KENYA
There is no one picture that can summarize what Kenya and a safari are all about. The rugged beauty, the wildlife, flora and fauna, the gracious people, the savannah and of course, Mount Kenya, are all just the beginning of an experience in Kenya.

The main goal of any safari is to see the “big five”; elephants, rhino, Cape Buffalo, lions and leopards. In earlier times, this goal was for hunters who would shoot them for their trophies. Now we only shoot them with our cameras, although there are still some safaris in Tanzania and elsewhere where they use guns, but not in Kenya.
Lamu Island is a port, city, and island just off the shore of Kenya in the Indian Ocean approximately 150 miles from Mombasa. Lamu was founded in the 12th century.Lamu Old Town is a World Heritage Unesco site and is the oldest and best-preserved Swahili settlement in East Africa, retaining its traditional functions.
Suyian Soul is a very special small camp about 30 miles northwest of Nanyuki in Laikipia and where we sighted a rare black leopard on day #1.
Nanyuki is a market town in central Kenya, located about a 3 to 4-hour drive from Nairobi. It features a small airstrip, making access to the bush more convenient.
Mount Kenya is Africa’s second highest mountain at 5,199m (17,058 feet) and the highest of all Kenya Mountains. We hiked on the Sirimon Trail starting at around 10,000 feet and ascended up to 12,000 feet.
