stewie 3,387 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I went to Kenya around 12 years ago, stayed out 2 days on one safari in tents and then done a 4 day safari to different parts of 2 reserves. The scenery was breathtaking as vast as you can possibly imagine with animals everywhere saw all the main animals, waited most of the night to see a leopard which came to a bait set up a tree. Just missed a lion kill but it wasn't just the big animals the bird life was amazing and done some diving too which was great......... Downsides....... I like to get out and about but this was not a place I felt safe being in, the poverty is obvious and you are rich.... The week before the tent safari the camp was held up and everyone was robbed, we were assured of higher security ( a bloke with a bow and arrows ws all I could see) that was a strange nights sleep...... The constant hassling once you left the hotel got a bit much every couple of steps they tried to sell you something, they have no choice I know but there's only so much you can buy and so many times you can say no.... I wanted to go since I was a kid and I'm pleased I did, I think it's just a place you need to keep your wits about you..... cheers for that mate..... My mooching partner lived in South Africa for a few years, his youngest was born there. He'd be worth a chat too. He didn't keep JRT's out there though. Something slightly bigger. :laugh: :laugh: ill have you both down again soon mate and ill talk to him then!!! the first time i was in africa was 1973 ,that was east africa and the cape . and a few bits in between i was also down in the cape 4 years ago .. gret country apart from apatied it aint changed much it was a dangerous place 40 years ago still is now you need your witts about you ,. but keep out of the big citys a night , they just kill you and rob you for fun !! the citys are the last place i wanna go mate!!!! thanks for the tips....
