North of Africa’s second highest point, Mount Kenya, is the drier Samburu, home of the uniquely patterned grevy’s Zebra and reticulated giraffe. Here you may also experience the culture of the Samburu people, a people who live close to the land and to their traditional ways despite the influence of westernization.

Village visits can be arranged where you can experience part of the culture and purchase traditional items.Into TanzaniaFrom the legendary Serengeti and Mount Kilimanjaro to Ngorogoro Crater and Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania is a country that still plays to an ancient rhythm.

It matters not what sights you have seen or how long you have lived in the wild areas of Africa, the migrations will leave you emotionally drained. From Travels in East Africa by Leigh Kemp |
