The Rift Valley Kenya Vacation And Safari Package Spots

So much has been said or written about Kenya; most what has been reported about this great nation is what I will call negative publicity especially after the post election war of 2007 that saw the number of tourist coming to Kenya drop drastically. The country was then hit by drought the next year (2008) this resulted into the death of not only human but also wildlife in the major game parks. Nevertheless Kenya is back again on its feet. Last year and early this year, has seen the Country receive a tremendous amount of rain, that has improved the situation in the Parks and again the green color has dominated our major Game Parks. Hence this season is one of the best to visit vacation spots in this Country.

I will start with the Great Rift Valley which is the pinnacle of Safari in Kenya. Just a few miles from the Capital City Nairobi, a stopover at the Rift Valley view point, will give you a breath taking panorama of this ancient Valley. Mt. Longonot a famous spot for game viewing and hiking, stares at you ready to challenge your hiking techniques. At its side sits Lake Naivasha a fresh water Lake laden with over 300 species of birds, hippos and not to forget mentioning boat riding trips to its crescent island a sanctuary of animals including the giraffes, buffaloes, monkeys and impalas. On its shores is where the famous couple george and joy adamson, built their home. This home is now a lodge and has a private museum dedicated to them.

Beside Lake Naivasha reveals a vast wilderness that is renowned around the World. The one and only Hell's Gate National Park. This is the only spot in Kenya that you can enjoy Rock climbing and hiking amongst wild animals. It's filled with some of the best game in Kenya, including; zebras, elands, dik diks etc. Just to mention a few. Further down comes Lake Nakuru the famous Flamingo Paradise. This National Park combines Bird viewing, Game Drive Safari and Game Tracking. Apart from the famous Flamingoes the Lake is also a home to varieties of Herons, Ducks, Pelicans, Ibises and Stocks. Cape Buffaloes are in thousands, while gigantic Elands roam freely in the grassland. Also found here are the near distinct white Rhino. To have an eye view of the Lake, please don't forget to visit The Baboon Cliff towering about 300metres above the Lake. Here hundreds of mischievous Baboon thrives amidst thorny plantations and Rocks. If you are observant you will catch a glimpse of multicolored Lizards peeping from the Rocks. Beware as you sit down to eat your lunch, some of the Baboons can be very cheeky they might actually snatch away your lunch! We have other animals found on this Lake, they include; Thompson Gazelles, Giraffes, Waterbucks, Ostriches, Leopards Cheetahs and Lions. Remember that the Cats are absolutely rare to see here in daytime, unless you are absolutely lucky! They normally come out to hunt at night.

Last but not least we have the Maasai Mara Game Reserve once declared the 7th wonder of the World. This vast Reserve extends to the neighboring Serengeti in Tanzania. Every year we have thousands of Wild beasts migrating to and from the two Reserves via River Mara. Watching the animals plunge into the water as some of them fall victims to the huge Nile Crocs is breathtaking. At Maasai Mara, you can either enjoy a game drive or get airborne on a Balloon for about 500USD. The cats here are readily available. Hundreds of Lions and Cheetahs roaming amongst the Savanna Grassland, looking for other animals to prey on. I have been lucky thrice. Once watching a Cheetah hunt down an Impala and twice watch as a pack of Lions bring down a huge Cape buffalo! The most important

Tanzania Safari Top Five National Parks and Game Reserves

Ask about perfect wildlife destinations and a Tanzania safari will be at or near the top of the list every time.

savannah cat

But what about the national parks and game reserves within the country itself? Which are the best to visit because they can't all be equally good.

SAVANNAH CAT

Well, the top five list below provides the answers to that. It's been set up by using objective travel diaries at the African Safari Journals website, my twenty years of safari experience, forums, travel magazines and general consensus within the safari industry...

1. Serengeti NP

One of the best safari parks in Africa bar none. The wildlife viewing on a Tanzania safari here often borders on the spectacular aided by the fact that the vegetation is predominantly grassland which makes spotting animals from a distance considerably easier.

The grassland is also able to sustain a multitude of herbivores like wildebeest, zebra and gazelle which in turn sustains a large population of predators to feed on them so it's no surprise that the Serengeti is often referred to as "big cat central". In the Masaai language Serengeti means "endless plain" which is very close to the truth.

Two extraordinary events occur here that make it an even more remarkable place to take a tanzania safari. The annual wildebeest migration and the birth of hundreds of thousands of wildebeest foals.

The migration occurs as the massive herds of up to a million individuals begin their search for better grazing by moving north. The exact timing is dependant on the seasonal rains but they travel across the Serengeti en masse roughly between April and August.

In February - March, months before they begin their epic journey, the wildebeest give birth within a six week period to hundreds of thousands of calves, taking advantage of the sweet grazing available in the Serengeti at that time.

They all foal at the same time to cause a glut of prey opportunities for the predators who make full use of the bonanza while they can.

2. Ngorongoro Conservation Area

To call the Ngorongoro Crater amazing would be an understatement as it ranks as one of the wonders of the natural world because it is so unique.

Formerly a mountain which stood as tall as Kilimanjaro it blew up in a volcanic upheaval causing the crater floor to sink and form the largest intact caldera in the world with walls 2200 metres high.

Once it had cooled the rich pasture and permanent water on the crater floor began to attract wildlife and today around 30 000 individuals populate this garden of Eden forming the most densely crowded game area in the world.

Here you will find a population of Tanzania's few remaining black rhinos and a healthy collection of predators like lion, cheetah and the odd leopard and of course the ubiquitous wildebeest, zebra and Thompson's gazelle.

What you won't find are herds of elephant because they tend to prefer the forested highlands but the bulls do sometimes venture to the crater floor. Also absent are giraffe who like the acacia trees found higher up and impala, orynx and topi that favour the grassland plains of the Serengeti.

Lake Magadi is an irresistible attraction to water birds like flamingos, avocets, stilts and plovers which throng the shallows of this soda lake. an excellent destination for any Tanzania safari.

3. Tarangire NP

This park is all about solitude, peace, quiet and elephants. There are vast herds of the pachyderms here sometimes numbering up to six hundred and also some really big buffalo herds.

There are less tourists on a Tanzania safari here because many of them stick to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro circuit to the north which is their loss because the Tarangire National Park is a gem if you visit at the right time.

The dry season from June to September is the best for wildlife viewing because that is when thousands of animals congregate to drink the waters of the Tarangire river while they tend to disperse during the wet season because there is water elsewhere.

The birdlife here is also exceptional with over 550 species recorded. Your chances of spotting python seem to more than even for some or other reason maybe because they have taken to climbing the trees in the area.

Panoramic views of savannah grassland punctuated by acacia and baobab trees make this an extremely picturesque park. Avoid it during the months of April and May which is when the heavy rains fall.

4. Lake Manyara NP

Ask anyone who has been on a Tanzania safari to Lake Manyara and they will probably tell you about the amazing tree climbing lions who choose to sleep off the heat of the day on a branch rather then on the ground like other lions.

Also the amazing birdlife that can be found around this lake like cormorants, pelicans, storks, egyptian geese, flamingos and huge flocks of quelea.

The well known environmental writer Duncan Butchart recommends that "if a first-time bird watcher to Africa visit only a single reserve in Tanzania, then this surely must be it".

You will also find some rarer species here like the Olive baboon and Sykes monkey troops that lord it over the forest and also all the usual suspect like elephant, crocodile, hippo, buffalo, antelope and leopard.

5. Ruaha NP

This park is one of Tanzania's best kept secrets and if the old tanzania safari hands could have their own way that's the way it would stay so that they could keep its seclusion and isolation all to themselves.

But the secret is out and more and more people are visiting the countries second largest national park to immerse themselves in the varied landscape of wild fig and baobab trees and the excellent wildlife spotting opportunities most notably of packs of wild dog.

Ruaha also has a number of fearsome lion prides capable of reducing a large male buffalo to a skeleton in a few hours and an impressive tally of antelope species: Grants gazelle and Lesser Kudu at the south of their ranges and sable, roan and greater kudu to name a few.

Your chances of seeing elephant on a Tanzania safari here are excellent as there are more than 12 000 of them resident here and for the birders there are a high number of resident and migratory species available to see.

Kenya migration sightseeing in Masai Mara

The most spectacular Kenya sightseeing tour event in the Masai Mara reserve is the Kenya migration of over 2.5million herds of wildebeest, gazelle and zebra. The animals cross from the plains of the expansive Serengeti into Kenya Masai Mara and back following the rain patterns and young grass.

The migration is at its earnest in late June in Kenya. The predators are always close behind snatching a few of them including the Leopard, lion, cheetah, and hyena.

Masai Mara wildebeest migration river crossings

The vultures also form a cyclic realm around the migration as they move on the plains and pick up on the remains of cats kill or the opportune too weak to move- victim. By far the most spectacular and hair raising event in the migration is the Masai Mara river crossing. A rarity for tourists in the months of July through August.

Kenya animal safari in Masai Mara

Masai Mara not only offers the migration but also has all year round sublime game viewing opportunities. There are over 20 prides of African lion in the Masai Mara. Sighting of the lion in the Mara is a certainty rather than the exception.

Other wildlife always seen in the Mara includes elephant, zebra, gazelle, leopard, lion, cheetah, rhino, buffalo, hartebeest, hippo, crocodiles. In total there are 452 species of wildlife in the Masai Mara.

Masai Mara Accommodation in safari lodges and safari camps

Masai Mara accommodation and lodges vary from the brick and mortar lodges to the luxury and standard tented camps. The northern Masai Mara area is largely Masai group sanctuaries and is able to offer game walks, night game drives and day game-viewing.

Masai Mara & wildebeest Kenya migration: New world Wonder

In November 2006, the Masai Mara-Serengeti ecosystem and the wildebeest Kenya migration were awarded the status of the new 7th wonder of the world. The panel of scientists who were accompanied by American TV ABC channel 1 journalists indicated that the world is lucky to have a mobile phenomenon as the new world wonder.

The panel marveled at the sheer determination of the millions of wildebeest over many a past century, to migrate against all odds driven by the mere need to find new and fresh pastures.

The award ceremony which was aired live in the American show Good Morning America was viewed by millions of viewers who have expressed interest in witnessing this breath taking phenomenon.

Masai people of Kenya tour trips

Complimenting the Masai Mara Kenya migration is of course the warrior-like and nomadic life of the Masai people. The Masai people of Kenya have for a long time been the symbol of Kenyan tourism industry. The Masai, who depend on cattle entirely, will draw blood from a live cow by meticulously puncturing the jugular for blood.

The drawn blood is mixed with a mixture of cooked meat. This cuddles into a thick tasty meat stew that is delicious and African in all aspects.

Masai warrior-Moran

You will get a chance to visit a Masai 'Manyatta' (homestead) made of low windowless dung plastered houses. Here you will be entertained by the Masai 'Moran' (warriors) and women dancers and also get a chance to buy that cherished Masai beadwork souvenir.

Kenya Camp park-Masai Mara
Your Kenyan tour operator will set up tented camps inside the game ranches or the reserve for small group of travelers looking for real camping safaris. There are about 4000 bed nights available in the Masai Mara annually.
