Balloon safaris are operated from all the major lodges and camps in the Masai Mara, Taita hills lodge and Serengeti. It is an enthralling sight, as just before dawn, the balloons are inflated and prepared for flight. As the sun rises, the balloon slowly lifts above the trees to catch the gentle early morning air-current. Drifting silently a few hundred feet above the ground, reveals a new dimension to the landscape of the Mara. Marvel at herds of wildbeest peacefully grazing on the still-dump grass, while elephant and buffalo can be seen picking their way through the riverine forests. Look out for lion families perched haughtily on a knoll, surveying the domain. After about one hour flight, descend slowly to the open plain for an assisted landing. It is then time to relax as the sun warms the plain and the staff prepare a sumptuous al-fresco breakfast.

The warm clear waters of Kenya Coast present the perfect setting for diving. Diving opportunities are available at all major islands, Shimoni being the prime site.

OXWAGON SAFARIS

When the European settlers first arrived on the mainland of East Africa some 90 years ago they either traveled by the newly constructed railway, walked or went by Ox wagon. This was an infinitely slow method of getting around, but they did see the country in more detail. Now you can discover what it was like for those fearless settlers to travel over country that has not changed in a thousand years. See the birds and animals at a slow pace instead of rushing along a road and if you want to stretch your legs just step off the wagon and walk along side. Inside the wagon there are comfortable seats, cool refreshments and shade. At night stay in a luxury tented camp with hot showers and cordon bleu cuisine around a cosy campfire. We offer a 3 day oxwagon safari in the country around Lake Naivasha. The maximum number of participants is 12.

THE LUNATIC EXPRESS

At the turn of the century a remarkable railway construction feat was completed and the "Lunatic line" linking Mombasa to Uganda opened up the Kenyan interior to the European farmers and settlers. During the five years it took to build the railway, the engineers encountered unimaginable hazards including hostile tribesmen, man-eating lions, inhospitable deserts and the great Rift Valley escarpment. Nowadays the train journey between Nairobi and Mombasa is a comfortable overnight sleeper with twin 1st class cabins, bedding and meals provided. The train departs from Nairobi to Mombasa and vice versa every evening at dusk, arriving soon after breakfast the following morning.

Kenya is a prime destination for honeymooners. However, why not start the whole celebration here and have an exotic wedding in a Beach Hotel in one of our paradise islands, or in one of our lodges. We can make all the arrangements including photographer, wedding cake, bouquet or other celebrations.
