Claudious Tours and Safaris

This sultry area offers interesting things to see, beaches to relax on and beautiful nature reserves to visit. Mombassa lies on the coast and is a bustling city with a history stretching back to the 12th century. There is a vibrant mixture of cultures, architecture and entertainment. At the Shimba Hills National Reserve, you will encounter a lovely forest setting with elephant, leopard and the rare, sable antelope. Towards the south, there are a number of beaches and resort hotels.

The beaches are white and sandy with coral reefs to delight scuba and skin divers. On the pleasant Shimoni and Wasini islands there is authentic Swahili culture and a protected marine reserve. North of Mombasa there are several beaches like Nyali, Bamburi, Shanzu, Kikambala and Vipingo that are well-worth a visit. It is here that you will find the exotic town of Kilifi, home to artists and adventurers from all over the world.

The morning begins by transferring you to the dhow “Nawalikher” while in mombasa and would like to do some ocean tour, meaning Gateway to Heaven. Sail gently down the Mombassa creek while you sip cocktails and your tour leader points out places of interest and recalls anecdotes of the East Africa coast’s colorful past. An excellent four course dinner with a choice of seafood or a meat course is the highlight of the evening.

The second day you can also some city tour around the town. The day begins with a tour of Mombassa, including a visit to the famous Fort Jesus and the Akamba wood carvers. After lunch at a local restaurant, travel to Haller Park (formerly known as the Bamburi Nature Trail). The area was reclaimed from a coal quarry and turned into a nature trail. Hippos, buffalo, antelope and bird-life may be seen together with fish that is to be found on the Fish Farm within the park.

These are some of the best hotels that we have along the coastal region of Kenya. When in Kenya I would recommend you use some of these hotels you will love it.

Enjoy Your Vacation With Beach Wheelchairs

Posted: April 22nd, 2010 | Author: admin | Filed under: Travel For Disabled | Tags: , , , | 1 Comment »

Do you long to visit sandy stretches of beaches and bask in the Florida sun? Are you unable to do so because of physical problems that have impaired your mobility? You can once again enjoy a beautiful sun-drenched vacation by using beach wheelchairs that allow you to roll your chair right up to the water’s edge!

These chairs are designed to offer custom features including headrests or lateral supports for people who require additional support. In addition, they are manufactured to permit people to recline at varying angles, from upright to completely reclining positions.

Designed especially for the beach, many beach wheelchairs also feature umbrella supports or drink holders. These supports are attached to stainless steel frames designed to prevent corrosion by salt or water. Sometimes, builders use materials that are even more resistant to rust than the stainless steel used in boats!

The wheels of these chairs are manufactured from nylon materials to prevent corrosion. In addition, a unique, patented system allows wheel mechanisms to work so that all four wheels remain in contact with the ground even when going over uneven areas. These wheels can even travel along the water’s edge.

Unless one makes frequent trips to a beach, these chairs may be expensive and cumbersome to bring along on vacation. For this reason, many states have adopted programs that offer free beach wheelchairs to visitors. Many Massachusetts, Hawaii, and South Carolina beaches assist disabled persons to enjoy the sun and sand through similar programs.

One state in particular has become a strong advocate of beach wheelchairs. California supplies free beach wheelchairs to disabled guests on request at nearly every beach. The California Coastal Commission believes that every individual has a right to experience the beach, and has committed itself to making this possible.

Many wheelchairs offered through this state program are manually operated, so someone able to help users operate the chairs must accompany them. Some, however, are motorized. Reservation requirements vary with each beach, so potential beach-goers should inquire into the requirements before scheduling a visit.

If you or someone you love is disabled, don’t banish your dreams of a sunny vacation on a warm, sandy beach. You may have to do a little bit of research to locate a beach that offers beach wheelchairs, or perhaps invest in your own, but you don’t have to be stuck on the boardwalk at these relaxing destinations!

http://www.Wheel-Chair-Center.com is a website fully devoted to giving you the very best information regarding wheelchairs and wheelchair accessories. Whether you’re looking to find the best wheelchairs available and you’d like to know your options with beach wheelchairs, or you simply want to know the advantages of portable wheelchair ramps, we’ve got you covered!
