Amboseli National Park Kenya Safari from Nairobi begins
with a visit to Samburu
National Reserve - a not very well-known, but definitely
worth a visit.
Samburu National Reserve is situated on the banks
of the Ewaso Nyiro River in Kenya. This means plenty
of water, trees and shade to attract wildlife like
elephant, lion, giraffe and zebra from the surrounding
savannah plains. Leopards are also regularly spotted.
The
reserve is not particularly well-known and is therefore
not too crowded - a huge plus in Kenya where so many
reserves are often overflowing with tourists. It is
often grouped together with the Buffalo Springs and
Shaba National Reserves as they lie so close together.
Our
next stop is the Aberdare National Park - created
in 1950 to protect the forested slopes and moors of
the Aberdare Mountains. The park has elephant, lion,
rhino, black leopard and the beautiful but elusive
bongo antelope.
Both
Treetops and The Ark are built above the ground beside
floodlit waterholes with salt licks. Visitors must
book in advance and cannot make their own way to the
lodges in private vehicles. Instead check-in is at
the Aberdare Country club for The Ark and the Outspan
Hotel for Treetops, from where guests are bussed to
their respective lodges.
Treetops
is one of Kenya's most famous hotels - this is where
British Princess Elizabeth was informed that she had
become Queen in 1952 on news of her father's death.
Our
African Spice Safaris 6 Days/ 5 Nights safari grand
finale is the with Amboseli National Park - an excellent
place to view a multitude of wildlife, including everything
from Lions, Cheetah to Wildebeest to Giraffes to Baboons.
Optional visit to a Masai village is available as
this is the home of the Masai people. Here you learn
about their tribal social systems, customs and the
place of the Masai in today’s Africa.
The
residents live in their Manhattan, or village, much
as they have for centuries and a visit gives you the
opportunity to see the interior of these mud-hut homes,
spotless and unadorned, contrasted with the Masai themselves,
bedecked with brilliantly colored beads and cloths.
The
grand finale is the Masai Mara Game Reserve famous for,
cheetah, buffalo, wildebeest, zebra, leopard, grants
gazelle are quite common, even the rare rhino. Between
game drives there is optional visit to the Masai village
for an insight to their culture.
