CSS 901: 9 DAYS KENYA
FAMILY SAFARI
-
Whilst adults enjoy the many hours driving
through the open African savannah plains in quest of the many species of
fauna and flora, we recognize that young children tire easily and become
bored on 2-3 hours of game viewing in the confines of a safari vehicle.
This safari is specially designed for families with children aged 4-16
years. It includes a dedicated full-time children educational and
entertainment programmes, Adventurer Club.
-
-
The Adventurer Club's ultimate mission is to
give young visitors a valuable lesson in the vitality and fragility of
the African Wilderness, and to teach natural appreciation for life. The
range of subject matter is as diverse as it is fascinating from mammal
habits and habitats, to the migration of birds and butterflies, the use
of medicinal plants to environmental quizzes and treasure hunts,
traditional dances, games and handicrafts.

situated at the base of Mount Kenya. This is a Tree lodge for which
the Mount Kenya region is famous, and is uniquely Kenyan concept.
The lodge has specially constructed viewing bunkers from where you
can spot game any time of the day. Arrive at the lodge in time for
lunch. Afternoon take a guided forest walk before returning for game
viewing from a spacious verandah overlooking the waterhole or by
going for a forest walk for sighting of game and bird life. Night
game viewing here is a joy - if you are lucky, you could see an
elephant coming to feed near the lodge, only away meters from you.

here. You will easily see lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffe,
wildebeests, zebras, buffalo, warthogs, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs,
buffalo, leopard, many kinds of antelopes and elephant. It is in the
Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes
place. This is the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra
from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search of water and pasture. Following
on their heels are the predators of the savanna- lion, cheetah, wild
dog, jackal, hyena and vultures.
