Embrace Kenya's Nature And Wildlife On Your Getaway
Kenya is a vast land that is home to some of
the world's most amazing and endangered wildlife. The landscape in Kenya is
often harsh and unforgiving; especially during the heavy rain falls.
While nature has learned to adapt to the conditions, there are cases when
the wild life face dangerous moments, and may need help. A guest at the
Sanctuary Olonana witnessed a mother wildebeest crossing the Mara River, but
left her calf in the strong current struggling to swim across. Nearby, a
female hippo was watching the struggle, and to the guests relief, came to
the calfs rescue, pushing it towards the river bank, assisting the young
calf to swim across to its mother!
The Sanctuary Olonana offers more
animal sightings and activities to share with loved ones. They also offer a
unique and enriching family safari experience for families. The Sanctuary
Olonana's recent deals for family getaway include the Family Safari Special,
in which any child under 16 years who shares a tent with his or her parents
stay for free.
