Kenya: 11-Day Tour
Kenya is a beautiful country and one of the best places in the world for wildlife safaries. The landscapes vary from wide open savannahs to desert to vast lakes to lush mountain forests. Here you will find an incredible array of wildlife including zebras, antelopes, elephants, rhinos, hippos, lions, leopards and cheetahs.
We took a 11-day tour of Kenya that included visiting Amboseli National Park, Lake Naivasha, Aberdare National Park, Buffalo Springs and the amazing Masai Mara National Reserve. It was an amazing journey and one we will never forget.
Kenya: Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Park is located in Kenya along the border of Tanzania and is contiguous with the neighbouring Serengeti National Park. Masai Mara stretches across an area of 580 square miles (1,510 sq km).
Popular wildlife that might be seen in the Masai Mara include lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, hippo, giraffe, waterbuck, reedbuck, roan antelope, warthog, eland, topi, gazelle, zebra, baboon, crocodile, various species of monkeys, and black rhino.
Kenya: Samburu / Buffalo Springs National Reserves
Buffalo Springs, Samburu and Shaba are a trio of similar, adjoining reserves. Buffalo Springs offers good wildlife viewing of most big safari animals, and is particularly renowned for its excellent leopard sightings.
The reserve protects a tract of semi-arid savannah flanking the scenic Ewaso Nyero River. The ecology is defined by contrasting habitats of riverine forest along the watercourse, and dry acacia scrub dotted with termite mounds extending away from it.
Kenya: Amboseli National Park
Amboseli National Park is located in the south of Kenya - about 240km from Nairobi, close to the border with Tanzania. Amboseli sits in the shadow of the imposing Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's largest mountain. The park itself is about 400km2.
The name "Amboseli" comes from a Maasai word meaning "salty dust", and it is one of the best places in Africa to view large herds of elephants up close.
