What are the must-see tourist attractions in Kenya?
Whenever people think that if they can travel to Kenya, which belongs to Africa, then its safari is the most worthy attraction to visit. The most famous Masai Mara Nature Reserve in Kenya is the place where you can see everything that belongs to Africa's wildlife.
Masai Mara National Safari - A wide variety of wild animals
The Masai Mara National Safari is located in the Serengeti National Park, part of the border between Tanzania and Kenya. The landscape is magnificent, and it is now the safari park with the largest number of animals in the world because of the huge number of animals that inhabit it and the huge number of animal migrations that take place here every year.
There are countless species of animals in the reserve, with about 95 species of mammals and 450 different species of birds, making it the most concentrated and extensive wild mammal population on earth, and surely the premier place to see wildlife in Africa.
Lake Naivasha - a great place for recreation and relaxation
Lake Naivasha is a lake on the eastern side of the East African Rift Valley. The bottom of the lake is very flat and covered with a variety of sediments; in the northern part of the lake is a swamp with papyrus. The lake is 1,884 meters above sea level and has a periodically changing water level and area. Although the lake does not have an outflow outlet, the water is still fresh water.
Several species of tilapia and black bass are the main fish of the lake. If you visit this area, there is a commercial fishing industry and fishing excursions, and it is also a good place to learn about birds. The capital of Kenya, Nairobi, is located just northwest of the lake, and many residents come here in large numbers on weekends to spend their free time. Here you can get a close look at a herd of hippos, and there are hand-fed giraffes and zebras to enjoy on the lake's small islands.
Nakuru - a bird watching paradise
Nakuru is the fourth largest city in Kenya, in the middle of the famous East African Rift Valley, and the capital of the Rift Valley Province, the largest province in Kenya. It is home to a variety of landscapes including lakes, plateaus, basins, and mountains. Lake Nakuru is world-famous for being established as a park for the protection of avian birds, and is known as a "bird watching paradise".
Since Lake Nakuru is located in a volcanic area, there are many blue-green spirulina and diatoms, which are the favorite food of the beautiful flamingos, so flamingos inhabit here, and the proportion of flamingos here is one third of the world's total.
Warm Tips:
The time to come to Kenya for animal watching is from December to March every year, because during this time there is little rain, the weather is hot and dry, and wild animals gather in places where there is water in order to cool off, and this time can be easier and more comprehensive viewing of wild animals, and almost all wild animals can be seen.
July and August is the best time of the year to see the Great Migration of animals from Kenya. Millions of animals from the Serengeti cross the equator in the east of Africa to the lush, rain-fed Kenyan savannah. The animals involved in the migration include hornbills, zebras, buffalo, antelopes and giraffes, among which the number of hornbills is the largest, so this huge animal migration is also known as the "Great Hornbill Migration".
