HOLIDAYS 



IN KENYA 

 December 20, 1994 

 January 3, 1995 



December is a glorious month to 

 visit Kenya and enjoy the Africa 

 bush under canvas. Join the 

 American Museum this hoHday 

 season for a very special safari to 

 Kenya's finest game parks. 

 Kenya's charms are many: the 

 famous herds of game in Masai 

 Mara are spectacular and accessi- 

 ble; the views from escarpments 

 embracing the Great Rift Valley 

 are sublime; the semi-arid 

 Northern Frontier District shim- 

 mers with magical light at dusk; 

 and the morning air in the 

 Aberdare Mountains is incompa- 

 rably invigorating. Join us for an 

 unforgettable holiday experience.
