The Dark Continent

Africa, sometimes referred to as ‘The Dark Continent’ has thousands of different cultures and along with that a cornucopia of different languages, customs and superstitions and although you couldn’t hope to experience them all, we hope to introduce you to a few when you embark on a luxury safari in Kenya. Depending on which location you select for your animal adventure you can expect to come into contact with one, or perhaps, more communities of indigenous people. Although we cover many countries in East Africa, we generally specialise in Kenya wildlife safaris and with more than 40 ethnic groups you are sure to gain a fascinating insight into the day to day lives of a differing array of people. The culture of this very special country is also enhanced by the steady influx of immigrants who have been arriving here for centuries and have added their own unique cultural mix to the melting pot. Of course the main reason why people from all over the world choose Kenyan safari tours over the more conventional holiday options is to see the animals. Documentary makers have been coming to Kenya for years and displaying the footage captured on their photographic extravaganzas for all to see on TVs in a plethora of countries. Although animal adventures are very popular due to the general accessibility of the animals, none of this would be possible without the input and guidance of the local people and at Kimbla-Mantana we realise this only too well.

Adventure and Intrigue

Although often marketed as a Kenya safari holiday, an African excursion is much more than a vacation, more of a once in a lifetime experience. If you have never been to East Africa before, the first thing you will notice is the seemingly endless landscape. From rolling green plains to savannahs, to snow topped mountain peaks, this particular part of Africa really is blessed by Mother Nature. Perhaps the most celebrated region for a Kenya wildlife safari are those in and around the Masai Mara. Stretching northwards from the Serengeti plains, this vast tract of land is the ideal place to spot the ‘big five’ and also if you are very lucky the endangered Black Rhinoceros. This area is also renowned for the local tribesmen whose lives’ today remain largely untainted by the relentless march of technology and continue with traditions which have been handed down through the generations. If you’d like to experience a wealth of wildlife in combination with a fascinating culture, Kenya safaris could be just what you have been looking for, please contact us for further details. However, the Masai Mara has to some extent been a victim of its own popularity, unregulated tourism to this area has also made its mark on both the landscape and the people. Kimbla –Mantana are very aware of their responsibility to the environment and the people who inhabit it as well, leading only low impact tour groups we are committed to leaving the environment exactly as we found it.

Luxury Kenya safaris

A common question we receive from our prospective adventure excursion guests is about the standard of accommodation provided on Kenyan safaris, there are a number of options available. The most popular option for the vast majority of guests embarking on a savannah experience are the authentic lodges. A typical lodge in this region will be constructed using local materials and more often than not blend seamlessly with the local environment and have unrestricted views of the landscape which makes for great viewing of animals in their natural environment. For those guests who like a swim, after a long day in the bush, some of the lodges come equipped with a swimming pool, what could be more relaxing? If you are under the impression that a Kenya safari company only deals with walking over arid bush land in the blazing heat for hours every day, please think again. Kimbla-Mantana are well placed to provide the best that a 4x4 adventure can possibly offer, capable of tackling a multitude of terrains this awesome mode of safari travel enables the intrepid animal spotter to reach places that would normally be inaccessible by any other mode of transport. If you have any special requirements in regard to itineraries, modes of transport or accommodation please don’t hesitate to contact us, simply provide a brief outline of what you want to do during your Kenya safari holidays and we will endeavour to design a tailor-made programme based on your exacting requirements.

Uganda Safaris

If you are considering an exhilarating adventure and have already experienced the delights of Kenya, why not consider moving slightly further afield and see what Uganda and Tanzania can offer? Kimbla-Mantana have extensive experience in these countries and can enable you to see some of the exclusive wildlife that inhabit these regions. One experience which is exclusive to Uganda is the world famous Uganda gorilla safari. Seeing these gentle, magnificent beasts in their natural environment is the main reason why people choose these excellent packages as opposed to the more traditional safari destinations. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in South Western Uganda is home to the mountain gorilla and a whole host of other wildlife as well, this region can be reached by 4x4 or alternately by charter flight from Entebbe. Seeing these majestic creatures at play in their natural habitat is undoubtedly the highlight of a person’s safaris in Uganda and comes complete with memories to cherish for a lifetime. To reiterate, Kimbla-Mantana are committed to responsible tourism and endeavour to help our valuable guests adopt the same attitude. Another gift from Mother Nature in Africa is the country of Tanzania, blessed with infinite numbers and varieties of wildlife, ancient tropical forests, lakes, beaches and also the world famous Mount Kilimanjaro make this country a shining jewel in the Dark Continent. The island of Zanzibar off the coast of Tanzania also attracts many tourists; why not combine a Tanzanian excursion with a stay on this famous island?
