… Dear madam, sir,
Last september and october we have visited Uganda and Tanzania. In Uganda we were impressed by the number and big variety of animals and beautifull birds we have spotted, most of the times very close by. Uganda has a lot to offer especially since the people are very friendly, great parks and wildlife to explore and the accomodations fairly priced.
As we had some wonderfull experiences with local tour operators and hotels especially in Uganda we would like to recommend them to you.
Via the internet we found Micheal of Sunlink Travel Adventures Ltd. We’d like to highly recommend him as he provided us with a well balanced six days safari including gorilla and chimpansee tracking, game drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park, and a visit to Kibali forest. It was absolutely great to have seen gorilla’s this close. The accomodations were very clean, comfortable and the staff very kind. But most of all our driver and guide Eddy, assisted by Evelyn made this trip a marvellous experience. Very good value!
Another trip to Jinja and Mbale with Sunlink travel adventures was well arranged by Micheal Kasadha, Mbale resort hotel turned out to be an very good hotel with good kitchen.
Last but not least New city annex hotel. Great value considering the prices for the rooms and the location in the center of the city. Moreover the restaurant of this hotel served very good food, in a nice ambience. The service and prices were more and better than we had estimated.
We hope that any of this information is usefull for your guides and internet websites.
Best regards,
Mirjam Keijzer … |

The Republic of Kenya is a country in East Africa. It is bordered by Ethiopia to the north, Somalia to the northeast, Tanzania to the south, Uganda to the west, and Sudan to the northwest, with the Indian Ocean running along the southeast border. The country is named after Mount Kenya, a very significant landmark and the second highest mountain in Africa.
The Portuguese were the first Europeans to explore the region of current-day Kenya, Vasco da Gama having visited Mombasa in 1498. Gama's voyage was successful in reaching India and this permitted the Portuguese to trade with the Far East directly by sea, thus challenging older trading networks of mixed land and sea routes, such as the Spice trade routes that utilized the Persian Gulf, Red Sea and caravans to reach the eastern Mediterranean. The Republic of Venice had gained control over much of the trade routes between Europe and Asia.
After traditional land routes to India had been closed by the Ottoman Turks, Portugal hoped to use the sea route pioneered by Gama to break the once Venetian trading monopoly. Portuguese rule in East Africa focused mainly on a coastal strip centred in Mombasa.
At 224,961 square miles (582,646 km²), Kenya is the world's forty-seventh largest country (after Madagascar). From the coast on the Indian Ocean the Low plains rise to central highlands. The highlands are bisected by the Great Rift Valley; a fertile plateau in the east.
The Kenyan Highlands comprise one of the most successful agricultural production regions in Africa. The highlands are the site of the highest point in Kenya (and the second highest in Africa): Mount Kenya, which reaches 5,199 metres (17,057 ft) and is also the site of glaciers. Climate varies from tropical along the coast to arid in the interior.
Kenya has considerable land area of wildlife habitat, including the Masai Mara, where Blue Wildebeest and other bovids participate in a large scale annual migration. Up to 250,000 blue wildebeest perish each year in the long and arduous movement to find forage in the dry season.
 The "Big Five" animals of Africa can also be found in Kenya: the lion, leopard, buffalo, rhinoceros and elephant. A significant population of other wild animals, reptiles and birds can be found in the national parks and game reserves in the country. The environments of Kenya is threatened by high population growth and its side effects.
Kenya enjoys a tropical climate. It is hot and humid at the coast, temperate inland and very dry in the north and northeast parts of the country. There is however a lot of rain between the months March and May and moderate rain in October and November.The temperature does remain high throughout these months. |
