Kenya National Parks
ABERDARE NATIONAL PARK
The Park is part of the Aberdare Mountain
Range which forms the steep eastern edge of the Rift Valley. It lies
approx 180kms north of Nairobi and has an altitude of 7,000 to 14,000
ft. The scenery in this region is spectacular and impressive as is the
range of wildlife. Due to the dense forest vegetation, you will need to
do some searching for the wildlife, but there are also many purposes
built game viewing lodges. Game to be found in the park includes;
elephant, lion, black rhino, waterbuck, gazelle, giant forest hog, genet
cats, leopard, buffalo and the rare spiral-horned antelope known as the
bongo.
AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK
Amboseli National Park, although small,
at approx 395 sq km, is one of Kenya's most popular parks. The views of
Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak, coupled with the variety of
game to be found, draws the visitors in. The park which lies
approximately 140kms south of Nairobi on the border with Tanzania, is
most famed for its' large herds of elephants. A combination of drought,
increased tourism, and over-grazing has had a hard-hitting effect on the
western side of the park, the land has become dry, dusty and barren and
the animals that were once there have moved into areas of shrub forest
and marshland.
LAKE NAKURU NATIONAL PARK
The park entrance lies 6km from Nakuru
town and the main attraction is Lake Nakuru, a shallow alkaline soda
lake set beneath the high cliffs of the eastern Rift Valley. It is an
ornithologists' paradise offering the spectacular view of up to 2
million flamingos at one time (during the season) along with hundreds of
other species including birds of prey. An area of 190 sq km around the
lake is fenced in as a national park and has been made a sanctuary for
Rothschild giraffes and black rhinos.
MARSABIT NATIONAL PARK
The Marsabit National Reserve lies in
northern Kenya in a densely forested mountain park, being home two
beautiful crater lakes. The park was once famous for it's large tusker
elephants but that was before the poachers slaughtered most the large
ones. Elephants are still in abundance along with large herbs of kudu
and many birds of prey.
MASAI MARA GAME RESERVE -
The Masai Mara is regarded as the most
favorite and is definitely the most popular game reserve in Kenya,
having over 140,000 visitors per year. The reserve lies approx 270km
west of Nairobi and covers an area of approximately 1,510 sq km,
bordering with the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The landscaped
is mostly open Savannah grasslands and acacia shrubland.
Starting any time from late July the wildebeest follow the rains and
grazing to the wide and open grasslands of what has become known as "the
Mara". They may be late, but they will always make the trip, driven by
dry conditions in the Serengeti and led by the lightning and thunder to
the north. Come November they start the homeward leg, bound again for
the Serengeti.
At this time of the year you will see a large number of lion, hippo,
crocodile and vultures all of which prey on the weak and young migrating
animals. Other game to be found in the Masai Mara at any time of the
year include; elephants, cheetahs, baboons, gazelles, giraffes, jackals,
cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, water buffalo, ostriches, and a large
variety of antelope and birdlife.
MERU NATIONAL PARK
The park is situated approximately 360km
northeast of Nairobi and covers an area of 870 sq kms. This park was the
setting for Joy Adamson's book "Born Free" and it remains one of Kenya's
most unspoilt parks. The scenery is varied, wild and beautiful, from
woodlands at 3,000 ft on the slope of Nyambeni Mountain Range to wide
open plaints with many rivers running through. Game found here includes;
lion, cheetah, leopard, elephant, antelopes, and buffalo. In the many
rivers hippo and crocodile are found in abundance. You may be lucky to
spot Kenya only colony of the rare white rhino.
There are several other parks which can be visited from here within a
day, they include Bisandi National Reserve, Kora National Park, Rahole
National Reserve and Mwingi National Reserve.
MOUNT KENYA
The National Park lies approximately
176kms northeast of Nairobi and covers an area of approximately 700 sq
kms, with a landscape consisting mainly of forest and bare rock. Mount
Kenya is an extinct volcano straddled across the equator, and is
Africa's second highest peak. The altitude ranges from between 11,000 to
17,058ft, with the highest peaks being Batian at 17,058ft and Nelion at
17,022ft. These are regularly climbed by experienced climbers though
very few actually make it to the top. The more popular peak for climbers
is the easier Lenana which reaches a height of 16,354ft. and can be
climbed without the use of specialist equipment. Climbers are often
accompanied by a guide, with ports being available. There are climbers
huts is rest up in, but plenty of food and warm clothes should be taken
with you. The best time of the year for climbing is from mid-January to
late February and from late August through September
The scenery is stunning and quite breathtaking. It is also a botanist's
paradise, with a wide variation in flora as the altitude changes.
The region is home to a variety of wildlife including some unique
species, such as Black and White colobus and Sykes monkeys, bushbuck,
buffalo, elephant, Olive baboon, waterbuck, black rhino, leopard, hyena,
bongo and at high altitudes zebra and eland can be found.

NAIROBI NATIONAL PARK
Nairobi National Park is only 20 minutes
drive from the city and is ideal if you only have a stopover in the city
and want to experience some of Africa's game. Because of it's location,
there are many visitors, both tourists and residents but you are
guaranteed to see an abundance of game, seemingly unaware and unafraid
of humans. The elephant is the only one of the 'big five' not found
here, but leopard, lion, buffalo, rhino, giraffe, hippo, crocodile,
antelope, wildebeest, eland, zebra and Thompson's gazelle as well as
many other species are here in abundance.
At the western end of the park is an Animal Orphanage, dedicated to
young animals who are injured or deserted in the wild. Here they are
studied and cared for until they can be returned to the reserve.
SAMBURA & BUFFALO SPRINGS -
The Samburu and Buffalo Springs National
Reserves lie northeast of Nairobi halfway to Lake Turkana and cover an
area of approximately 300 sq kms. The area is arid and largely
semi-desert, but has a large concentration of game including some
species not found elsewhere; such as the oryx,, gerenuk, Reticulated
giraffe and grevy's Zebra. Other game includes ostriches, elephants and
leopards who are lured into the lodges with bait, so the tourists can
get a glimpse.

of Lions, Cheetah, Crocodile, hundreds of species of birds and other
game
SIBILOI NATIONAL PARK
This is Kenya's most remote national
park, lying right in the north of the country bordering with Lake
Turkana. The region is hot, dry and windswept, but surprising has a
large variety of wildlife and birds. These include Grevy's zebra,
ostrich, gerenuk, oryx, tiang and a large population of Nile crocodile
in the lake. The park's petrified forest is proof that this region was
once lush and densely forested.
Due to the remoteness and inhospitable terrain most people visit this
area in organised groups.
TSAVO EAST NATIONAL PARK
This is one of Kenya's oldest and largest
parks, but huge areas, mainly to the north of the Galana River, are
completely closed to the public. The southern accessible area of the
park includes the Kanderi Swamp and the Aruba Dam on the Voi river and
has large concentrations of game including hippo, giant crocodiles lion,
leopard, waterbuck, kudu, zebra and ostrich. It is also home to the
largest herds of elephant in Kenya, usually covered in red dust. The
park provides for excellent photography with it's spectacular views such
as Mudanda Rock and Yatta Plateau.
TSAVO WEST NATIONAL PARK

Nairobi off the main Mombasa-Nairobi road and has three rivers flowing
through it; the Galana, the Athi and the Tsavo attracting large
concentrations of game including buffalo, rhino, giraffe, zebra, lion,
leopard, cheetah crocodile and many varieties of antelope.
In the northwestern corner of the park is Shetani Lava Flow, a massive
lava bed created by an eruption in the Chyulu Hills where the raw cone
at the centre can still be seen. Rain falling in these hills is purified
as it soaks through the porous volcanic ash , running underground for
50km, resurfacing at the lush Mzimba Springs, which is one of the parks
main attractions. This is haven to crocodiles and hippo and a waterhole
for a large variety of other game. |
