Christine travelled to the Laikipia and Masai Mara regions in Kenya
Hi Mary – just to let you know we arrived safely from our fabulous holiday. We had a wonderful time and saw some amazing animals. Thank you so much for all your hard work in arranging everything for us and for re-arranging our return flights so we could go to the elephant sanctuary on the last day. A perfect ending to our perfect holiday. Both camps had brilliant hosts and I really got on well with Sonia who has the same interests as me, we are exchanging cooking recipes and crafty ideas!
Kenya
Regions
The Mathews Range
Northern Kenya is dominated by arid desert and it is therefore quite a surprise to find lush riverine valleys and thick forested slopes in the heart of it all, but the Mathews Range is just that. Careful management of certain areas at the southern end of the range has created a huge growth in animal numbers, especially the elephants which have previously been victims of poaching. A visit to the Mathews Range should not be about game-viewing alone (except possibly the elephants), but rather more about the wilderness, scenery, exclusivity, walking and cultural interaction that can be enjoyed (including the famous ‘singing wells’). When people claim Kenya is ‘over-crowded’ with tourists, they clearly do not know about places such as the wonderful Namunyak Conservancy in the Mathews.
