3. Mzima Springs Tsavo National Park West
Mzima Springs are a series of four natural springs in Tsavo National Park, Kenya. They are located in the west of the Park, around 48 km from Mtito Andei. The source of the springs is a natural reservoir under the Chyulu Hills to the north. The Chyulu range is composed of volcanic lava rock and ash, which is too porous to allow rivers to flow. Instead, rain water percolates through the rock, and may spend 25 years underground before emerging 50 kilometres away at Mzima. The natural filtration process gives rise to Mzima's famously clear stream, which flows through a series of pools and rapids. Two kilometres downstream from the springs, the stream is blocked by a solidified lava flow and disappears below the surface again. Mzima is one of Tsavo's most popular wildlife attractions owing to ...

4. Makindu Sikh Temple Makindu
Sikh Temple Makindu is located about 104 miles from Nairobi on the main Nairobi to Mombasa Road. It was built in 1926 by the Sikhs who were working on the construction of the Uganda railway line from the coast inland to Lake Victoria and beyond to Uganda. Today, all types of people visit this Gurdwara everyday and it is a 'must-see' Gurdwara for any Sikh travelling to Kenya and East Africa. This holy Sikh shrine provides a peaceful atmosphere where one can meditate and calm one's mind before proceeding to join the rat-race again on the busy coastal road, the main arterial road from the coast to the capital, Nairobi.

Selinda Camp Botswana: Luxury Safari Great Plains Conservation / Selinda Reserve

| Enjoy the highlights of our stay at Selinda Camp Botswana, managed by Great Plains Conservation and partly owned renowned film-makers Dereck and Beverly Joubert. Selinda Camp shares the 1350 km² Selinda reserve with its sister camps, the adventurous Selinda Explorers and the opulent top-notch Zarafa Camp. Set in one of the most pristine wilderness areas left on our planet, the Selinda Camp rests on the banks of the eastern Selinda Spillway in northern Botswana. Great Plains Conservation came to Selinda Reserve in 2007, reclaiming this magnificent area from the shadows of hunting, and placing all the acreage under photographic tourism. Recent census (2012) shows an overall increase in wildlife, of considerable amount, and Selinda and its guests are a key component of this conservation success.

Eindrücke unseres Aufenthaltes im Selinda Camp (Botswana), das seit 2007 unter dem Management von Great Plains Conservation und den Teileigentümern Joubert von den Schattenseiten eines ursprünglichen Jagdgebietes befreit wurde, komplett unter Naturschutz gestellt und dem nachhaltigen Foto-Safari-Tourismus zugeführt wurde. Das Selinda Reserve gehört zu den spektakulärsten privaten Konzessionsgebieten in Botswana und beheimatet eine außergewöhnliche Artenvielfalt.

MagicalKenya - Mount Kenya Region

Mount Kenya is an awe-inspiring sight. Its ragged series of peaks are crowned with snow, and its slopes are thick with forest. The mountain is best seen at dawn, when the days early light silhouette its impressive summit high over the surrounding plains. While the 5199-metre summit is a difficult technical climb, any fit trekker can easily reach the lesser peak of Point Lenana (4985m). This trek takes between 3 and 5 days, through a fascinating world of forests, wildlife, and unique montane vegetation including podocarpus and groundsel, and finally one of the world's rarest sights, equatorial snow.

Great Plains Conservation

Great Plains Conservation is an initiative to help curb this downward spiral of our threatened natural world by being proactive today, and by applying what we know best. This is the development of a sound conservation model, which is sustainably funded by a blend of sensitive, low volume, low impact tourism, frequently coupled with the sale of carbon credits and in some cases with the sale of a small number of villas or bush-homes. Together, these private sector initiatives create the capital needed to help fund the overall conservation initiatives. Our primary ambition is to create of a number of flagship, or gold standard conservation programs in areas that previously have been deemed unsalvageable. Our hope is that these conservation initiatives will become successful, sustainable and inspire others around the world to replicate the model.
