Josphat of Phil Travel Safaris was nice and attention to details and took care of us well."
    Koyaki
    >100km from Nairobi
    Highlights: Masai Mara National Reserve is a famous wildlife reserve in the world. This animal paradise consists of open plains, woodlands, rivers and forests. Nearly 100 species of mammals and more than 400 species of birds live here. Home to wild mammals. Watch zebras, giraffes, and antelopes foraging on the grasslands; watch rare birds and monkeys in the acacia forests; the abundance of elephants and bison is aesthetically exhausting; and the Mara River is home to big-billed hippos and fierce crocodiles. world. The Masai Mara is beautiful all year round, but the celestial journey from July to September is especially spectacular. Millions of clumsy wildebeests, zebras and antelopes, in search of sustenance for food, migrate north from Tanzania's Serengeti National Park, across the Mara River, towards the Masai Mara, and again around October. Return to the south. I have to mention that Masai Mara is a well-known romantic sunset spot. In a golden-red world mirrored by the sunset, the vigorous plants on the vast grasslands and the quiet and leisurely animals complement each other. Such a beautiful scenery is seen only once. Make it unforgettable for a lifetime.

    "It is located in the south of the city - that's what makes it different. If you want a real wilderness escape or safari tour, visit it. There are a variety of wildlife, ranging in size from lions to hyenas, giraffes to boars, caged snakes to "millipedes," lizards to monkeys, gazelles to antelopes... and more than 400 species of birds. Our interactions with animals are smooth and friendly - keeping a safe distance from animals. The guide is well informed about all the details of wildlife. The admission fee is reasonable - not expensive, and if your passion for nature is intact, you can book and spend a good time at the park Nairobi tent camp. Plan a day and visit the park, I guarantee it will be worth your time. This will give you more reason to appreciate nature and wildlife."
    Amboseli
    >100km from Nairobi
    Highlights: Amboseli National Park is located on the border of Kenya. The park covers an area of 392 square kilometers. Due to its proximity to Mount Kilimanjaro, the top of Africa surrounded by clouds, it attracts groups of tourists. Entering the Amboseli National Park, the first thing you can see is the perennially dry Lake Amboseli (the lake is only visible during the rainy season), which is famous for its spectacular mirages from time to time. Amboseli means "dry lake". ObservationHill and its vicinity are excellent viewing points, and the EnkongoNarok swamp near ObservationHill is a good place to see black rhinos, hippos, elephants, wildebeest, antelope and water buffalo. The oasis beside Kioko Lake to the north of Observation Hill is a bird watching spot, where you can see flocks of flamingos, geese, crowned cranes, Egyptian geese, etc. Elephants: Amboseli is a paradise for elephants, there are huge herds because there are fewer trees here. African elephants are animals with sensitive sense of smell and hearing. Their food mainly includes grass, grass roots, tree buds, shrubs, bark, fruits and vegetables, etc. They drink 30-50 gallons of water every day. Aged around 70 years old. ObservationHill: ObservationHill is located in the southeast of Lake Amboseli. Climbing up the steps on the top of the mountain can overlook the entire national park and watch the well-known peak of Africa, Mt. Kilimanjaro in the distance. Here is Kilimanjaro Snow Mountain. One of the viewing spots in the 19th century, the snow-capped peaks towering and elephants swarmed, this landscape is regarded as the iconic classic picture of Africa.

    "Lake Nakuru is a famous natural lake in Kenya. The lake is very large in size and there are many wildlife in the lake, such as crocodiles, hippos, etc. There is no commercial development here, you can enjoy it by boat, this original beauty is really moving."
    Nakuru
    >100km from Nairobi
    Highlights: Lake Nakuru is a lake in Kenya, one of the Great Rift Valley lakes in East Africa, located in Lake Nakuru National Park. Lake Nakuru is located in the volcanic zone, and the lake water has a high salinity, which is suitable for the growth of plankton, which are the staple food of flamingos, so it is known as "the paradise of flamingos". Lake Nakuru National Park is a park established to protect avian birds and is known as a "bird-watching paradise". Flamingos, also known as big red cheeks, are well-proportioned, with black, white, rose, and vermilion feathers. They like to form flocks. They often gather more than 10,000 birds. Looking from a distance, they look like brocades, gorgeous and unusual, and they fly in groups. Spectacular.

    "Lake Naivasha, Kenya! It rained as soon as I got on the boat. The tour guide suggested not to sit. There is a pity! Lake Naivasha in the haze has a special charm. There are private territories by the lake, and many locals are playing leisurely. The monkeys by the lake are very cute!"
    Sulmac Village
    76.2km from Nairobi
    Highlights: Lake Naivasha is located at the bottom of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa. Lake Naivasha is a pearl in the Great Rift Valley and one of the most beautiful freshwater lakes in Kenya. There are papyrus swamps by the lake, and the lakeside hotel "Lake Naivasha Country Club (Lake Naivasha Country Club)" has beautiful scenery. There are many hippos and various birds in Lake Naivasha. Boating on the lake, it is very likely that the hippo will have two small ears on the edge of the boat, giving you a surprise. It is also a paradise for flying birds, such as ospreys, spotted dogs, pelicans, and hundreds of species of birds gather here. At the same time, Lake Naivasha is also a place rich in coffee, black tea and flowers in Kenya. Here you can enjoy the tranquil scenery of the lake. Giraffes, water antelopes, wildebeests and other animals can be seen on the island.
