Many people love the notion of going on an African hunting safari and feeling the cool African air as they cruise through the jungle. The thought of it is enough to create vacation dreams for many North Americans, yet translating those dreams to reality can be a little bit complicated. Regardless, that does not stop people from dreaming away about riding on the back of an elephant and enjoying the company of some locals before watching a lion chomp down on its prey. The adventure and majesty of Africa certainly comes alive during a wonderful safari trip.
The term “safari” simply refers to an overland journey. This term has been used to typically refer to visitors in Africa, although it has no actual geographical connotation. There is also a certain thematic element attached to the term, drawing upon visions of khaki clothing and a certain type of hat. Regardless of the stereotypical connotations of the term “safari”, the term still calls upon some adventurous notions that many people desire to discover for themselves.
The original term was a reference to the early big game hunters that frequented African. Men, typically of European descent, would head to Africa to bask in its glory and to partake in the lay of the land. During this trip, the men would gather in hunting parties and hunt down various rare animals. They would take trophies for themselves and display them on walls back home, as was the custom. It became a variable rite of passage for many men in the higher echelon of European culture, maintaining a status grip over those people for quite a few years before hunting became unfashionable.
These times often represent a brutal passage of time in the history of Africa. The notion was that Africa was a piece of property that belonged to Europe and, therefore, the animals on it also belonged to Europe. The historical significance of these safaris often carried deep-seeded notions of control and power to the extent of slavery over the continent, enabling Europeans to virtually rape and pillage the land at their leisure. To this day, that history plagues many Africans.
Now, the term “safari” refers to taking a photo safari. Instead of shooting animals with bullets and keeping the heads mounted on the hearth, people are taking pictures and putting together various photo displays of the magical animals they have seen while on safari in the beautiful continent. These photo safaris are becoming incredibly popular with people of all ages that wish to have the experience of a lifetime taking in the wilderness and grandeur of the incredible continent of Africa.
Safari parks are rather common in North America to draw upon the distinction of the African safari. This is a zoo-like tourist attraction that creates an environment where people can observe all sorts of exotic animals from a safe vantage point. The safari park is usually walked through or ridden through in a vehicle that would be driven by a guide. The guide describes the animals that are seen and offers a historical context for the park, giving tourists and guests a complete tour of the park and engaging them in knowledgeable conversation.
The game reserves in Africa tend to be a lot larger than a safari park, though. For this reason, most people still wish to head to Africa to see the magic of nature for themselves in as natural a setting as possible. Within the confines of a game reserve or a safari park, people are engaged with the pure wonder of seeing such incredible animals such as the lion or giraffe. As long as such areas are able to protect some of these animals, people will be able to participate in photo safaris for many years to come. The love of animals, exotic and domestic, may well be the greatest ally to the protection of various species threatened with extinction.

Most people seeking wildlife Safari to Kenya would be thinking of doing the ‘traditional’ type in which most of the catering and accommodation needs are included in the package. That means your meals, accommodation, transport and sometimes even laundry needs are taken care of. You simply sit back and ’shot’ the African wildlife with your camera, while your safari operator worries about these on your behalf.
However, besides this traditional, conventional, guided, full-board accommodation safari in Kenya, one might also consider other types of safari arrangements. One of these is the self-catering safari. This is for the more adventurers. As long as you are willing to sacrifice a little comfort and luxury, then you should consider this option. In some places you might have to go without running water or flushing toilets. But the alternatives to this comfort are bearable and at the end of it all, is worth the experience and the savings on your pocket.
The self-catering Safari would be ideal for budget travelers who may be on a shoestring budget or students with limited financial resources.
What is the difference?
The self-catering safari does not differ much from the guided, full-board safari. The major difference is on food and accommodation arrangements. While on the guided full-board safari, you depend on meals prepared by the hotels and lodges in the areas you will be visiting. You will have paid for all these meals in advance. But on the self-catering safari, you will be preparing your own meals. In fact, some facilities have cooks available so that you only need to come along with your food, and they will cook it for you. You get to determine, to a large extent the type of menu that you prefer and you are also in control of the cost to a large extent. And, as mentioned, a few luxuries are foregone.
First things to consider when thinking of self-catering safari
Depending on your interest in terms of what you would like to see and experience on your safari, you will need to define your routing. The choice of routing is of course dependent on the availability of accommodation facilities that will enable you to do your self-catering. It also depends on the number of days you have for your Safari.
Whichever routing you opt for, and whatever number of days you may have, accommodation while on self-catering safari will be limited to about 3 main options:
The first option is to use of the Kenya Wildlife Services self-catering facilities
Kenya Wildlife Services, the organization that is basically in charge of taking care of wildlife in Kenya, runs and maintains some self-catering facilities. These are spread out fairly well through out the country covering a good number of wildlife viewing areas. For example on the southern circuit, there are self-catering facilities in Amboseli National park and Tsavo West National park. Further, south, along the coast, you will also find their bands at Shimba Hills National Reserve, at Shimoni near Wasini Island and in Malindi, on the north coast side.
In the central Kenya area, you will find KWS self-catering facilities in Aberdares National park and in Mount Kenya area. On the western Kenya route, Kenya Wildlife Services have self-catering facilities in Kakamega, Ruma, Sibiloi and Mount Elgon.
On the floor of the Great Rift Valley, they have facilities in Lake Nakuru - Naishi Guest House.
The second option is to pitch up your own igloo-type tents at designated Campsites
This option means you carry your own tents that you pitch up and dedicated campsites. Such campsites have share public facilities that you can use for cooking. You also share bathroom facilities. You might need your own utensils and certainly need to have beddings. Sleeping bag is a must-have item on this option.
The third option is to use semi-permanent Tents run by private or community groups. As the name suggests, these are semi-permanent canvas tents that are basic. At the campsite, most facilities will be shared - the bathrooms, dinning hall, cooking area etc. Such facilities are not as spread out to the whole country as the ones managed by Kenya Wildlife Services. They are found in Amboseli National park, Maasai Mara, Samburu Game reserve and in Lake Naivasha area.
Transportation mode while on Self-catering safari in Kenya
Once you have designed your routing and picked your accommodation location, you will need to shop around for transportation. If you are traveling in a group of up to 4 persons, you might want to consider renting a SUV that will tackle the sometimes-difficult terrains of the national parks and reserves. Another thing to consider at this point if whether you are better off on a self-drive basis or if you might need a local driver. If you shop around well, you might be able to get one who will triple up as driver/guide/cook.
For groups of more than 4 persons, you probably needs to rent a bigger 4WD vehicle- one that can take up to 8 passengers. If you are 6 persons for example, you still have enough space for your bags and other items that you need on such a safari. In Kenya, such vehicles are always rented out together with a driver. You will hardly find a car-rental company willing to give it to you on a self-drive basis. This should serve as an advantage since the local drivers know their way around, especially for first-timers.
Arrangement for park and reserve entrance charges
Your entrance fees to the various game parks and wildlife reserves need to be arranged in advance and this requires your attention. Kenya Wildlife services does not allow handling of cash by officers at the entry point for the payment of these fees. This is a measure to reduce possible lose of such monies by way of corruption. They have therefore employed the use of a smart card system that demand that you make the payment at designated points of sale.
Even in the case of the game reserves that are run by the local county councils, councils in part of Maasai Mara have designated agents from whom you must purchase the tickets in advance.
In fact, if you have not engaged a travel agent or tour operator to help you in putting together your self-catering safari, you certainly will need a couple of days before the start of the safari so that you can arrange all the aspects for a smooth-running safari.
If you are using a guidebook to gather information as you plan your tour, please crosscheck the currency and reliability of the information you get by consulting as many sources as possible.
Other areas of concern while on self-catering safari: Safety, Security and Health matters
When planning your self-catering tour and designing your itinerary, one major concern will your safety and security during the safari. Again, take your time to consult and get the most current of updates on the security situation. This will guide you on what areas you might want to stay clear off even if they might be of high interest to you.
If you opt of the self-drive option, find out about the road conditions, availability of gasoline and acceptability of credit cards. When on the road, watch out for reckless drivers who might pose danger to you!
Needless to say, on your health matters, take the required precautions against Malaria and other tropical diseases. Ensure you buy and stock enough clean water and only drink bottled water during this time in the bush. Take along water-treatment tabs just in case the need arises.
Enjoy your self-catering safari!

Vehicle transport in Kenya is the main mode of transport. It usually involves using a vehicle on the major tarmac highways or the village graveled roads. A visitor can choose between using public transport vehicles, tour company vans or higher a car of choice and self drive.
There exist a number of car hire companies that hire out vehicles to individuals or groups. The rate is determined by distance to be covered, region being visited, and period of hire and size of car. Most cars are hired per day and discounts maybe offered negotiated if the vehicle is being hired for a longer period.
Vehicle transport in Kenya is not as expensive as it used to be years earlier, this is because more people have invested in the tourism industry and therefore transport is well considered. The competition between the operators always seems to push the prices down making it an affordable option.
For large groups of visitors, the cost can be dropped significantly by using a large capacity vehicle thereby reducing the cost of acquiring the car.
Most cars available for vehicle transport in Kenya include 2WD vehicles, 4WD vehicles, vans, jeeps and Land cruisers and specialized tour trucks and busses. Most 2WD cars can satisfactorily handle trips to all major tourism circuits in Kenya with ease during the dry season but can lead to miserable experiences when it rains and some roads get impassable for the small vehicles.

This includes also checking gear oil, distilled water, coil, clutch cable, accelerator cable, brake master cylinder overhaul kit, water pump overhaul kit (or water pump), petrol pump, one front and one rear main leaf spring, shock absorbers, HT leads, oil pump, wheel studs, half shafts and bearings.
<LI>During wet weather itâs always advisable to use 4WD vehicles and keep speeds low when traveling on the dirt roads. This gives you control over the vehicle if it skids and lets you have an enjoyable vehicle transport around the Kenyan attractions and parks.

When you plan kids parties, there are elements that you should consider when you want to create a total atmosphere for the party. To consider these elements, you must remember the five senses. You can create an atmosphere that is attractive to sight, scent, taste, touch and sound for a memorable kids party.
When you are deciding the different factors of your party atmosphere, the first thing that you have to do is decide on the color scheme and theme of the party. Once you have done this, it will be easy to pull the look together. Some ideas for themes that can be used for kids parties include circus, animal safari, special holidays and favorite characters.
When you want to appeal to the sight of the guests, think about banners, balloons, table decorations and lighting effects. Be creative and try new ideas when you are choosing effects to delight the eye. You can decorate your regular lamps and lights with garlands, balloons and specialty fabrics. Other ideas include using sparkly lights, such as those used at Christmas, and specialty lamps for lighting effects.
When it comes to scent, you have a few different options. For children, it is not appropriate to use scented candles because of the potential for accidents. For children, scents that are age appropriate include fruit, bubble gum and other candy scents. You can find potpourri, soaps and party favors such as school supplies with the suitable scents for kids.
Taste is easy to accomplish whether you are cooking or buying the food. If your theme dictates certain foods, make sure that everyone will enjoy the meal. First, find out about any allergies that any child may have before preparing your menu. You can also find out what each child like and dislikes in advance. Once you are sure what you can and cannot serve, you will have an easier time appealing to all the children’s sense of taste. For varied tastes, you could provide a small buffet which serves something for everyone.
To appeal to the children’s sense of touch, you could have extra fluffy towels and specialty soap gel in the bathroom. You can also have games that rely on the sense of touch to play or win the game. The game and prizes that you choose are an easy way to appeal to your guest’s sense of touch.
Finally, sound will complete the atmosphere of your kids party. You can choose children’s themed music, popular music that is age appropriate or music that is associated with the party theme. Most music that is happy and upbeat will be appropriate to a kids party. In comparison to a silent party, a party with the right sound will be a welcome place for a great kids party.
Creating a fun atmosphere for kids parties is simple when you remember the five senses. If you do not deliver the goods for all five elements, a kids party could fall below your best expectations and be bland instead. By following these tips for creating atmosphere anywhere, you will be off to a great start at your next kids party.
