Maasai Mara is an extension of the Serengeti ecosystem to the south. Game abounds here, particularly when the migration is on, and millions of wildebeests and zebras make their way back and forth across the Mara River on their annual trek. The Mara is also noted for its abundance of lions - particularly the superb black maned males. Look out to see lots of elephants here often in large herds, as well as - if you're lucky - leopard, cheetah and rhino. All of the Big Five are residents. You're likely to see the African buffalo. Get the cameras ready and enjoy yourselves!
The cost is divided into two regions, north and south with the town of Mombasa being the delineation point. Mombasa, Kenya’s second largest town and its only major port, is built on an island. There is record of the town’s existence as far back as 2,000 years and it was once a major centre for spice, ivory and slave trade. The Portuguese Fort Jesus stands as a reminder of the struggle between the colonising forces of Europe and Arabia. When the British arrived, Mombasa became the originating point of the railroad to Uganda. With it’s strong Muslim influence and rich Swahili culture, the coast is an interesting contrast to the wildlife areas. There are numerous small hotels and larger resorts stretching northward along the coast. A ferry takes visitors to the south coast and the border with Tanzania where the best fishing areas are. Nearby the town of Mombasa is the Kamba village, where it’s possible to watch local carvers craft sculptures of all sorts and sizes from the rare ebony wood.

Amboseli National Park is situated near the border of Kenya and Tanzania in the south east region of Kenya about 250 kms from Nairobi. Magnificent views of snow-capped Kilimanjaro greet visitors from anywhere in the park. The best time to see it, however, is early morning or just around sunset as it’s more than likely it will be cloaked in clouds during the day. Africa’s highest mountain erupted millions of years ago spewing volcanic rock across the plains. The park takes it’s name from the Masai word meaning “salty dust”. Year round springs which filter down from the snows and glaciers of the mountain provide an excellent source of water for the numerous species of wildlife in the park as well as habitat for water fowl. The largest elephants in Africa live here and on some mornings over 600 have been counted in the swamps where the bird life is also colourful and prolific. There are resident zebra and wildebeest as well as Thompson’s gazelle, warthog, giraffe, vervet monkeys, baboon and black-backed jackal. It's possible to arrange a visit to a nearby manyatta or Maasai village and see how these fascinating and proud people conduct their daily lives.
