Kenya Golf Safaris, a New Found African Green Pearl

There is no better place to enjoy a round and watch the sun set with tropical green mixed with year round warm climate and endless opportunities with no crowds.

You will for sure spot the wildlife laze and watch the game too. The color full bird life will fetch the ball with you ò€“ but that we cannot promise that bit.

Kenya is home to over 37 golf courses. Most were made during the colonial British era. The country is home to the magnificent safaris, amazing wildlife and stunning sceneries that movie makers just discovered, go ahead and ask Angelina Jones.

At the International Association of Golf Tours Operators (IAGTO) awards 2009. They just named Kenya ò€˜The Undiscovered Golf Destination of the Year.ò€™ The purpose polished resorts offering international cuisine are all award winners in their own different ways.

Names like Mr. Berkley Mathews, Ballesteroes and Woosnam are a common feature. Vijay Singh got started off in Kenya years ago.

A Kenyan safari holiday could be captured to run together with the world best wildlife safari opportunities, married with golf breaks in Nairobi city, upcountry and eventually coastal. That can take about 8 days or so to enjoy a comprehensive memorable safari and golf package.

Some of the Kenyaò€™s finest golf resorts include Sigona Club, founded around 1938. The clubs eighteen ò€“ hole course, offers its members most beautiful fairways and only 18 kilometers from Nairobi city.

Muthaiga Golf Club lies at the edge of the most preserved forest in Nairobi. Itò€™s a convenient swing from your Nairobi base. This course is classified as the most challenging of all for both professional and amateur players. Bunkers are located on the fast paced greens resulting to players spending lots of time in the bankers.

Located on the foot hills of Mount Kenya is Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Golf Course, nine hole course is strategically placed next to the awe inspiring sight of Kenyaò€™s largest Mountain popular with mountain climbers and technical hikers.

Fairmount is originally the retreat of movie star and club founder, William Holden. Former members include Winston Churchill and Bing Crosby. Herds of Zebra and giraffe roam peacefully under the warmth of Kenyan sun.

Windsor Golf Resort is a master piece; some times we wonder why The Trump Corporation has not tried to put in some money on it.

Just outside Nairobi city, the course is defined by itò€™s high and low terrain as it threads its way through coffee farms and forestation giving itself character and design quality. Windsor is located a mile above the sea level and boasts of lush fairways, fast greens, attractive water hazards and some 73 well located sand bankers.

Leisure Lodge Beach & Golf Resort together with Nyali Golf & Country Club are both situated along the white sandy beaches of the Kenyaò€™s coastal line. This stunning stretch of coastal line, views of the calm blue waters of the Indian Ocean is full of fun activities for those looking for an afternoon break away from golf to enjoy the never ending tranquility.

My advice to the those seeking a sport holiday break with a combination of golf and safari adventure, lease out the clubs in Nairobi and enjoy a ten days package to include two nights accommodation in Nairobi. Play at both Windsor and Muthaiga then take a two hour drive down the rift valley, stopping at Limuru Golf and Country Club to enjoy the cool climate and the smell for the popular tea farms.

The third night accommodation at The Great Rift Valley Golf Resort is well worth the drive. Carefully designed by Thomas Fjaasd, the ground was described by the Irish professional David Jones as the best young course he has ever played on. He broke the 71 par here.

After you enjoy the stunning rift valley views and the picturesque escarpment take a short drive in Lake Nakuru National Game Reserve, made popular by the resident white rhinos and millions of pink flamingos, if itò€™s your luck day the leopardò€™s family will be looking down at you from the acacia trees as you drive out.

On the fourth or fifth night my advice is pack the clubs and make the whole Kenya holiday worthwhile to your wife.

Take a three hours drive or a 45 minutes scheduled flight into the world renowned Masai Mara Game Reserve, stay in for three or two nights and as you think of how well you could have played at the rift valley resort, she will be marveled by the abundant wildlife scenes and will most likely than not take that much talked about hot air Balloon dawn trip.

Now, after Masai Mara you will fly down to the coast and wrap up your holiday with a tee off at Nyali beach course.

Credible rumor has it that Ronald Trump is currently pursuing a multi million dollar deal to rehabilitate the Nairobi Railway Golf Course, we all know what that can only mean if all works out. Has he ever failed in any of his ambitions?

London Travel Guide

London is everything you would expect from a Capital City with a lot of history and more, and the good news now thanks to the irresponsibility of bankers worldwide is that London is not as expensive to visit as it has been for the last 10 or more years.The pound hasn"t quite sunk without trace though, it still has some value but because the London"s economy is so closely linked to banking and financial services the pound was hit pretty hard and that means that your Dollar, Yen or Euro is going to buy so much more.When people talk about London or indeed England they usually mention rain, but because of global warming summers in London are warm to hot these days, and that makes sightseeing a dream and it has to be said there are so many sights both old and new to see, the Queen and The London Eye are on the top of most people"s list, but those lists will just goes on and on.One great way to take in most of the sights of London is a river trip, because like most very old cities London was built on first one then both banks of a river, in London"s case the River Thames.From a river boat you will be able to take in the Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, The Houses of Parliament, The South Bank Arts Complex, The Globe Theatre a reproduction of a theatre from the time of Shakespeare, the Tower of London while gliding effortlessly under famous bridges like London Bridge and Tower Bridge and of course see so much more.As well as the river London is famous for large open spaces of green and you can escape from the almost constant noise of this City that simply refuses to sleep for a moment into the delightful parks like St. James" Park which lies behind Downing Street where the British Prime Minister has his official residence.Surprisingly you can wander the length of the Mall and still be in St James" Park down passed Duck and even Pelican Ponds to Buckingham Palace where the Queen of Great Britain has her official residence. You can even check to see if she is at home by looking to see if the Royal Standard is flying above the Palace. You will be lucky to see her "at home" though because the Queen favours Windsor Palace which is about 20 miles to the west of London where it is quieter and less polluted. London is a sightseers" dream, there is always something around the corner, from the blue plaque on the wall of the flat where Jimi Hendrix died at the back of Oxford Street to the beautifully restored St Pancras station now home to the International Rail (Channel Tunnel) Rail Service but for so many years a derelict condemned building. At night even more of London comes alive and as well as being able to enjoy some excellent free live music in the caf?and bars there is the exciting sight of the river-scape alive with lasers lights and often fireworks.London is not to be missed and that is why it is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world and so it is probably no surprise that there are enough hotel beds in London to sleep the populations of dozens of major cities worldwide! The surprise would be that most of these hotel beds are booked well in advance and so careful planning is required to get a great hotel at just the right price.A good way to do that would be to use a website where you can compare prices and availability, though there are dozens of these here is an honest recommendation bookingspot.
