This handbook can be easily named as the best travel companion and tour guide rolled up into one. It encompasses all bush survival tips, serving as a bible for the bush adventure.

A visit to the national parks is one of the most rewarding elements of Safari. Kenya Wildlife Service manages almost all the National Parks in Kenya as well as most of the national reserves. To ensure maximum enjoyment and security of the visitor while protecting the habitat at the same time, some basic guidelines need to be followed are put in place and are highlighted in this book.

A lot of information about what to do (or activity options) is described. These include a wide range for all regions that KWS park can be found. In the mountainous region one can go mountain climbing, hiking, trekking and trout fishing can be done in Abedare and Mt. Kenya National Parks. Wildlife viewing, camping, horse riding, picnicking, bird watching are just a tip in the iceberg of the wide variety of activities that can take place in the terrestrial parks.

Aside from wilderness and bush, KWS also has a range of marine parks in both the North and South Coast. Here one can snorkel, sunbathe, swim with dolphins, go for glass bottom rides and so much more…

For groups, families and corporate, we have a range of self-catering accommodation that are fairly priced and can enhance the bonding aspect of a group that rarely finds time at home or on regular days.

The book completes the Safari experience in Kenya and lets tourists get maximum value from their holiday.

Welcome… and enjoy!
