The Aberdares are a picturesque mountain range in central Kenya with dense forests and spectacular waterfalls. The national park is home to rare species, such as the bongo and golden cat. However, it is more common to see elephants, black rhinos, leopards, spotted hyenas, olive baboons, black-and-white colobus monkeys, buffalo, warthogs, and bushbucks that also call the park home.
Lake Nakuru is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and located in the Rift Valley at an elevation of 1754 m above sea level. The lake is home to a large flamingo population and a sanctuary for black and white rhinoceroses.
Masai Mara is the most famous protected area in Kenya and is known for its large population of lions, leopards, rhinos, elephant herds, and buffalos, as well as the annual wildebeest migration.
Along with the incredible wildlife sightings, the safari also offers the opportunity to witness the local cultures and traditions of the Maasai people. You can get an up-close look at the Maasai people’s way of life and customs while visiting a Maasai village.
A safari to Aberdares, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara National Reserve is an adventure of a lifetime and one that will be cherished forever.
Extra Tip – The Great Migration
Every year between July to October the Great Migration takes place at Maasai Mara where millions of wildebeest, thousands of zebras, eland, gazelles, and other animals traverse from the Serengeti and make the dangerous attempt to cross the Mara River to reach the lush savannahs in search of greener pastures and water. It’s all about the food!
For years, drought has plagued parts of Africa, leading to a sharp decline in the availability of food. As a result, animals and birds that live in areas that are drought-prone have migrated toward areas with more resources resulting in the world’s greatest movement of animals. This epic natural phenomenon was recognized by UNESCO and Masai Mara’s ecosystem earned the status as one of the Seven Wonders Of The World. The Great Migration is an amazing spectacle; join us in this once-in-a-lifetime experience. A must-see for anyone visiting Kenya!
