Imagine the thrill of setting foot in a land where the untamed beauty of nature unfolds before your eyes—Kenya, a destination where adventure, culture, and wildlife converge in a spectacular symphony.

From the vast savannahs of the Maasai Mara to the rugged peaks of Mount Kenya, this East African gem offers an unforgettable safari experience like no other.

Venture into the heart of the wild, where lions prowl the golden plains, elephants roam freely, and cheetahs race across the horizon. The world-famous Maasai Mara, home to the Great Migration, promises a front-row seat to one of nature's most awe-inspiring spectacles. Beyond wildlife, Kenya's rich cultural tapestry awaits—meet the Maasai warriors, learn about the traditions of the Samburu, or relax back at the luxury lodge with a frosty beverage in your hand.

Kenya’s allure lies in its magic, where every moment promises the adventure of a lifetime. Ready to experience it for yourself? Your unforgettable safari awaits. The parks you will visit include...

Maasai Mara
World-renowned for the breathtaking spectacle of ‘the greatest wildlife show on earth’, the awe inspiring annual migration of the wildebeest, the Mara is Kenya’s most visited protected area. Technically an extension of Tanzania’s renowned Serengeti National Park, the Mara constitutes only 4% of the entire Serengeti ecosystem but its rolling grasslands, meandering rivers, and towering escarpments offer one of the world’s most rewarding and evocative wildlife arenas. Of all the places to experience and photograph the Big Five in their natural stomping grounds, the Mara stands alone as king of the parks.

Aberdare National Park & Mt Kenya
Ringed by the chill and misty moorlands of the third highest mountain range in Kenya, the atmospheric Aberdare National Park was dubbed ‘Scotland with Lions’ by the early colonialists. As well as lions, the park also offers elephants, lichen-hung forests, spectacular waterfalls and trout-filled streams.

The Rugged Three: Samburu, Shaba, & Buffalo Springs National Reserve
Beautiful natural springs and lush green in the middle of an otherwise arid landscape, these rugged and remote wildlife reserves provide some of the best and most colorful game viewing in the country.

Lake Nakuru National Park
Small in size but high in wildlife, Nakuru is the most famous of the Great Rift Valley lakes, and the ideal stopover en-route to the Maasai Mara. Perhaps most famous as the home to a shifting population of over an enormous amount of flamingos, it's also Kenya’s first and largest rhino sanctuary; sightings of both black and white rhino almost guaranteed!

MEDITATION
We have heard and read of the positive benefits from Meditation. Meditation can help slow the mind and open the heart. The only thing we control is our attitude. Personal changes and transformation are an ‘Inside Job’. Go within as we attract not what we want but what we are.
Physical Benefits of Meditation
With meditation, the physiology undergoes a change and every cell in the body is filled with more energy. This results in joy, peace, and enthusiasm as the level of energy in the body increases.
On a physical level, meditation:
· Lowers high blood pressure
· Lowers the levels of blood lactate, reducing anxiety attacks
· Decreases tension-related pain, such as, tension headaches, ulcers, insomnia, muscle and joint problems
· Increases serotonin production that improves mood and behavior
· Improves the immune system
· Increases the energy level, as you gain an inner source of energy
Mental Benefits of Meditation
Meditation brings the brainwave pattern into a relaxed state that promotes healing. The mind becomes fresh, delicate and beautiful. With regular practice of meditation:
· Anxiety decreases
· Emotional stability improves
· Creativity increases
· Happiness increases
· Intuition develops
· Gain clarity
· Problems become smaller
Meditation sharpens the mind by increasing focus and expands through relaxation
A sharp mind without expansion causes tension, anger and frustration
An expanded consciousness without sharpness can lead to lack of action/progress
The balance of a sharp mind and an expanded consciousness brings perfection
Meditation makes you aware - that your inner attitude determines your happiness.
