Kenya_2

If African "big cats" and the "super tuskers" are left on your list of things you must see, then Kenya is the place you need to visit soon before they are gone. The magnificent African elephants with the longest and widest tusks are concentrated in Kenya. There are roughly a couple dozen of these magnificent beasts still
roaming the savannas of Kenya. These "super tuskers" of Kenya are of a specific genetic variation that allows their tusks to grow faster and longer. Craig (see above) is an iconic example of such a "super tusker". In Kenya, Africas big cats are plentiful and promise to incite adrenaline-surges while observing at close range. Kenya may be the only African country to have melanistic leopards and servals - a genetic mutation which causes the fur to be jet black. They are one of the most stunning animals to be seen and photographed.
