The origins of tourism in Eastern Africa go back to early colonial days when British colonists fell for the drama of the nature, the concentration of wildlife and the agreeable climate. Attracted by the stories that were brought back home, wealthy would-be adventurers from Britain soon came over to witness this mysterious part of the world with their own eyes. They brought with them a style of traveling that combines simple and sumptuous elements and which with its authenticity captivates the imagination of the modern traveler.
As a result, Eastern African lodges and camps are frequently rated among the best in the world and their imaginative and tasteful design and furnishing is an eye-opener to even the most-traveled globetrotter . Thus, Kenya and Tanzania have become synonymous for traveling in style in one of the last wild frontiers on earth where the stories of early settlers and famous hunters come to life while sipping a Gin Tonic, watching the incredibly bright stars and listen to the mysterious sounds of the night at the open fire after a gourmet dinner. |
