Observing lions in Kenya at different National Parks will make you want to dance in circles. Kenya has over 25,000 lions in National Parks such as Masai Mara National Reserve, Samburu National Park, Mwingi National Reserve, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, Kora National Park, Meru National Park, Tsavo West and East National Parks, to mention but a few.
Masai Mara National Reserve
This Reserve is known for its enormous lions feasting on herbivores, reptiles, and primates. Many tourists come to this park to see the yellow-golden lions that move together, whispering to each other about the next tactic to use to take down their prey.
Many activities are included in the menu of Masai Mara. Tourists can enjoy the hot air balloon experience, birdwatching, and game drives conducted during the day and evening to educate themselves about the behavior of lions.
During dry seasons, lions are often found near waterholes and plants. There are also nature walks conducted within the park, providing tourists with an actual view of different animal species.
The means of transport to the park is either air transport (the safari plane flies from Nairobi to Wilson Transport, and from there, your tour guide comes with a vehicle that will comfortably take you to Masai Mara) or road transport (tourists first make an entry into the country through Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, then drive for 5 hours to the reserve, which is west of Nairobi.
The long distance is due to impassable roads in the west, causing delays along the way). Kenya is a magnificent destination for a lion safari where adventure and beautiful distractions await.
Meru National Park
Meru National Park is located east of Meru and hosts over 60-70 lions that spend nights hunting down animals that cannot see in darkness. They use their sharp claws to hold their prey until they die.
Lions can suck the blood of their prey and can live for days without water. These extraordinary characteristics attract many tourists to the park to observe the unforgettable behaviors of lions.
The entry fee at the National park includes 300 KShs for adults (citizens and residents) and 52 US$ while children enter at a fee of 215 Kshs (for both citizens and residents) and 35 US$ (non-residents).
The park is also home to other animals, both herbivores and carnivores.
Samburu National Park
This park is known for its rare species such as Somali Ostrich, Grevy Zebra, Beisa Oryx, and many others, including lions, leopards, tigers, and cheetahs.
The accommodations at the park include Saruni Samburu, Sasaab, Samburu Tented Camp, Elephant Bedroom Camp, Samburu Simba Lodge, Sabache Camp, Larsen Camp, and many others.
Activities at the park include nature hikes, visits to Masai villages, horseback safaris, bush meals, and many others. Smell the sea, feel the sky, let your soul and spirit fly, and see heaven on earth with the magnificent decision of visiting Kenya for a lion safari, where adventure and beautiful distractions await.
Lion safari also thrives in Tanzania, attracting tourists to various National Parks such as Serengeti National Park, known as a home to a great number of lions in Africa, Lake Manyara National Park, Tarangire National Park, Katavi National Park, Arusha National Park, Mahale Mountains National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and many more.
Tanzania doesn’t just welcome tourists for lion viewing but also offers birdwatching opportunities, interaction with the local people to learn about their outfits, languages, meals, and dances.
Visitors also have the opportunity to explore historical sites, diamond-like architecture, crystal-clear streams, and other fine hotels such as Mbalengeti Serengeti Lodge, Four Seasons Safari Lodge, Momella Wildlife Lodge, Hatari Lodge, Christina House, Mbali Mbali Mahale Lodge, Greystoke Mahale Camp, Lake Manyara Wildlife Lodge, Octagon Lodge, Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge, African Sunrise Lodge, and many others.
