Culture, and Bird Watching
A safari to see the best game parks in Kenya and
also the world famous bird sanctuaries of the
Great Rift Valley Lakes before taking you down
to the Coast to enjoy at leisure the beautiful
sunny beaches of Mombasa, Malindi or Lamu.
Samburu National reserve is becoming one of Kenya's
most admired stops after the Mara. Sights of the
peculiarly branched doum palms and taut thorn
trees give an unusual look to the region. Likewise,
the permanent water supply acts like a lure for
the abundant species found here, some endemic
to the North of Kenya.
This trip brings you to Lake Baringo - Kenya's
bird watching centre with over 1200 different
species native to the country and more than 450
sighted here. Further onwards, the small park
of Lake Nakuru provides sightings of Rothschild’s
giraffes, endangered white and black rhinos, leopards
and abundant bird species.
The Mara reserve is 1510 sq km of incredible wide-open
landscapes and fertile riverine woodland following
the looping meanders of the Mara and Talek rivers.
One glimpse is enough to explain its appeal; it
is typical savannah, with a mass of amazing wildlife.
Amboseli is situated on the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro
very close to the Tanzanian border. Despite its
small size (392 sq km), this fragile ecosystem
supports a wide range of mammals (well over 50
of the larger species) and birds (over 400 species).
On clear days the looming Mt. Kilimanjaro offers
great photo opportunities.
Tsavo is the largest national park in Kenya (at
22,000 sq km), and is comprised of Tsavo East
and West. Due to the abundant vegetation cover,
more effort is required to spot the wildlife,
but the fantastic landscape and comparatively
few visitors compensates for this.
