2. Do the Rhino Charge
	This is a completely crazy off road driving competition which involves teams using a 4x4 car to get from A to B in the shortest possible distance! Cars are winched up and down cliffs, through rivers etc. It’s a blast! All proceeds go to conservation efforts to save the rhino.

3. Have a sundowner on your porch in the bush
	Whether you’re in Amboseli, the Mara, Tsavo or Samburu, it’s always nice to end the day looking out over the expanse of African bush and reflecting on the days events

4. See a millon wildebeest cross the Mara river
	This migration of over a million wildebeest happens every year. If you’re there at the right time, you’ll see these ungainly animals leaping through the crocodile infested waters and it’s a phenomenon that you’ll never forget.

5. Spot your very own leopard
	You can’t beat spotting animals for yourself. It’s a rare to do though, as Kenyan guides are usually great at spotting an elusive leopard at the top of a tree or a cheetah lying low in the long grass, poised, ready to give chase

13. Swim with dolphins
	Go on snorkeling trip in Wasini. Look at the colourful fish, swimming in, and around the coral reef right next to you. Find giant clams, sea turtles and octopus and if you’re lucky- your dhow will be escorted by dolphins. You never know, maybe you could even swim together!
