Best Kenya Safaris for animal watching and mountain climbing

 

Kenya is a land of abundant nature and its natural wealth is unsurpassable. It has dramatic natural scenery, mountains with varying climates, thickly grown forests, far reaching savannah housing a range of wildlife species that are not seen in other parts of the world. You can divide your tour time between wildlife watching and adventurous climbing, flying over savannah to spot the big 5 or capture the best moment of animal life in the African grassland. There are several transport modes available for Kenya Safari Tours and they are termed as the following:

1.       Walking Safaris

2.       Guided game drives

3.       Aerial safaris

4.       Balloon Safaris

5.       Horseback safaris

6.       Elephant back safaris

7.       Primate safaris

8.       Photographic safaris

9.       Hideouts

10.   Mountain bike safaris

The above mentioned are self explainable and you can choose any of the above with your tour operator. Elephant back safaris, balloon safaris, aerial safaris or flying safaris can be costly options. If you are adventurous enough you can opt for a walking safari, or mountain bike safari which will prove economical. There is always the element of safety raising its head when you take up such safaris though they are economical. Aerial safari is the costliest and it can take 4 people at a time including the pilot. The Cessna 172 is built for the purpose and you can have extensive coverage of ground in one trip. It is important that you book the tours early because last minute bookings may not be possible. A balloon safari also offers fantastic view of the savannah and can be cheaper option to aerial safari. Balloon safari is another model of seeing African wildlife as will give you panoramic view of what is spread below.
