Kenya Travel Top 3 - Kenya Travel Best Options in Kenya Africa

1. Cycling Kenya Travel Safaris

This is the newest form of adventure Kenya travel in Kenya. It follows the idea of meeting experiences in wild as a participant. Most of the organised trips use a combination of cycling, walking, boating and traveling by vehicle to camps that follows a set itinerary with you.

Some cycling Kenya travel companies pamper you and do all the camp work, some ask you to participate in camp chores. Again, prices vary depending on numbers of cyclists and number of days required for the Kenya travel. They range from $360 per person for three days to $ 720 per person for six days. If you do not bring your own, a mountain bike is provided.

2. White Water Rafting Kenya Travel

Depending on water levels, Kenya white water adventures can give you rafting trips ranging from 40 to 400 miles, from one day to several weeks, and all at a level of luxury designed to suit you. Rafts are put in on the Tana or the Athi River. You can see plenty of bird life and wildlife along the shore. Classes III to V rapids are interspersed with calmer water in rafting kenya travel.

For longer trips, you camp along the river. Rafting trips in Kenya can be combined with caving in Chyulu hills or game drives in Tsavo or Amboseli National Parks. You are required to sign a release and assumption of risk before making this Kenya travel trip.

3. Bird Shooting Kenya Travel

Bird shooting is good in Kenya. The private camps are set up in the traditional East African Style with a shower tent, a toilet, mess tent, and sleeping tents with camp beds. There are lots of friendly staff to look after laundry and the day to day running of the camp in this Kenya travel. All meals, beer, and soft drinks are included, and the food in camp is delicious.

The day begins early with tea or coffee delivered to your tent. You can have breakfast before you go out or after you come back; it is up to you to set the schedule. After you arrive at the water hole, expect flocks of sand grouse and doves. They come by the hundreds. The limits are generous: 20 per person per day for sand grouse, 25 for doves, and 15 for mixed bag of ground birds. Not only can you expect very challenging shooting, you may also see magnificent Mt. Kilimanjaro.

The rest of the day will include lunch back in camp and naps to avoid mid day equatorial heat. Perhaps you might request a game drive at nearby Amboseli national park. Afternoon ground bird shooting includes guinea fowl, spur fowl, and francolin. Sundowners in the cool of the evening and Kenya travel stories by the warm campfire are the traditional finish to an exciting day.

Walking around camp you can be sure of seeing plains game and perhaps a rare lesser kudu. You can hear African lion roaring at night. You will be amazed at the quantity and brightness of stars in the east African sky.

Prices: $450 per person per day (exact amount depends on the number of clients) plus 10% more per shooter per day plus cartridges and spirits at cost.

5 Tips For World Cup 2010 Visitors in South Africa

As the South African Nation prepares for World Cup 2010, an estimated of 500,000 soccer fans from around the world are looking for World Cup Accommodation in the nine different cities that are hosting World Cup Matches. A majority of which are visiting South Africa for the first time. And like many visitors to foreign countries, there are many safety precautions one should take before and during their visit. It's well known that the crime rate is relatively high in South Africa. But this shouldn't dissuade you from visiting a beautiful country that is both rich in culture and wildlife. Common sense and a little preparation will ensure a safe and fun filled trip. So for the weary traveler, I present to you 5 tips for visiting South Africa for the World Cup. This list is in no particular order.

1. Do your research

Before you arrive to your city destination, you should do some research of the surrounding area for your place of accommodation. Research nearby restaurants, parks, stores, bus routes etc. and their locations so you are able to plan out your daily activities and how to get to them. Also, you should speak to the people you will be staying with about where the safer areas of the neighborhood are. This way, you aren't spending your days aimlessly venturing out in an unfamiliar city, putting yourself at risk of getting lost or ending up in a bad neighborhood.

2. Travel in groups

Avoid traveling alone. It is less likely that you will be become a victim to a crime if you are traveling with another person or in a group. If you must travel alone, make sure you are visiting areas of the city that have a lot of foot traffic.

3. Keep photocopies of important documentation

You should make sure you have photocopies of your passports, ID, and credit cards. This will speed the process of getting documents replaced should they go missing.

4. Try staying in a locals home

If you really want a sense for life in South Africa and want the inside scoop for where to go and what to do, stay with a local. There are a few websites that give you a great selection of places to stay, like iStopOver.

5. Don't feed the animals

South Africa is known for their wild life and abundance of game reserves. If you are planning to venture out of urban areas, you are bound to come across some wild life. Although it's hard to resist the temptation of getting up close and personal with them, it would be strongly advised to keep a safe distance as South Africa contains a lot of dangerous wildlife. Lion cubs may look cute and cuddly but there is surely a hungry mother looking for lunch not far away.

This list is by no means exhaustive and definitely not limited to these 5 tips. So I strongly suggest readers to post their own suggestions!
