Nature and Wildlife in Kenya
Kenya is a country known for its diver
Explore Maasai Mara
Maasai Mara National Reserve is located in southwestern Kenya. It is named after the Maasai people and the Mara River, which runs through the reserve. The reserve is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards, and rhinos. The annual wildebeest migration is one of the most popular events in the reserve, attracting thousands of tourists every year. The reserve is also known for its beautiful landscapes, including vast grasslands, rolling hills, and dense forests.
Hot Air Balloon Safaris in Kenya
Maasai Mara is a popular destination for hot air balloon safaris, where visitors can take in stunning views of the vast savannah and its wildlife from above. The gentle ride in the balloon provides a unique perspective of the Mara River, its hippos and crocodiles, and the roaming herds of elephants, zebras, and giraffes. The excursion typically begins early in the morning, with a pre-dawn departure to catch the sunrise, followed by a champagne breakfast upon landing. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience that should be noticed by everyone visiting the Maasai Mara.
The Wildebeest Migration
The Wildebeest Migration is an extraordinary natural phenomenon that occurs annually between July and October. It involves the movement of over 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles from the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. The animals undertake this epic journey in search of fresh water and greener pastures, which are scarce in the dry season. The migration is a breathtaking spectacle as the herds traverse rivers, grasslands and woodlands while facing predators such as lions, cheetahs and crocodiles. It is truly a remarkable display of nature's power and resilience.
The Giraffe Center in Lang'ata
The Giraffe Center is a conservation area dedicated to protecting and preserving the endangered Rothschild's giraffe. Located just outside of Nairobi, the center allows visitors to interact with these majestic creatures up close and personal. Visitors can feed the giraffes from a raised platform, learn about their behaviour and biology, and even adopt a giraffe to support conservation efforts. The Giraffe Center is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in wildlife conservation and the beauty of these incredible animals.
