Safari at Lewa and Ol Pejeta Conservancies

Kenya’s northern tourist circuit has had its fair share spotlight in the tourism industry in Kenya since the early 70’s due to conservation efforts by pioneers such as George and Joy Adamson of the famous film Born Free.

Most of this areas were private ranches and the owners decided to convert them into wildlife conservancies to preserve the wildlife and give support to the local communities.

Students / School Tours to Sweetwaters/ Nanyuki, Sweetwaters, Serena Sweetwaters, Ol Pejeta Ranch, Mt. Kenya

Last week I had a fabulous time as I lead a group of students and teachers from Nairobi to tour Ol Pejeta Ranch in Nanyuki, Kenya. They had a great time at the Serena Sweetwater's Camp as they dined and wined overlooking the wild animals. The giraffes turned out to be my favorite this time round as they posed for the shots better than models.

Unlike last year same time this time it was much drier and few animals although the lion came to slurp some water in the watering hole just right next to my tent and the roar almost sent me under the nicely made queen bed!

Bungee jumping in Kenya

Bungee jumping is an extreme sport and it involves jumping from a tall structure while being held around your torso using a body harness.  When the person jumps, the cord stretches and the jumper flies upwards again as the code snaps back, and continues to oscillate up and down until all the energy is dissipated.

Site location
In Kenya bungee jumping is done at Tana River near Sagana. A steel tower erected on the banks of the river provides a 60 meters (196 feet) platform from where the plunge is done.  Sagana is 98 km from Nairobi on the Nyeri road. Fountain Safaris can provide a tour van to the site or you can self-drive to Sagana.
