Over the past year, Ker & Downey Safaris has forged links with Australia’s
premier Safari operator, Outback Encounter. This new partnership has been
inspired by my own Australian heritage, and will no doubt prove to be fruitful
for ties between these two countries close to my heart.
For anyone who has ever marveled at the beauty of Africa’s wildlife
and scenery, Australia will hold similar splendour. From historic homesteads
on half-million acre properties in the outback, to Reef resorts in topical
north Queensland, Australia boasts a diverse geography and a wide variety
of activities to revel in.
Ker & Downey Safaris has chosen Outback Encounter to partner with
because it is one of the rare Australian tour operators that maintains
similar standards of service in guiding, accommodation, exclusivity, and
management. We can be sure that we are offering our discerning guests the
same quality of experience they have shared with us for over fifty years
in the African bush. To be able to offer such a rich introduction to another
continent steeped in legend for its people and its wilderness is indeed
a pleasure for us here in Kenya. Outback Encounter’s managing director,
Drew Kluska, has close ties to Kenya. He spent two years working on Lewa
Downs Conservancy, which many of my guests visit. Drew has pioneered the
same class of holiday that he experienced during his years in Kenya, and
has come up with a product second to none for an Aussie Safari!
One of Outback Encounter’s top Guides is Tana Jane (T.J.) McCaldin.
TJ grew up in Kenya and is in fact related to our very own Syd Downey,
certainly as strong a Ker & Downey connection as we could hope for
anywhere in the world! She has now lived in tropical Queensland for the
past 15 years.
Be sure to let me know if you would like to learn more about going On
Safari Down Under. And if you are interested in making an inquiry, just
have a look at the website www.OutbackEncounter.com , and be sure to let
Drew or his staff know that you have been referred by their Kenya partner,
Ker & Downey Safaris.
