Take in Kenya's wilderness and wildlife on a safari to southern Kenya's Amboseli National Park, located in the shadow of Tanzania's snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain. Or spot lions and elephants in Tsavo National Park. You'll see rhinos and flamingos at Lake Nakuru, and migrating wildebeest in the Masai Mara Game Reserve during October. Meet the Turkana people near Lake Turkana in northern Kenya, the Kikuyu in the foothills of Mount Kenya and the famous Masai tribes in the south. Explore Kenya's coast, a long stretch of white-sand beach with coral reefs to snorkel off shore. Take trips to islands in the Indian Ocean, including laidback Lamu Island, where you can ride a donkey to the UNESCO World Heritage site: Lamu Town.

As you get ready to travel?

Here are some tips to give you peace of mind while you are away and make sure you do not make your house as a target of opportunity. These are some simple precautions from the experts.

• Be mindful of who is around when you are discussing your trip - there is no need to let too many people know or draw attention to the fact your house might be empty for a period.
• The best deterrent is to have someone housesit. If that is not possible, ask a trusted neighbor or friend to take in the newspaper, mail, and any other deliveries and keep an eye on the house. Give them your trip plans and an emergency phone number so they can reach you in case of an emergency. You can also arrange with the post office and newspaper to suspend delivery for the time you are away.
• Lock doors, windows and secure sliding doors (a metal rod or a broomstick in the sliding door track is an inexpensive lock), as well as the garage, the basement, and the attic. Some people even disconnect the power to motorized garage door openers.
• Move any valuables from plain sight.
• Check on your appliances, unplug anything that doesn't need to be on while you're away. Lower air conditioning/heating units to energy-saving levels.
• Set timers to turn on lights if you do not have someone staying at the house.
