SAFARI is what this trip is all about! SAFARI is Swahili for "Journey" and it is in Kenya that Safaris began. Magnificent National Parks and Game Reserves brim with Wildlife. Lush forests, breathtaking mountains and tribal cultures plus the amazing quality and variety of bird life, make Kenya a fascinating destination.
The 500 kilometers of golden beaches at the Kenyan Coast, welcomes our brothers and sisters to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. It is perhaps the wildlife more than anything that draws visitors to Kenya, boasting some of the finest reserves in Africa - you will be thrilled at the sight of lions, leopards, cheetah, elephants, giraffe, buffaloes, hippos and rhinos freely roaming the wild just like Jehovah purposed!
The visions in one's mind about the New System that is fast approaching, will take on a new meaning - however, stay in the Tour Van and enjoy the ride! This is an exclusive BCT African trip designed and operated by Jehovah’s Witnesses for Jehovah’s Witnesses, their family and friends.
