Kenya Calls
by Jim Langford

The mystery and beauty of the African continent has enticed explorers, traders and their fellow travelers for centuries.

Today, with enhanced travel packages, better roads and transportation, greater airline access, comfortable accommodations - and in many cases luxurious ones - today's traveler can enjoy an active vacation that takes them to many of the remote spots of Africa. Locations that at one time were accessible only by safari.

And what better way for your clients to discover the Africa of everyone's imagination than by you promoting the land that provided the character and color for Hemingway's novels, the land of Jane Goodall's extensive chimpanzee research and the home of Karen Blixen.

Nowhere on the continent does the Africa of the mind come to life in a greater diversity of wildlife, vast plains as far as the eye can see and spectacular mountains, than in Kenya.

Big Five Tours & Expeditions of Stuart, Fla., offers a unique two-week package to Kenya that your clients, who seek adventure travel, will embrace wholeheartedly. The package, referred to as Savage Paradise, is limited to 18 passengers, which makes the travel more accommodating, and helps everyone establish some nice friendships and conversations.
