Balla BallaHello Saeed ...
That looks like a very nice place to visit ... Just a thought, provided you have the time inclination and the logistics are not too tough, you might want to add to your Kenya experience and consider a side trip to see the Bongo breeding project at Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy, it is located at Mt. Kenya
Cheers, Peter

ivan carteryes saeed i have been there several times , richard bonnam is a spectacular host , the game is great and in the dry season their small watering hole in front of the lodge attracts some great elephant bulls , i have seen several in the 80-# class there ,
if you go be sure to take a day trip to amboselli , its about a three hour drive but again awesome elephant viewing when you get there ,,
what yuo will notice is interesting lava flows that encroach on the grassland so the viewing of forest animals as well as plains animals is great ..
if you are interested richard also does some great birdshoots from there at certain times of the year in particular the yellow necked spurfowl are great fun , there is a pipeline that brings water the the massai and where ever there are leaks the dove shooting can be great .
feel free to email me if you need details or pictures ivan@ivancarter.com

DeerdogsHi Saeed, I've been there too and I can highly recommend it. As soon as my children get past five years old I'll be taking the family there for a short break, only five hours from DXB. You may also want to consider the Aberdares (Treetops) and Mt Kenya (Mt Kenya Safari Club) which also have some interesting flora and fauna.
