The Five ‘A’ approach to Travel and Tourism
Attractions:
Cultural:
David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust: This is a place that rescues wild orphaned elephants and some rhinos. You can visit during feeding time at 11am-12pm.

Kazuri Beads Factory: The beads are crafted by local women living in the slums. You will learn how the beads are made and how much the women love their work. After the tour you will have the chance to purchase gifts made by these women.

Bomas of Kenya: The natural homestead in this village was made by the myriad Kenyan tribes. This village is natural and cultural and you can see traditional crafts, music and dance that this village does.

Jamia Mosque: The largest mosque in Nairobi and it is pa architectural design that is classically Arabic Muslim. It is a twin towers with 3 silver domes. Non-Muslims may not be permitted to enter the inside of the building.

Biophysical:
Ngong Hills: A walking trail that is scenic and historic. It is a 2.5 hours hike that costs 400KES to be let into the park and 1500KES for a security guard to accompany you on the hike.

Masai Mara National Reserve: Kenyan best wildlife park that is used to protect wildlife from the hunters. The Masai Mara is on the south of Kenya toward the Tanzania boarder. The Masai Mara is famous for seeing the big 5 even though it is considered a small game park. Something’s you can do in the Masai Mara are game drives, Walking safaris, Cultural tours with the Maasai, and hot air ballooning.

Mount Kenya: Africa’s second highest mountain that is so beautiful. The mountain provides over 50% of the population of Kenya water. There is an option of trekking up the mountain for 4 days long. As you trek you have the option of staying in mountain huts or camps.

Activities: Some activities that I would like to do while in Kenya are as follows. First I would like to visit the Masai Mara National Reserve. There I would like to go on the cultural tours with the Maasai to learn more about them. Another thing I would like to do is climb Mount Kenya and stay in one of the mountain cabins. Lastly I would like to the Bomas in Kenya and learn a traditional myriad dance.

Accommodation: While in Kenya I will be staying in the Nairobi International Youth Hostel that I used for my first night in Kenya. At some points-like on the mountain trek- I will be using other accommodations.

Access: There are busses that travel around Kenya and they are relatively cheap at around 100KES per hour ride.

Amenities: My amenities would be things like clean water and being able to bring my camera with me. Another amenity is warm water for bathing.
