Top Tips About Kenya Holiday Safaris

Kenya routinely ranks high in surveys of the best places to go on safari in Africa. The country’s great wildlife regions and spectacles, such as the Great Wildebeest Migration, draw hundreds of thousands of safari tourists each.

Kenya’s moderate temperature, vast open areas, and abundant wildlife in premier safari sites like the Masai Mara and Amboseli provide unforgettable trips year-round.

Tourists on a safari often arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and then transfer to Wilson Domestic Airport, located just next door. Nairobi serves as a hub, and the critical regions to its north, south, east, and west are as follows.

Location in Central Kenya:

Since Nairobi serves Kenya’s transportation and commerce centre, it is often the first stop on any national safari. In addition to Nairobi National Park, Lakes Nakuru, Naivasha, and the Aberdare Mountains, several more conservation sites exist in the greater Nairobi region.

During the annual rainfall, the landscape is lush, and the lakes serve as a magnet for various birds and other creatures. Pick the rightKenya safari tour company for your vacation.

Budget planning suggestions for a safari in Kenya:

So many factors affect the total price of a Kenya safari that it’s difficult to give an accurate estimate. These include the time of year, the luxury you’d like your accommodations to have, whether you choose to drive or fly between vacation spots, and the addition of activities like hot-air ballooning, spa services, bike riding, and cultural trips.

African Memorable Safaris does not provide cookie-cutter vacation packages. We would instead work within your financial means to create a personalized Kenya vacation, spending more where it sounds plausible and cutting less where it does not.

Overlanding in Kenya (riding in a large truck with a group) is an option for those on a tighter budget, while those who want to splurge on a once-in-a-lifetime trip may choose a more luxurious, private experience.

Most of our clients choose a middle ground, where they may split the cost of transportation yet stay in a more luxurious hotel. You might extend yourKenya Holiday Safarisby a day or two by staying at a cheaper tented camp. Given the lack of regulations, two Kenya safaris might be very different.

The Morning Safari:

Get in your safari vehicle and search for big cats and other wildlife with the help of your knowledgeable guide. You’ll want to bundle up since mornings may be cool, but bring layers so you can shed them as the day warms up, thanks to the sun.

At the outset of your game drive, let your guide know if you have any particular areas of interest. But don’t worry; they’ll usually choose their path according to recent local reports, so you can kick back and enjoy the ride as you go on Kenya Safaris.

Based on what you see, the journey might take between two to three hours, and you’ll return to the campsite with some exciting tales.

Night Game Drive:

Take a game drive once more when the sun goes down. Because of the decrease in temperature at night, animals are more alert and less inclined to seek shelter in the bushes.

Our guide will pull over at a scenic overlook as the sun sets, and we will bring out a cooler stocked with your favourite alcoholic beverages so that you may raise a glass to the sun as a fitting cap to a fantastic day spent on safari.

7 Days Amboseli National park, Lake Nakuru National Park & Maasai Mara Game Reserve

Day 1: JKIA (Nairobi airport / Nairobi Hotel) to Amboseli National park

Today your 7 days Kenya safari commence by a pickup from Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International airport if your flight lands in Kenya very early and you opt not to have a night in Nairobi. If you already booked an hotel in Nairobi then pick up will be as early as 07:00 am in the morning followed by a transfer to Amboseli national pack which is famous for its scenery with a backdrop of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, which dominates the landscape and open plains. You will arrive with more game drive proceeding to your lodge /or tented camp for check inn and for hot lunch and a short rest. Afternoon game drive in the park will follow until closing time in the evening at around 18: 30 hrs local time. Dinner and overnight at your preferred accommodation choice listed here in below.

· Main destination: Amboseli National Park

· Accommodation: Tendde camp Mid-range tented camp bordering Amboseli NP.

· Meals & drinks: Lunch and dinner + Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Day 2: Amboseli National park

Wake up early for a pre breakfast game drive during this time you are likely to see a clear view of the peak of Mt Kilimanjaro Return to your camp for breakfast thereafter proceed for another game drive in search for the big five and other plains game like wild beasts giraffe and the antelopes search also for hippos mostly alongside the semi-permanent lakes and swamps like longinya the landscape is mostly dominated by open plains extensive stands of yellow bucked acacia woodland lava strewn thorny bush country and deep valley mountains like namanga lameboti and Elemborashe Birdlife is also prominent like masai ostrich the aquatic little grapes long tailed cormorants African data pelicans goliath purple heroin among others return for your lunch and a break to your camp. Take on another late afternoon game drive to search for large herds of Elephants Errands cokes heartbeats white bearded ginu among others return to your camp for dinner and overnight and position yourself for a good view of the roof of Africa as the sunsets to the west into its horizon.

· Main destination: Amboseli National Park

· Accommodation: tented lodge or safari camp

· Meals & drinks: All meals included + Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Day 3: Amboseli national park to Lake Nakuru National Park

After an early breakfast followed by a departure from Amboseli National park for Lake Nakuru national park via Nairobi for an early lunch. The safari shall then continue to lake Nakuru National park via The Great Rift Valley; brief stop here for historical lectures and photography there after proceed to lake Nakuru via Naivasha for an hour boat ride. I recommend that you relax within the hotel in lake Nakuru this evening and proceed for a game viewing in Lake Nakuru National park on Day 4 as this will give you much time in Lake Nakuru when you have more energy. This is so because Lake Nakuru National park does not accept re-entry to the park for all the guest who opt for accommodation outside the park for example Lake Nakuru Chester Hotel. If your budget could allow you to upgrade to the lodge accommodation which are located inside the lake Nakuru National park then i highly recommend as this will give you a chance to do much game viewing upon arrival from Amboseli and also on day 4 (four) before checking out for Maasai Mara game reserve with us .Meal plan: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

· Main destination: Lake Nakuru National Park

· Accommodation: Budget or mid-range lodge inside the park at an extra cost.

· Meals & drinks: All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Day 4:

Lake Nakuru National park to Maasai Mara Game Reserve

I recommend early breakfast followed by a 4 hours game viewing in this park before setting off for Masai Mara Game reserve, hot lunch served en route. On arrival at the budget tented camp or lodge or your preferred up graded accommodation such as budget camps (please do let us know if you opt for mid-range accommodations instead of budget camping accommodation for a different quote) , relax and after the sun has cool down proceed for a game drive in search for black manned lions, elephants, leopard, cheetah, buffalo and other plains game. Return to the camp for dinner and overnight stay. Meal plan: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

· Main destination: Masai Mara National Reserve

· Accommodation: Budget tented camp.

· Meals & drinks: All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included

Day 5 & 6: Maasai Mara Game Reserve

A full day set aside today for game viewing in Kenya’s finest wildlife park, the Masai Mara National Reserve.

Our morning and afternoon (full day) game drives take us in search of Africa’s Big Five and the plethora of other wildlife inhabiting this vast Kenyan game reserve. On clear days, the Mara offers fantastic orange-tinged sunsets that make for spectacular photos. Much game are coming at your door step when you in the park leaving you with only option of counting your blessings that nature holds for you as you view them in their natural habitat.

The Mara Reserve covers 1510km² of incredible wide-open landscapes and fertile riverine woodlands, following the looping meanders of the Mara and Talek rivers in southwest Kenya. One glimpse is enough to explain its appeal; it is typical open savannah, with a mass of amazing wildlife.

Wherever you go in the vast Masai Mara Park you will see a frequent amount of wildlife such as Masai giraffe, baboons, warthogs, bat eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topis, impala, hartebeests, wildebeest. Elephants, buffalos, zebras and hippos are also found in great numbers. It is also common to see lions either basking after a heavy meal, or surveying the plains for their next meal. Cheetahs and leopards are harder to spot, but reasonably common.

The ultimate action here is without a doubt the annual wildebeest exodus, the Great Migration, in July and August when millions of these grazers move north from the Serengeti in search of lusher grass before turning south again in October for the new life circle to begin after a life threatening move across the strong jaws of East Africa crocodile found within the Mara river and Talek river. Despite the wildebeest movement in the month of July, Aug and October, Maasai Mara is well known for its wide range of wildlife (Flora and fauna) all the year round.

· Main destination: Masai Mara National Reserve

· Accommodation: Budget tented camp or similar standard

· Meals & drinks: breakfast, Lunch & dinner Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Day 7: Nairobi end of safari

Early morning sunrise in the savannah game viewing followed by late breakfast thereafter leisurely depart Masai Mara for Nairobi where safari will end.

Meal plan: breakfast and lunch to mark the end of the trip with us.

· Main destination: Nairobi

· Accommodation: End of tour (no accommodation)

· Meals & drinks: Breakfast & lunch (Dinner not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

NB// accommodations can be upgraded to a standard of your choice ie budget camping / lodge or luxury tented lodges. let us know the type of accommodation you would prefer and we shall mail you an accurate cost based on your request.

36 reasons why Kenya should be your preferred destination

Kenya has been put in the world map by the champion marathoners worldwide. Time and again, year after year, medals have been streaming into the beautiful land of Kenya. For many, the mention of Kenya simply reminds them of slim and tall athletes from Kenya.

However, Kenya is much more than that. It is one of the African countries with some of the most magnificent wildlife sanctuaries and beaches in the world.

Here are 36 reasons why Kenya should be on your to-do list.

1. Wildlife diversity and concentration

Within a few hours into the national parks and reserves you will be counting endless species of wildlife. Kenya is endowed with such rich and diverse wildlife. The concentration of the wildlife is one meant to amaze even the less nature enthusiast, and everyone will have such a great time here in the wilds of Kenya.

2. Cultural diversity and languages

Kenya has more than 40 tribes. Each tribe has its own way of life. These include different ways of living. For example, the Kikuyus of Mt Kenya region are the renowned agriculturist whose main way of life has been agri-business. The Nilotes, on the other hand are famous for livestock raring. For many years they have been living a nomadic way of life. When you go to western Kenya, here you meet the Luo communities whose way of life is mainly based on the lake as fishermen. Each such community not only live differently from each other, but have totally different languages. This adds to the cultural richness and diversity.

3. Rich history as the origin of mankind

The origin of Human kind is a book by Richard Leakey. It is an account of the Leakey’s personal view of the development of Homo sapiens. The world famous paleoanthropologist documents his research back into the origins of mankind. Part of his research work included findings of the Turkana boy, also called Nariokotome boy. This specimen was dated back 1.5 to 1.6 million years ago. It is the only most complete fossil skeleton to ever be found. This gave Kenya a prominent position as the origin of humankind. The Turkana region where a lot of such research work took place is currently referred to as the cradle of mankind.

4. History and origin of Kenya’s name

Kenya as a country got its name from Mount Kirinyaga, the mountain of the gods in the local kikuyu dialect. The snow-capped mountain, also referred to as the mountain of whiteness, has a rich history as a sacred place for the inhabitants there, the kikuyu. When the British colonialists and explorers came to Kenya, some of the areas they settled or traversed through were Mount Kirinyaga region. The origin of the name ‘Kenya’ came from the fact that the white men were not able to pronounce ‘Kirinyaga’ and it went down into the books as the country ‘Kenya’. Even the mountain itself was documented as the present day ‘Mount Kenya’. One such version was done by explorer Johann Ludwig.

5. Origin of the current day ‘safari’

Safari is a Kiswahili language word for ‘journey’. Kiswahili was a language born out of a mix of the arriving coastal traders with the locals. The meaning of the word first originated from the convoys that were done to go hunting for the wild game. These convoys carried camping equipment, food supplies and weapons for hunting. In later years, with the introduction of conservation, the hunting trips slowly evolved to wild game viewing in Kenya. The weapons were gradually replaced by cameras. It is here that some of the big game documentaries have been documented, and Kenya rose from hunting safaris to game drives. This is what gave rise to the modern day safaris, making Kenya as the original home of safari.

6. Women empowerment.

The world all over has been on its toes in the rush for equality. Women all over have been on the front line to take charge and demanding their share as equals. These have seen lots of spirited fights in the demand for same and equal positions or even salaries in work places. In Kenya, the fight has been taken a notch higher. The girl child has seen her position change with a lot of emphasis being put in support for the girl child. Many schools for girls have been started in the counties to make sure that the girl child isn’t married off too early and instead take her position in the class equally like the boy child. These have given rise to prominent career women in all arenas, both in the corporate world and the informal sector. The Kenyan lady has risen above the traditional African setting to sit on the same corporate table with the man. This is something to be proud of as the girl child takes her equal place with no bias, not in the kitchen, but in the decision making table.

7. The Rift valley and its lakes

Rift valley is a feature that was formed out of the earth’s tectonic plates moving. The rift valleys are found both on land and the bottom of the ocean. The Great Rift Valley is part of an intercontinental ridge system and splits Kenya from North to south. This is the Gregory rift valley. It starts from Tanzania and continues northwards to Ethiopia. This valley is one of the interesting parts of Kenya and a safari in Kenya without touching it isn’t complete. The Kenyan part of the rift valley is a home to 7 lakes. These are: Lake Turkana, lake Baringo, lake Bogoria, Lake Nakuru, Lake Elementaita, Lake Naivasha and Lake Magadi. These lakes form part of the great Kenya safari destinations and are so rich with both flora and fauna.

8. Conservation and hunting.

Kenya put a ban on all types of hunting in 1977. The concerted efforts of some of the previous trophy hunters decided to lay down the trophy guns and instead put efforts in maintaining the beauty. Many other individuals teamed to instead arrange for field trips to enjoy the nature. Kenya Wildlife Service was formed in 1889 to help in protection of Kenya’s wildlife. In 1990 it was established as corporate body with the aim and purpose of protection of Kenya game. The bod does through community policing and enforcing the wildlife rules and laws decided by the government through parliament. It has been the back bone of conservation in Kenya. Government and volunteer efforts have been channeled through KWS. The body has been engaging in conservation dialogues and also fighting illegal poaching in Kenya.

9. Diversity of hotels

Dream of any level of hotel beyond the 1-5- star levels. From camping to super exclusive safari camps. Your budget will be your boss. In consultation with your tour agent or operator, you will be able to find a level that matches your pocket. What’s more, you can either be inside the game reserves or outside. You can choose to be near the migration sites, or next to a mountain. Every budget is catered for. However, it is important to note that as you go too low on the budget, some items ought to be compromised in order to be able to make that dream of a Kenya safari come true.

10. Kenya beaches.

Kenya boasts some of the most beautiful beaches with stretches of soft white sand. It is here that will be the perfect end to your safari. After the long drives in search for wildlife, the perfect way to end the holiday is to just relax at the beach. Most of the times, the weather is just perfect for some sand and tan at the Kenyan coast. Diani beach is one of such perfect beaches.

11. Weather in Kenya

Kenya has the ultimate holiday weather. Except for the rainy season, which is usually in April to May, Kenya has great weather almost all year round. It is important to note that the last few years, like everywhere else in the world, the weather patterns have changed a little bit. But besides that, Kenya is on the equator and you don’t get the extreme temperature variations experienced as you get further away from the equator. Many people in Kenya do not know the difference between winter and summer, mainly because the temperatures do not fluctuate too much to make any significant change.

12. Family friendly safaris.

Want to show your kids and spouse rich nature? Kenya has what it takes for family safaris with children. We owe it to nature to nurture it and no better way to make sure that the candle keeps burning than to teach our children about nature. And not only that, we teach them basics of maintaining the environment by at least planting a tree. Kids also love the wildlife and stories around them. They learn a lot about to how to coexist with the animals and how our forefathers lived peacefully with the nature. It is a time for a family time out, including picnics in the wilds of Kenya.

13. Big five safaris.

The big five game, namely the lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo and the rhino have captured and dominated the Kenya safari industry. Although the big five are not the only interesting wildlife in the country, they have made a big impact in Kenya safaris. The big five can be found in several parks, but it’s only a few parks that all of them can be found. Mostly, you have to do several parks in order to see the big five. The leopard remains quite elusive and one of the animals that make game drivers very excited. The big five are one of the items to look out for during your safari in Kenya.

14. Mt Kenya, the second highest mountain in Africa and origin of Kenya’s name.

On your way to Samburu, Mount Kenya can be viewed when the weather is clear. It is the highest mountain in Kenya at 5199m above the sea level. It is also the second highest mountain in Africa after Kilimanjaro, at 5895m above sea level. Mount Kenya is also the origin of Kenya’s name.

15. Wildebeest migration

This is a phenomenal scene worth putting down in any safari planning. The migrating herds of both wildebeests and zebras start pouring into Kenya in mid-June. They stay through to September, when the last of the herds trickle back to Tanzania. They then continue with their never ending cycle. It is one of the most amazing scenes you have ever seen, where hundreds of thousands of these weird looking animals cover the savannahs of Masai Mara like flies. It is a time that crocodile celebrate while they wait for the wildebeests to cross the infested rivers. It usually is such a beauty to behold.

16. Car free island.

That is correct, car-free Island. Lamu town is an island located in the Lamu Island, which is part of the greater Lamu Archipelago. Lamu old town has a history of being inhabited for over 700 years ago. It is a peaceful tropical Island, where life is at its own pace. It is also a UNESCO world heritage centre. The narrow streets have remained unchanged and the only mode of transport within the town is donkey carts, while the ocean dhows have become part of the daily view of the Island. It is an exotic experience, and when you visit Lamu, life slows down and the days, you spend them strolling along the waterfront.

17. Food diversity

Starting from the coast, here you get to enjoy some of the most tasteful Swahili dishes, including pilau rice (rice cooked with local herbs). As you progress to Nairobi and pass through the Kamba community, here you get to taste the famous Muthokoi, synonymous with the wood-curving Kamba people. You get to Nairobi, and it is a mixture of all the communities in Kenya as they can all be found in the city. In central Kenya, githeri is the order of the day, which is beans and dry corn cooked together. And for the fish-lovers, you will be at home in western Kenya, where theres abundance of fish as the community that live by the lake side is fishermen. In addition, the food diversity in Kenya is beyond imagination. For example: although Kenya coast is famous for pilau rice, the Kikuyus too will cook rice but in different ways, diversifying the cooking styles.

18. Beyond zero.

Beyond zero is a noble project initiated by the first lady in 2014. The project aims at reducing child mortality rate at birth. Also, it’s one other purpose is to reduce HIV infections in children. The project raises fund through arranging for volunteer marathon athletics, while sponsors mainly from the corporate world team rise to the call of coming together to take medical care to the remote areas through donations. Individuals are also welcome to participate both in the athletics and in raising donations. This is one of the beauties of the Kenyan people, the commitment to help one other, and Beyond Zero campaign has proved this time and again.

19. Lake victoria, second largest freshwater lake

This is one of the great features of Africa. The lake named after Queen Victoria by John Hanning Speke in 1858. He was on a trip to locate the source of river Nile with his colleague Richard Burton. The lake is shared by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The lake is a source of food supply to the local communities living there, with over 200 species of fish recorded. Tilapia, which is a favourite fish for almost all Kenyans, is the main catch here. It is the largest lake in Africa, and second largest in the world. It is over 400,000 years old and definitely worth a visit.

20. Lake Turkana, largest desert lake in the world

Lake Rudolf, as it was previously known, is the world’s largest desert lake. It is located in the rift valley and its northern end goes all the way to Ethiopia. It is also the world’s largest alkaline lake. It is probably one of the most beautiful lakes with the turquoise waters as seen from a short distance. The lake is a UNESCO world heritage centre, and is a great breeding ground for the Nile crocodiles. Due to its special nature both as a museum of archaeological findings and the wildlife found here, it is managed by both the National Museums of Kenya and Kenya Wildlife Services.

21. First African woman to win Nobel prize

Kenya has had strong activists for the environment. One such esteemed person is Prof Wangari Mathai. She founded the green belt movement as a tool to fight both political injustices and put a spirited fight for the environment. She ensured that some of the lands that belong to the forest department were not grabbed by the politicians, including president Moi himself. If Karura forest would have words to speak, it would speak of the fight that this Nobel Prize winner put in order to save it. She is the first African woman to earn such a prestigious recognition of a Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts in conservation work. But that is not all; Professor Wangari Mathai was also the first female Professor in Kenya. By the time of her death, her organization had planted more than 30 million trees all over Kenya.

22. Agriculture in Kenya

Agriculture forms the back bone of Kenya. Due to the great climate, agriculture in Kenya supports large populations. From large scale farming to small scale farming, all contribute towards provision of employment. Kenya exports flowers, fruits and vegetables to the rest of the world. Several species of coffees and tea are grown here. This has given rise to Agri-tourism, where you can visit farms and see how coffees, tea and other farming are done. Agriculture in Kenya contributes about 35% of the gross domestic product. It is important to note also that some of the farming is done in very small portions of land only for domestic use, like vegetables for daily use. It is therefore paramount to look at agriculture in Kenya, not just in the eye of exports, but also as an activity undertaken to keep the families going.

23. A visit to the Equator

The equator divides the country and the world into two. It is at zero degrees Latitude. It divides the world into the northern and southern hemispheres. There are 13 countries along the equator line, including Kenya, Ecuador, brazil among others. The days usually have equal hours of darkness and daylight. It is also warmer at the equator, because it is closer to the sun.

24. Sports and athletics

I doubt there’s anyone who hasn’t heard of the name Kenya. If not from the world of safaris, it definitely would be from Marathoners. Kenya has had such a successful chain of winners in the long distance runners. Medals after medals have been clinched. Kenya has some of the best runners who keep on improving over the years. It is such a great honour to have to visit the country of champions.

25. Fastest mammal on land

Slim body, tear marks running from the eyes to the nose and long legs are some of the physically notable marks of this special creature. Kenya is a home to the fastest animal on land, the cheetah, Acynonix Jubatus. Speeds of up to 93 km/h have been recorded. However, these speeds are only for a short distance. Built for speed, the cheetah is a slender open grassland animal. It relies on the speed to outdo its prey for food.

26. 7 UNESCO sites

Kenya has 7 UNESCO sites. The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization have recognized seven such sites in Kenya. These are: 1. Lamu Island, 2. Fort Jesus, 3. Lake Turkana National parks, 4. Mount Kenya National Park and Forest, 5. The Sacred MijiKenya Kaya Forests, 6. The Kenya Lake system in the Great Rift Valley and the 7. The Thimlich Ohinga archaeological site in western Kenya.

27. Kenya is world leader in safari destinations.

Kenya has a huge collection of parks that are all unique in their different ways. From the reticulated giraffes in Samburu, to the great views of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli. The safari destinations are not just in the parks and reserves. It is beyond that. The ultimate Kenyan safari is a combination of culture, wildlife, sceneries and the food. The destinations that will give you all these in Kenya are many and very diverse too. You can never get enough of safari in Kenya.

28. Visit the flamingos

How many times do you get to see a pink-covered lake? Lake Bogoria is such a lake. It is one of the rift valley lakes and has such a great concentration of pink algae. This is what flamingos feed on and is actually what gives them their pink colour. The flamingos congregate and form such beautiful cover of pink in the lake. It is important to note that these use to be in Lake Nakuru. But too much silting has reduced growth of algae and so the flamingos shifted to Lake Bogoria.

29. Magical Sunrise and sunset

Kenya has some of the best sunrise and sunsets. You wake early to go for your morning game drive and the sunrise just welcomes you with such beautiful orange hues. You can’t help it but to stop and take those cool photos. And as the day progresses to its end, just before you call it a day, you have another opportunity to take those orange-tinged photos that every professional photographer yearns for. You could also be watching the sun go down by the beach as you sip away your cold drink. It is a sight to behold.

30. Meet the Masai community.

Majority of safari goers come with the information that the Masai community are the ones who live in Kenya. Many come with the thought that every Kenyan is a Masai. Only to arrive and find not so tall Kenyans as portrayed in the media. It is true however that the Maasai community are world famous and have taken a big share in the Kenyan fame. They are only about 3% but the fact that they have continued to hold on to their traditional way of life makes them worth a visit. While a lot has changed because of education and exposure, much hasn’t shifted from the culture. It is a nice thing to see them dance in their age-old ways of life.

31. Rich art in Kenya

The Kamba community are the renowned wood artist of Kenya. They are famous for wood curving in Kenya. They are followed by the Kisii community, who do their curving work from the Kisii soap stone. The Masai community are also great with curving and bead work. Down at the coast, they are famous for weaving what is famously known as Kikoi. All these are hand-work, which adds to the richness of a culture in Kenya. And without a doubt will enrich your Kenya safari.

32. Birders paradise

The birder will probably be most at home in Kenya in terms of diversity of species. From the desert to the swamps. From the rain forests to the savannahs. From the grasslands to the lake regions. The list is endless. Over 1134 bird species have been recorded. It is here that the birders will have a great time while looking and watching the birds, from identification to photography.

33. Great Marine experience

The Kenyan coast is one of the special areas for wildlife conservation. But here they deal with marine wildlife. You can go diving and enjoy the beautiful sights under the ocean, including the corals. It is a completely different world on its own. All year round is good, but visibility in July to August lessens. Water temperatures are confortable for diving all year round. It is an activity to consider adding on to your list.

34. Friendly people of Kenya

The one thing you are not going to miss is the genuine friendliness of people. Kenyans in general are very kind and very friendly, with very genuine smiles. Regardless of poverty level, Kenyan’s friendliness remains one of the greatest assets the country has. Once you experience it, you going to miss it.

35. Nairobi city excursion.

The city in the sun. It was the term used to describe Nairobi. The modern day Nairobi is a host to many Kenyans who over the years have migrated to the city in search for jobs. International organizations have made Nairobi their headquarters. One such organization is the United Nations headquarters for Africa. But aside from the corporate world, Nairobi has so much to offer. From game safaris in Nairobi National park, to feeding the giraffe in Giraffe centre or watching elephants feed in Sheldrick’s Orphanage. Nairobi has such great hotels and restaurants that you will just be spoilt for choice.

36. A hiker’s paradise.

The country is definitely a hiker’s paradise. Whether you are an experienced hiker or just starting, there is something for you. Mount Kenya is a great place for such but you need several days to finish the climb. Day trips can also be arranged. Ngong hills have good forest tracks. Other places to go hiking include Hell’s gate national park, Mt Longonot among many others.

Loldia House: May 2019

New Post has been published on https://tagasafarisafrica.com/africa-travel-news/loldia-house-may-2019/

Loldia House: May 2019

Loldia had a little rain in the month of May, just 37mm overall rainfall was recorded – which we were very grateful for! The scattered showers just managed to freshen things up and the surrounds are just green enough.

We are are feeding the hippo hay and a molasses mixture in the evenings, which is gives the guests such pleasure. Sometimes there are up to five at the bottom of the garden just before dark. They remain at a safe distance, behind the low lying ‘hippo fence’ which stops them from coming right up to the house. During the night, buffalo, zebra, Water Buck and sometimes the Bush Pigs are coming in to enjoy the hay. On the night of the 29th, we had two giraffe right in front of main house, they too had come to enjoy the complimentary food that we have been leaving out at night. There are two pairs of Fish Eagles nesting in the garden, which makes for a very good alarm call in the morning!

On May 1st, we found the sweetest little baby fawn Impala, that had sadly got separated from its mother during some hyena mayhem in the night, and had run all the way up to the verandah of room #2. We found it there quite frightened and shaken in the morning, thankfully its mother passed by to collect it before we had to make a plan! The Impala like to sleep on the lawn at night, within the hippo fence perimeter, which gives them safety against predators. On this particular occasion, the hyena spooked the Impala causing quite a ruckus and general separation of of the herd.

With the little bit of rain the Leonotis have come into flower – commonly known as the ‘Sunbird flower’. There are many varieties of Sunbirds and the most spectacular, in my opinion, is the Golden Winged sunbird which is often seen flitting in and around flora surrounding our beautiful infinity pool.

The night game drives are still proving to be very popular – we have now got red filters on the spot lights which drastically limits the amount of invasive light on the animal, meaning they are more likely to continue on with their nocturnal activity and ignore our vehicle almost completely. Guests can expect to see Owls, Bush Babies, Mongoose, Bat-Eared Foxes, Spring Hares, together with the usual Antelope, Buffalo, Hippo and Hyena. One evening an Aardvark was seen! Sadly no leopard sightings in May.

Night game drives and testing out the new red filters – photo credit Alisa Bowen

Our guests are always more than thrilled with their trip to Nakuru National Park, where there are always good sightings of rhino, Rothschild giraffe, ostrich, lion, sometimes a leopard and many Dung Beetles at work. It is becoming more popular to leave Loldia House early in the morning with a picnic breakfast and lunch – if you leave it much later than this, the day heats up and by lunch time, many of the animals have taken refuge in the bush. So, we do encourage guests to leave in good time and be back to enjoy the afternoon soaking up the sun and views around the pool.

Rhino sightings at NNP are almost always guaranteed – photo credit Will Fortescue

May has been an interesting month in terms of visitors, it its usually quite a quiet month, but there have been a number of repeat guests who have deliberately come come for the real peace and quiet that Loldia House has to offer. There is no better place to relax and unwind after an exhilarating few days in the Masai Mara for instance. We have also welcomed a lot of travel agents, who come to inspect Loldia as a possible property for their clients. It is always a pleasure to host them.

Some of the visiting agents took a short walk through Eburru Forest, home to the incredibly rare Mountain Bongo, as well as Colobus and Blue monkeys. There walk was followed by a demonstration from the honey collectors (you will see many bee hives through the forest). They also played football with the school children and a member of the Eburru Rafiki Trust gave a talk to the agents in the evening. This is a voluntary organisation whose aim is to re-plant trees, stop the poaching, set up camera traps to hopefully see Bongo, stop the illegal grazing of cattle in the forest, open up paths for walking and encourage the local population to produce honey.

Two of the same agents spent a morning at Soysambu Conservancy following a pride of lion that had been collared. Lion tracking at Soysambu is a particularly fascinating activity to do from Loldia – its very easy to get to and a chance to learn about conservation. The other two members of this team climbed Mt. Longonot, an inactive volcano that overlooks the beautiful landscape of Lake Naivasha area in Kenya.

There have been a few boat trips on Lake Naivasha where guests can enjoy ‘close up’ sightings of hippo and a myriad of bird species. We are very excited to be welcoming a new boat and engine in June!

We were delighted to host mother and daughter, Jill and Rachel, at Loldia House this May. Eager to be involved in some of the responsible tourism projects we support, they reached out to us in advance and sent through donations in order to purchase some much needed supplies for the Loldia Primary School. Once they were with us, we took them over to the school to meet the children and the teachers and to hand out the donations to some very excited recipients. The children were absolutely delighted and they showed their appreciation by singing and dancing for them. Jill and Rachel then traveled on to Governors’ Camp in the Mara, where Jill personally planted 24 indigenous sapling trees! We are very thankful to them both for taking a genuine interest in the environment and communities surrounding our camps and lodges, and for supporting us in our efforts to promote sustainable travel.

Jill, our wonderful guest who took donations to Loldia Primary School

By Heather Wallington, manager at Loldia House.

This national park is one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located wildlife areas, consisting of a massive but shallow soda lake (covering two-thirds of the park), located at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment.

We head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. We arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti national park.

Things to see and do in Kenya

Climb Mount Kenya At 4,986m (16,358ft) above sea level, this extinct volcano is the second-highest mountain in Africa. The Mountain Club of Kenya runs mountain huts and publishes guides for climbers. Even if you don't climb to the upper slopes, it is worth spending time on the forested lower slopes below the ice-capped peak, where interesting wildlife abounds. Climb Mount Longonot This distinctive volcano, which last erupted in the 1860s, rises dramatically above the Rift Valley floor, and its slopes can be ascended in around 90 minutes. Allow another hour for the descent, and 3-4 hours if you want to walk around the rim of the perfect volcanic crater. Day trip to Nairobi National Park Nairobi National Park, only 8km (5 miles) from the city centre, is Kenya's oldest national park. Today, it still looks much as it did in the early photographs – wild, undulating pasture – and supports most of East Africa’s best known wildlife, including lion, rhino, giraffe, buffalo and zebra (but not elephant). Experience the magic of the Masai Mara Kenya's most popular game park is named after the Maasai tribe, who migrated south from the Nile Valley in the 17th century. A northern extension to Tanzania’s Serengeti Plains, it is one of the best places in Africa for seeing lion, cheetah and leopard, but is most famous for the annual wildebeest migration and dramatic crossing of the crocodile-infested Mara River. Explore Kenya’s coral coast Visitors can choose between scuba-diving, snorkelling, sailing, water-skiing, swimming or surfing along Kenya's coral coast. The most popular resorts near Mombasa include Bamburi, Kikambala, Kilifi, Malindi, Nyali and the 10km- (6-mile) long, dazzlingly white Diani Beach. Another good base for watersports is the Rift Valley lake of Naivasha, about 1.5 hours drive from Nairobi. Explore Lamu Town Set on a picturesque offshore island close to the Somali border, Lamu is a charming old Swahili city and UNESCO World Heritage Site with many historic mosques and fine old Arab houses replete with impressive carved wooden doors. Highlights of the town include the Lamu Museum, the Swahili House Museum and the Fortress. Go twitching in Kakamega Forest The only rainforest in Kenya, this lovely spot near the Ugandan border is arguably the prime birdwatching site in the country, thanks to the presence of several dozen forest species found nowhere else in the country. For non-birders, the shady forest paths and plentiful monkeys still offer lots of charm. Go wild at Lake Nakuru National Park Boasting a dramatic setting in the Rift Valley, this park is dominated by a lake whose edges are frequently home to hundreds of thousands of pink flamingos. It is also one of Kenya's best rhino sanctuaries, supporting high concentrations of both black and white rhino, and you may spot a leopard in the giant yellowwood acacia trees. Help save the elephants at Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage Watch baby elephants play at the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, an important sanctuary where orphaned elephants are hand-reared before being released back into the wild. Bordering Nairobi National Park, the sanctuary is also home to several orphaned rhinos, and is an important player in the fight against poaching. Jump aboard a dhow Spend an evening afloat on a romantic dhow (traditional Arab sailing boat), feasting on delicious seafood and watching the moon rise over Mombasa's old harbour. Lunchtime or dinner cruises are available on these beautiful floating restaurants, and some even have space for dancing on the deck. Marvel at Mombasa Enjoy this coastal city's Swahili flavour in the Old Town, with its narrow, crowded streets; watch the sailing dhows in the Old Harbour and catch the sound and light show at Fort Jesus, which was built by the Portuguese in the 17th century and is now a museum. Pay a visit to Laikipia Plateau Discover a recent conservation success where former farmland has been opened up as game sanctuaries and stocked with big game including the Big Five: elephant, buffalo, lion, rhino and leopard. The old farmsteads here have been converted into delightful, luxurious accommodations. This vast wilderness area remains largely underexplored by tourists. Quaff high tea at Elsamere Situated on the shores of Lake Naivasha, the former home of Joy Adamson (of Born Free fame) is now a museum and conservation research centre. Set in grounds teeming with birds – and home to a group of handsome colobus monkeys – Elsamere also serves excellent high tea. Shop until you drop in Mombasa Biashara Street is a great place to buy traditional kikoy and khanga clothing. Makupa Market, off Mwembe Tayari, is the main city market. Serious souvenir shoppers should also head for the Bombolulu Workshops and Cultural Village, where disabled men and women produce high-quality leatherwork, jewellery and other crafts. Stay a night at Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary Situated a short distance from the main highway between Nairobi and Mombasa, this small private sanctuary bordering the vast Tsavo National Park doubles as a luxury hotel and well-positioned hide, overlooking a salt lick and a waterhole that frequently attracts aggregations of a hundred or more elephants. Step into the land of giants at Amboseli National Park The 392sq km (151sq mile) Amboseli National Park lies at the base of snow-capped Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak. Wildlife includes lion, cheetah, wildebeest, hippo and gazelle, but the park is most famous for the large herds of elephant attracted by the perennial swamps. Bird-watching is popular, and visitors can learn about the local Maasai people through homestead visits. Take the road less travelled to Lake Turkana In the barren northern reaches of Kenya, Lake Turkana is a strange and beautiful oasis, known to locals as the Jade Sea due to its size and striking colour. The lake provides great fishing, while its islands have healthy crocodile and hippo populations. The semi-nomadic Turkana tribe are just as interesting as the lake itself. Take to the skies in a hot air balloon Float over great herds of game in the Masai Mara National Reserve. Hour-long excursions set off at dawn and end with champagne breakfasts. Almost all the lodges in the reserve offer this experience, which gives ballooners the chance to see the wildebeest migration from the air between July and September. Tour Nairobi's museums Browse the ethnographic and archaeological exhibits of the National Museum, which lies within walking distance of the city centre. And then head out to the suburban Karen Blixen Museum, which occupies the farmhouse made famous by the nominal author's book, Out of Africa. The Nairobi Railway Museum also covers an important chapter of the city’s history.
