We have created a Kenya Safari Screensaver, containing scenes and animals photographed by ourselves on our recent visit to the Masai Mara, which you are free to download and use on your pc's desktop.

It has already been awarded a 5 Star recommendation from several respected Shareware Directories where you can download the screensaver easily. You'll see the various awards below.

If you are unsure just what a "Screensaver" is and what it does please scroll to the end of the page and there is a full description of the uses and benefits of a "Screensaver".

To download the Free Safari Screensaver from this page you should double left-click HERE and a dialogue box will open asking if you wish to “run or save this file?”.

You should click “Run” and then a further dialogue box will open asking “Are you sure you want to run the software?”. Again, click “Run” and you will then be asked if you “want to install Kenya Safari“.

Click “Yes” and a short introduction describing the screensaver will appear. Once you have read it close the message down by clicking the “X” in the top right-hand corner of the message and the screensaver will install automatically.

To adjust the length of time before the screensaver appears simply go to your “Control Panel“, choose “Display” then “Screensavers” and you will be able to shorten or lengthen the time before the screensaver appears.

We hope you enjoy using our Kenya Safari Screensaver and please feel free to pass it onto friends and family.

If you have any difficulty downloading the Kenya Safari Screensaver this way you can also download it from the following Shareware Directories by clicking on any of the icons below:

What is a Screensaver?

A screen saver is an animated image that is activated on a personal computer display when no user activity has been sensed for a certain time. The original purpose of a screen saver was to prevent burn-in (the burning of an image into the phosphor inside the cathode ray tube after hours of the same image being displayed). In fact, today's CRT/LCD display technology makes burn-in unlikely except under extreme conditions. The prefect screensaver is the black screen... a bit boring, huh? Many people get screen savers so that something interesting is on the screen when they make a pause. Screensavers are also a good way to promote a company or a product.

Windows® comes with built-in screen savers that you can select. If you purchase your computer with the operating system already installed, a screen saver may have been selected for you. Also, many screensavers can be downloaded from specific sites.

A good screensaver must have the following characteristics:

A dark background or scene - This is to save power consumed by the display.

Moving objects or scene - This is to avoid pixel burning. Fixed objects must be dark.

Slow motion - The scene must be appeasing.

Silent - If you add sounds, use low-level ones and/or cool music.

Sensitive - It must stop on any user action (mouse move, click, keyboard hit...).
