Easter Holiday In The Kenyan Beaches

MOMBASA AND THE CORAL COAST

Mombasa Town


The Kenya coast belt is a distinctive part of Kenya’s unrivaled attractions. It is integrated circuit whose history goes back to over one thousand years. It is home of the Miji Kenda civilization (the nine communities who inhabit the area) and whose dialects gave the basis of the Kiswahili language, Kenya’s official lingua Franca. The dialect evolved here and is now spoken in East and Central Africa. The island town of Mombasa is the main sea gate on the East African Coastline and is Kenya’s second major metropolis and cruise ship centre. The island port of Mombasa and the four hundred and eighty kilometers coastline have been in recorded history for generations. Evidence exists to the effect that along its shores Ptolemy’s informants’ visited followed by the Phoenicians in the sixth century, Persians in the ninth and tenth centuries and thereafter Arabs, Turks and Portuguese.
Coral Reefs

Chinese porcelain from the Sung era to Early Ming which is found extensively through excavations in some parts of the coast underscores the extent to which gold, ivory and slaves left the port for distant lands.

Mombasa has had a turbulent history as a symbolized by Mombasa, a massive fortification built and completed by the Portuguese. Being the gateway to East Africa, the Kenya coast has a striking and colorful mixture of people and cultures that have defied the passage of time. Beyond the palm fringed white sandy beaches and extending from the North to South lies a spectacular coral barrier reef which runs for a distance of four hundred and eighty kilometers and teems with wonders of under water explosions in the blue lagoons and creeks. The area has an over whelming cliffs. These attractions coupled with a variety of entertainment and superb accommodation facilities make the Kenyan coast an incomparable holiday circuit for both beach and nature lovers. Kenya’s colorful coral coast is a playground for sun and worshippers who are an addition may also enjoy the rich variety of attractions that make Kenya a unique tourist destination.

WORLD'S LARGEST EXODUS; THE ANNUAL WILDEBEEST MIGRATION


The rains are approaching, animals are starting to shift, the pride are now settling towards the Mara River Bank and the African Tropical air is getting tensed both with anxiety and fear you can even smell blood in the air.
This is one epic, magical, marvelous and indescribable  battle of the ages between top ranking African beasts that you can afford to miss. The Great Migration is the largest overland migration in the world. The animals travel a total of 800km or more during each cycle.gallery


In the green corner, traveling in millions and full of determination  and optimistic are the mighty wildebeests accompanied by their long time comrades the zebras and the galloping antelopes. Many calves get separated from their mothers when the herds panic (which happens frequently) or cross rivers or lakes in their path. Think they got a chance this year?

http://annemckinnell.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/tanzania_20140921__MG_6563-Edit-2.jpg

In the Red corner packed with pounds of muscles, bone and claws are the lions also accompanied by the "African Sahara flash"-the cheetahs and Africa's stealth killer the mysterious leopard and not forgetting the Africa's top scavengers the sneaky hyena and the ravenous vultures. All impatiently waiting for the heard to cross the Mara River.

Standing tall  on the blue corner are the world's top surviving creatures, with meat crunching jaws and teeth and packed with a tonne of equipped hunting skills are the undisputed crocodiles. Their hunting ground is the  water and this is where they come in the great wildebeest migration.
The crocodiles awaiting the herds in the Mara River drown their prey by clutching them in their strong jaws and pulling them below the water, twisting them to break off bite-size pieces. A crocodile can lunge more than half of its body length out of the water to grab a potential victim and can also use its tail as a secondary weapon.
There is no any other shortcut the wildebeests can use apart from crossing the Mara river. It is either do or die trying.
