Kenya Safaris

 


 


The body colour of

their heads will turn
brown, and white spots
appear on their body

 

 

 


Lions spend much of
their time resting and
are inactive for
about 20 hours per
day. They spend an
average of two hours
a day walking and
50 minutes eating


Welcome Back to
Kenya

Kenya is back, and better than ever!... With the political situation in Kenya stabilized, we are happy to offer a 12-day safari to some of the most beautiful tented camps in Kenya at a very attractive price.

Many travelers have been alarmed by the recent post-election unrest in Kenya.  Classic Escapes has always been committed to the safety of our customers, and we understand your concerns.

Happily, the situation in Kenya has stabilized, and we are now offering one of our best deals ever on travel to this classic safari destination.  Now is the time to experience the thunder of elephants, the roaring of lions, the odd grace of the giraffe, the solitary power of the leopard – all the astonishing wildlife that has made Kenya famous.  This is your chance to live the dream that Hemingway and Dinesen made famous, in luxurious tented camps with views of epic landscapes and amazing wildlife.

A trip to Kenya isn’t a selfish pleasure, though.  Tourist revenue is vital to wildlife and habitat protection, as well as the livelihoods of many rural families.  The Kenyan people need and welcome visitors; the Kenyan wildlife can’t thank you in so many words, but the incredible memories you’re sure to bring home will be reward enough.

We are now booking departures from September 15 to December 15, 2008 for 12 days from $2,995 land only, plus from $1,650 air from New York or Washington, D.C.

The Maasai rarely eat wild birds or animals, so their main conflicts with wildlife occur when predators attack their prized cattle or other livestock.  Their nomadic herding lifestyle has been hemmed in by urbanization and the formation of parks on former grazing lands, but many Maasai are finding creative ways to balance their traditions and communities with wage employment and the tourist trade.
