The Aberdares are an isolated volcanic range that forms the eastern wall of the rift valley, running roughly 100km north south between Nairobi and Thomsons Falls. The Aberdare National Park was formed in 1950 to protect the forested slopes and moors of the Aberdare Mountains. While the park has elephant, rhino, black leopard, lion and the beautiful but elusive bongo antelope, it is rarely visited by safari companies and individual travelers. Soils are volcanic origin and red. There are two main peaks Kinangop (3,906m) and Ol Donyo Lesatima (3,999m) separated by a lengthy saddle of alpine moorland at over 3,000m. The high rainfall turns the roads to mud and you need a 4×4 to get anywhere. The park often closes in the wet season. There are many clear streams and waterfalls. Shaba National Reserve, which lies east of the road linking Isiolo with Marsabit, form a trio of unusual and attractive game sanctuaries very different from others in Kenya. Shaba National Reserve has a particular place in the history of Kenya game conservation for it was in this reserve that the authoress, Joy Adamson, died; her trilogy of books on the rehabilitation of the compliant leopard to a wild environment remained unfinished. Shaba was one of Joy Adamson’s greatest African loves; it was in this tranquil wilderness where she released the first hand-raised leopards Shaba took its name from the Mount Shaba (1525 meters), a volcanic mountain that became extinct around 5,000 years ago. Mount Shaba lies on the border of the reserve. Mt. Kenya is an imposing extinct volcano dominating the landscape of the Kenyan Highlands.

Things to absolutely not miss: ✨Make sure you visit the giraffe center to feed and connect with beautiful giraffes right next to Nairobi National Park. ✨Pass by the David Sheldrick elephant center where you can adopt and support an elephant and the whole organization. ✨Visit the iconic Masai Mara National Park for an unforgettable safari experience. Still the best experience of my life. ✨Check out the East coast of Kenya and soak in the beautiful waters of Diani beach in Mombasa, you will have the opportunity to take a train that goes through Nairobi National park and if you are lucky you will be able to spot wildlife. 💖Enjoy! . . . . #travelinspiration #unforgettableexperiences #thanksgiving #nationalpark #decembertravel #nyedestinations #newyearstravel #scenicspotguide #summervacation #springholiday #naturalwonders

Getting There - Masai Mara National Reserve is approximately 5hrs drive from Nairobi. You can drive or take a flight to any of the air strips in the park. Attractions - Masai Mara National Reserve is 1500km². Given the size of the park, you never have to wait to spot interesting wildlife. The wildlife ranges from the secretary bird, vultures, ostriches, lions, cheetahs, leopards to hippopotamuses. The chances of finding a pride of lions hunting or feasting are very high. I was very lucky to have spotted the big 5 of the Mara including the elusive leopard. Vehicles are equipped with radios which the guides use to communicate with other guides to share locations of wildlife and in case of emergency. Hotels - There are several options available. I stayed at Mara Legends Camp. They have tents set up with toilets and showers. The team at the camp is very attentive to guest needs. Food & Restaurants - There is a main restaurant and a bar. At the main restaurant they served western and Indian cuisine during the 3 days I stayed there. The food was delicious and the chef accommodates to any special requests. #lion #elephant #cheetah #vulture #sunset #safari #masaimara #masaimaranationalreserve #kenya #magicalkenya #africa

#2024TravelReview Kenya is an ideal destination for family travel, especially during the annual animal migration season, which is a spectacular feast of nature that allows the whole family to experience the wonders of nature. Every year from July to October, tens of thousands of wildebeest, zebra and other wildlife migrate from Tanzania's Serengeti National Park to Kenya's Maasai Mara National Reserve. This process is not only necessary for animal survival, but also the best time to observe wildlife. The whole family can take an off-road vehicle deep into the grassland under the guidance of a professional guide and observe these spectacular animals up close. In addition to animal viewing, Kenya is also very rich in culture. Parents can take their children to visit local Maasai villages to learn about the local traditional lifestyle and enhance their children's understanding of different cultures. During such a journey, children can not only learn ecological knowledge, but also cultivate their love for nature and awareness of protection. Kenya's great animal migration is undoubtedly an unforgettable experience that will leave the whole family with beautiful memories.

In East Africa, I experienced an unparalleled luxury safari - a 9-day, 7-night adventure in Kenya and Tanzania. Bushtops Camp's two luxury camps brought me just a step away from the wildlife. 🐘 1️⃣ A seasonal wonder of the world, from June to October, I witnessed the spectacular migration of wildebeest and antelope, and was amazed by the wonders of the food chain. 🏕 2️⃣ A luxury camp on the banks of the Mara River, Serengeti Bushtops brought me into close contact with the wonders of nature. Here, I was not only a witness, but also a participant in the miracle. 🌄 3️⃣ At Mara Bushtops Camps, I looked down from a tent on a small hill to see the spectacle of wildlife licking salt, and felt the infinite charm of nature. 🌌 4️⃣ Night safari in the Maasai Mara, a safari under the stars made my heart race. Here, I experienced the unique night safari of East Africa's luxury camps. ❗[👇Click below to start your luxury safari in East Africa] ❗
