Kenya and Tanzania offers unlimited
opportunities to enrich a visit to
the country with visits to
establishments of special interest
and meetings with professionals in a
particular field. There is a whole
range of subjects which may be
encompassed in a purpose built
itinerary.
Kenya and Tanzania have a
predominantly agriculture economy,
with agriculture, horticulture,
livestock, forestry and fishing
accounting for a sizeable percentage
of the Gross Domestic Product. Most
important cash crops are coffee and
tea grown in the cool fertile
uplands.
Archaeologically, East Africa is of
world-wide interest being the
discovery site for some extremely
important excavations and findings.
The coastline of Kenya and Tanzania
bears the remains of the many
foreign peoples who have passed
through its shores in the last 1000
years of history - Chinese,
Persians, Arabs, Portuguese...;
traders and invaders who have left a
fascinating collection of coastal
antiquities.
For lovers of geology and gemology,
a safari combined with opportunities
of meeting local enthusiasts and
visits to areas of mineralogical
interest can be an exciting
experience. The volcanic eruptions
that have taken place have created
fascinating structures of earth
variations.
Tropical fruits such as pineapples,
paw paws, bananas, mangoes, cashews
and macadamias are all grown in
Kenya and Tanzania for home
consumption and export. In the
farming centre of Nakuru, it is
possible to visit a pyrethrum
factory (Kenya produces almost 80%
of the total world production). In
addition, this area is ideally
suited to ranching with fine herds
of beef cattle as is Naivasha and
Nanyuki, with Boran, Sahiwal,
Charolais and Hereford breeds.
There are four championship golf
courses in and around Nairobi and
nearly 30 courses throughout Kenya
and Tanzania, all in beautiful
settings. The Kenya Open (handicap
3 or under) attracts world golfing
stars during the months of February
and March and the Kenya Amateur
Championships (handicap seven of
less) in November.
For deep sea fishing fans, between
the months of October and March
there are opportunities of landing
record marlin, mako shark and
sailfish as well as a plethora of
game fish including kingfish,
bonito, felusi and black runner
along the coastline. During this
period regular competitions are held
in which overseas visitors are
encouraged to participate.
