TOP SAFARI ACTIVITIES IN KENYA
In the East African region of the African continent, Kenya is renowned as an excellent game-viewing destination with various wildlife destinations like Masai Mara National Reserve, Amboseli National Park, Chyulu Hills National Park, to mention just a few. Kenya offers a multitude of safari activities for your Kenyan adventure, as outlined below:
Watching the Annual Great Wildebeest Migration: Also known as “the wildlife World Cup,” this is one of Earth’s most spectacular natural events. Over 1.5 million wildebeests, along with thousands of zebras, Thomson’s gazelles, and Grant’s gazelles, journey across the plains of the Serengeti in Tanzania to reach Kenya’s Masai Mara in search of food and water. The best time to witness this phenomenon is in August, September, and October in the Masai Mara National Reserve, particularly during the Mara River crossing, a dramatic and perilous event where Nile crocodiles attack the herds as they attempt to cross the river. Predators like lions, hyenas, cheetahs, and leopards await the survivors on the riverbanks. This awe-inspiring experience allows you to witness the marvels of nature in all their glory.
Climbing the Majestic Mount Kenya: Mount Kenya is a remarkable tourist attraction in Kenya and a highly rewarding site for mountain climbing safaris. Climbing Mount Kenya offers a memorable activity for your Kenya safari, providing opportunities to explore the mountain’s outstanding beauty and enjoy scenic views of its highest peak, lakes, streams, and various vegetation zones, including montane forests, African Alpine, and bamboo. The mountain is also home to diverse animal species such as the Kenya hyrax, common duiker, elephants, monkeys, and numerous bird species, including sunbirds, Alpine chats, starlings, Augur buzzards, and Verreaux’s eagles.
Horseback Riding in Masai Mara: Horseback riding in Masai Mara offers an excellent opportunity to connect with nature while exploring the park’s vast Savannah plains on horseback. This unique safari experience allows you to get up close to various animals residing in the park, including giraffes, black rhinos, Thomson’s gazelles, elephants, and even witnessing the annual great wildebeest migration.
Exploring Kenya’s Rich Culture and Tradition: Kenya boasts a diverse range of cultures and traditions, represented by various indigenous tribes such as the Samburu, Maasai, Kikuyu, Luhya, Kamba, and Mijikenda, among others. Engaging with these indigenous tribes is a remarkable activity while enjoying your safari in Kenya. Cultural tours in Kenya provide opportunities to visit local homesteads with circular houses known as “bomas” for Maasai nomadic people and the Samburu tribe. These visits offer chances to savor local cuisine, enjoy traditional dances and drama performances, interact with locals, and observe their fascinating clothing styles and customs.
Visiting Lake Nakuru National Park: Lake Nakuru National Park is another incredible activity to include in your Kenyan safari itinerary. The park is famous for its beautiful pink flamingos, which inhabit the shallow, alkaline lake set amidst a picturesque landscape of woodlands and grasslands near Nakuru town. Lake Nakuru National Park is the ideal location to observe flamingos and enjoy its stunning landscape, featuring marshes, grasslands, rocky cliffs, acacia woodlands, rocky hillsides with euphorbia forests, and, of course, the lake itself. The park is home to a variety of animals, including herbivores like giraffes, elephants, buffalos, and rhinos, as well as carnivores like lions, hyenas, cheetahs, and leopards, along with diverse bird species.
Visiting Kenya is an unforgettable experience filled with exciting and memorable activities. Let Kenya be your next safari destination.
