Serengeti Migration
Serengeti migration is something which happens nowhere else in the
world. Thousands of wildebeests move collectively and on the way they are
joined by massive herds of zebras and gazelles. Migrating animals move
clockwise in circular route. Serengeti migration is annual and peaks in
different parts of Kenya at different time. Whenever the moving herbivores
cross path with lions, they provide them with nice feast.
If you plan your
honeymoon in Kenya in such a way that you and the moving
animals are on the same place at same time, it would be highly rewarding.
Beaches
Kenyan beaches, although on lower pedestal than its wildlife, can challenge
the beaches of any other part of the world. Eastern boundary of the country
is an unbroken line of blue, an azure strip of ocean lying within the
protective shelter of reef. The Kenyan coastline is the coming together of
soft white sands and gentle sea breeze. Here you can mark the passing of a
day by the slow arc of the sun. The lifestyle on the beaches is slow,
languid and relaxed.
