| Nairobi Snake Park Now Re-opens |

The
Nairobi Snake Park has re-opened! The reptile park that closed
in 2008 for expansion is now a haven for nature enthusiasts.
The park remains popular to many including tourists, researchers
and school groups for its diversity. Through the Kenya Government
support the park has taken a modern look.
As a host of a variety of unique reptile species including
cobras, puff adders, mambas and the large African-Rock python
some found only in Kenya, this offers quite an experience.
Others include species of crocodile found in Africa, the American
alligator, fresh water terrapins and tortoises are also on
display. Aquariums holding coral fish from the East African
lakes and rivers are also part of the park. This makes a great
excursion while in Nairobi before proceeding for safari or
just after safari.

End of 2009 |
The end of 2009 remains
memorable to the team of Private Safaris. A three day beach
holiday to the coast marked an excellent way to wrap up the
year.
This was marked by the coming together of the entire team
within East Africa.
A Christmas Party, home away from home was an experience of
a life time at the exclusively reserved Bahari Dhow Villas.
A myriad of activities spiced up the whole experience starting
with in house breakfast preparation followed by activities
including snorkeling, marine viewing on glass bottom boat
and Go Karting. Other activities were beach soccer and volley
ball and much more.
An evening party duped Tamasha meaning celebrations climaxed
the entire event. Speeches were received from existing, outgoing
and incoming directors. Having performed remarkably well in
service, various employees were awarded certificates of excellence
alongside a token of appreciation.
It was a beautiful time to re-unite through celebration and
actually experience some of our incredible products firsthand.
