Believe it or not hundreds of thousands of people travel to Kenya every year just to see the animals. There are lions, leopards, elephants, cape buffalo, rhino, giraffe, gazelle and wart hogs , just to name a few, that are alive and well and walking around in the game parks. Although you can no longer kill them (thank God) you can get mighty close to them to either photograph or just enjoy watching them go about doing whatever it is they do. There is also a huge variety of bird life. To add to all that, the land itself is some of the most gorgeous on the planet and extremely varied. There are mountains, deserts, savanna's, rivers, oceans and forests. The air is clean, the scenery fantastic and the joys of getting that close to both Nature the place where man was born is hard to describe. Just being there seems to do something to many a visitors soul. A night spent under canvas in Kenya is said to cure a host of problems known to mankind.
