Kenya
|
In the spring of 1999 we went to Kenya. The main
goal of this trip was to show the beautifull
African wildlife to the kids and I can say that we were very lucky. We saw
the big 5 (Elephant, Buffalo, Lion, Giraffe and Leopard) and enjoyed the
African scenery. At the end of the trip we relaxed a bit at the beach near Mombassa. |

Masai Mara was
our first destination. It is one of the larger parks and continues into
Tanzania as Serengeti National Park. We saw a lot of wildlife despite the
high grass. There were lions everywhere. We also saw severals
herds of buffalo and lots of baby animals. |

If you are really lucky you get to see a leopard. We
were even more lucky to spot a leopard that had just
made a kill. |

More to the north we went to Samburu
National Park. This park is very dry compared to Masai
Mara and both the vegitation and the animals are
completely different from those in Masai Mara. |
