Few countries rival the
vacation attractions of Kenya,
Africa's most popular - and
most complete - travel des
tination.
This massive land o f fasci
nation stretches from luxury
resorts of the Indian Ocean
coast to the source o f the
Nile, Lake Victoria; from the
continent's most sophisticat
ed capital, Nairobi, to the
first known settleinent of man
near Lake Rudolf; from semi-
desert to grassy plain, from
green valleys to mighty snow
capped Mount Kenya.
In mile-high Nairobi, the
ancient port city of Mombasa,
the towns and villages, you'll
encounter some of the friend
liest people you'll ever want
to meet. In the vast game
parks, you'll be introduced
to some of Kenya's most
honored citizens: elephant
and lion, giraffe and hippo,
wildebeesle and warthog.
Warm sunny days and cool
crisp nights create an atmos
phere that’s ideal for game
viewing, photography, moun
tain
climbing,
swimming,
hunting, fishing the list is
endless.
Safari tours, costing as
little as $900 -5 1 ,2 0 0 includ

city in the world with a
major game park no more
than a 15 minute drive from
downtown hotels - and the

the elephant population at
30,000; Meru, where Elsa
the Lioness made her home,
Nakuru, where flamingos by
the millions paint the sky

When eight Black Anteri
can newspaper publishers sat
around the table with their
Russian counterparts from
Rravda and Izvestia, the dis
cussions were spirited and
meaningful.
Among questions posed by
the Black publishers were:
"Is there a sincere effort on
Russia's part for peaceful
relationships with China?”;
"Why are the Russian space
shots shrouded in secrecy?";
"Why is no hard news printed
in S oviet newspapers?";
"How do Russian newspapers
ex ist without ad vertising
revenue'?"; "Is Murray See
ger's charge that American
correspondents in Russia are
subjected to undue pressure
true'?”.
These were only openers
for serious discussions held
with top members of the
Union of Journalists of the
USSR during our 12 day stay
in the Soviet Union.
