes, glaciers, dense forest and animals. Activities include mountain climbing, camping, and animal spotting.

2. Amboseli National Park -  known as the “home of the African Elephant,” and is one of the best viewing areas to see herds of animals. Sitting by Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro , there is a variety of habitats in the National park, including wetlands, savannah, and a dried-up lake bed.

For travelers looking for a local, authentic, cultural experience, visit the nearby Maasai community. Wildlife includes leopards, cheetahs, buffalo, elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, and crocodiles.

3. Nairobi National Park -  sitting about an hour outside of Nairobi, this makes for an easy day trip from the city. Experience the wildlife (including black rhinos, leopards, lions, buffalo, and giraffes) running through the wide open grass plains, with the city skyline in the background.

4. Samburu National Reserve -  a game reserve that sits on the banks of the Ewaso Ng’iro river in the Rift Valley area of Kenya. The park is noted for being quiet and serene, since it’s distance and inaccessible prevented major tourism for a while. While the park is home to the normal big five, there are rare species that are exclusive to the park, including Grevy’s zebra, and Kenya leopard.

5. Maasai  Mara National Park - one of the most famous safari parks in the world, and is known for its high density of lions and leopards. Many visitors come to Maasai Mara to watch the Great Migration that happens during the dry season (July-October). This reserve is also located in the Great Rift Valley. Most visitors of Maasai Mara are likely to see all of the big five because of the abundant wildlife.

Wildlife on a Kenya Safari

Like most African Safaris , there is a good chance that all five of the “big five” will live in the park. The big five include lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and rhinos. Other common animals on Kenya Safaris include zebra, the African impala, giraffe, warthogs, and wildebeest.

I n July-October, there is the Great Migration , where millions of animals (wildebeest, zebras, and gazelle) move up from Tanzania into Kenya. Of course, visitors will still be able to spot these animals throughout the year, but it’s a magical experience to witness the Great Migration.

No two safaris are the same, even if you go on multiple game drives in one day. Each drive offers an opportunity to see different animals. With that, there is no guarantee you’ll see every animal on every drive.

Regardless, little compares to the serenity and beauty of seeing wildlife roaming free. A lot of animals spend time in the shade midday, as the sun is hot. Consider safaris that offer sunrise and/or sunset tours, which is when most animals are out walking around. If you do go on a safari during the afternoon, keep a lookout under trees, and above branches, as they like to relax in the shady spots.

Luxury safaris in Kenya

For travelers who want to get out and see the animals and the wild, but may be hesitant about “roughing it” or sleeping out in a tent, a luxury safari may be the perfect solution! There are plenty of lodges that have actual bedrooms, viewing decks, provide breakfast, lunch and dinner, and even have spas and pools!

For those who are looking for a bit more of a “tent luxury safari,” consider a stay at the Angama Mara . The individual tents are made up of one glass wall that look over the rift valley. The other three walls, and the roof, are made up of canvas. Walk out the sliding glass door onto the deck incredible views of the valley. Feel the fresh air at night and hear the wild, by sleeping with the sliding door open. There is a mesh door that can be latched for safety.

Luxury safaris can start in the low hundreds (American dollars) per room per night, and can climb into the thousands, per night! Having all meals provided, and safaris with knowledgeable guides included are usually worth the high costs of luxury safaris .

Kenyan Cuisine

One of the best parts about traveling is getting to try new foods!

Here are some of the must try foods for anyone visiting Kenya:

1. Ugali -  Known as Kenya’s most common food staple, Ugali is often made from cornmeal that is mixed with boiling water. The cornmeal is heating until it forms a block of cornmeal paste. It’s heavy and feels like a grainy dough. Ugali is often eaten with mixed vegetable or stew.

2. Irio  - another famous dish in Kenya. Green peas and potatoes are boiled and mashed up before mixing with corn. Combine the mixture with some roasted nyama choma meat and serve. For vegetarians, substitute the meat for some stew.

3. Wali wa Nazi -  a more popular food found on the coast along the Indian Ocean. White rice is cooked with grated coconut, giving it a fun hint of flavor. This food is often served with fish, chicken curry, vegetables, or stew.

4. Nyama Choma -  also known as roasted meat, is another popular food choice in Kenya. While the most common forms of nyama choma is goat and beef meat, there are also chicken and fish options. The roasted meat is combined with salt for a little bit of extra flavoring. Some places offer an option for the meat to be “fried” rather than roasted.

5. Chips  Mayai -  also known as a French fry omelet, is a combination of French fries that are mixed with beaten eggs. Pop the “fries” (or chips) in the pan, cover with the beaten egg, and cook.

This dish is often served with chili tomato sauce. Tomato sauce and fries are a popular combination in Kenya. Other options include Kenyan Bajias (French-fries with tomato salsa) or Masala Chips (French-frieds with tomato and chili sauce, herbs, and whatever other foods the chef decides to throw in.

6. Mandazi  - this makes a great snack, breakfast, or dessert option. This deep fried dough is basically a Kenyan doughnut. Any doughnut lover should be on the lookout to try Mandazi when in Kenya

Masai and Merchants

Kenya is diverse: scattered among the most populous native tribespeople (such as Kikuyu, Luo, Meru, Samburu), you’ll find Masai warriors in their red tribal garments the far south, black-robed Muslim women on Lamu Island, merchants from China and east India along the coast, British expats in Nairobi, and global archaeologists and anthropologists out in the field. The only thing excluded from that list are the visitors from around the world who come to view and photograph some of the most remarkable wildlife on earth -- they can be found nearly everywhere.

If you book with an experienced safari operator, you can expect to see all or most of these creatures in their natural settings: lions, elephants, giraffes, Cape buffalo, rhinos (both white and black), hippos, leopards, cheetahs, zebras, wildebeest, hyenas, warthogs, ostriches, flamingos, and many more.

While it’s not necessary to visit a half-dozen different game parks to see most of the animals you want to see, tours that take you to several distinct parts of this fascinating country have the advantage of allowing you to drink in views of some of the most extraordinary landscapes on earth. The volcanic, lake-pocked Rift Valley , the vast sprawling savannahs, the red-tinged soils and desert sands of the interior, the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean – all combine to create magical backdrops that are doubly enhanced by glimpses of giraffes galloping by the roadway or the sounds of elephants marching and trumpeting in the distance.

The Great Migration

While most everyone would like to be in Kenya in late summer and early fall for the Great Migration of wildebeest, zebras and Thomson’s gazelles racing north from Tanzania’s Serengeti Plains into Maasai Mara National Reserve , don’t overlook the quieter pleasures of game-viewing at Meru National Park or Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya. Other great spots can be found in the wide-open spaces of vast Tsavo East and West national parks to the south.

The January-February dry season is ideal for these parks, but even during the spring rainy season game viewing can be productive and rewarding, especially in the hands of expert guides. To help you find those guides, Stride offers an ever-expanding list of reputable safari tour operators who respect the environment and know how to find the animals and the best angles for photographing them.

With a wide selection available, you’re sure to find the right Kenyan safari to suit your level of adventurousness and budget. And before you know it, you’ll be starring in your own production of “Into Africa.”

Texas Volleyball Wraps Up European Tour Ahead of 24-25 Season

Isa almeida | 13 hours ago.

Back-to-back national champions Texas Volleyball have to play against the best to be the best.

In the span of three weeks, the Longhorns traveled to four countries to face European national teams and clubs.

The first stop was home to a Texas legend. Logan Eggleston’s worlds collided when her college team played her professional team Galatasaray’s under-19 team. The Longhorns came out on top 4-0, but had one more round in Istanbul. Against the Club World Champion’s Eczasibasi Dynavit under-19 team, the Horns fought on for a 3-2 victory. Freshman Ayden Ames scored the match point for Texas ahead of her first collegiate season.

In Budapest, the national champions challenged the Hungarian national team. With Keonilei Akana in the black libero jersey, and Madisen Skinner back from the Nations League , Texas tied 3-3 with the hosts.

OK Nova KBM Branik hosted the Longhorns in Maribor, Slovenia. The games didn’t follow the traditional competitive best-of-five format as to allow the teams to play around with the lineups. Texas won both games 4-1 and 3-2.

Last stop in the team’s summer trip was Italy. In Busta Arizio, Texas played first division Italian team UYBA Busto Arizio and won 3-1. In the final game in Milan, the opponents were the Italian Junior National Team.

The European journey allowed head coach Jerritt Elliott to watch how his team competes against different styles of play overseas, and try different combinations with returning players, transfers and freshmen.

Texas’ path to a first SEC championship and third consecutive national championship starts in August.
