Adventure Safari

browse (1 / 5)

If you're looking for an active safari, Kenyan west is the ideal place to mix exploration and relaxation. For the trekker, there is plenty of opportunity to strap on a pack and head for the hills.

The Gembe Hills, in the vicinity of Safari village, is ideal hill walking country, gently rising to a peak of 3957 m. There are extensive series of tracks and paths that wind through a varied landscape of semi-arid scrub, farmland and open fields. There is excellent birding and stunning views. There are no set routes, just the freedom to explore in wild, tranquil surroundings. Experienced and knowledgeable guides can be made available.

On the nearby, Mfangano Island, a high plateau towers high above the beaches. Visitors can climb a winding path that leads its way through tiny villages and rocky slopes to a magnificent viewpoint across the lake. But the reward for this relatively tough climb is more than just the view. In the shelter of a high curved overhang, a series of cave paintings, are ranged along the length of a wall.
