Crazy About Kenya Survey Results - The Top Five Game Viewing Locations
Acacia Adventure Holidays releases Crazy About Kenya survey results on the top five game viewing locations in Kenya
[UKPRwire, Tue Dec 30 2008] We’re often found hanging on the word of UK celebrities when it comes to hot travel destinations, however, Acacia Adventure Holidays has gone one better with their recent survey, by quizzing a group of Kenyan "A" Listers.
Over 20 talented musicians and artists from Africa's wildlife capital, including Eric Wainaina, an award winning singer songwriter, have given their opinion on the top five game viewing locations in the wildlife capital, and let’s face it if you’re choosing to travel in Kenya, who better to ask than a Kenyan.
The top five destinations are as follows:
1. Maasai Mara Game Reserve
2. Lake Turkana
3. Nairobi National Park
4. Samburu Game Reserve
5. Lake Nakuru National Park
The survey is part of the crazyaboutkenya.com initiative – an online guide to the destination that aims to give travellers a broader perspective of Kenya and take them further than the Mara. Lake Turkana, which comes in at number two, is a new addition to Acacia Adventure Holidays' 2009 brochure and is featured on the 8-day Kenya’s Untamed North itinerary. A definite if you’re looking to safari without the crowds - the arid expanse is home to a surprising number of wildlife, including the Lion, Cheetah, Hippo and the largest population of Crocodiles in Africa. (£774pp + local payment from £122pp)
Those looking to game drive in the number one spot can head off on the 13-day Kenya and Tanzania Adventure. The overland tour is part of Acacia Adventure Holidays’ Winter Sun Specials promotion, all the tour operator’s overland tours currently being discounted by 25%. The discount relates to departures up to 01 July. Bookings should be made by end of 2008.
Hooking into the official line in Kenya*, Acacia Adventure Holidays’ Crazy About Kenya guide also hopes to enthuse tourists with art and music in the capital post safari. Several ethical projects are linked to the campaign, including uptoyoutoo.com and WAPI - a monthly event held at the British Council in Nairobi. The buzzing guide to Nairobi, featuring the favourite cultural haunts of the initiative's talented Kenyan partners will also launch later in the year. The tour operator offers 3-day Nairobi city stays which can be added to overland and adventure itineraries.
