Aberdare National Park
The Aberdares offer striking
mountain scenery, a mix of the alps
combined with stretches of dense
jungle and amazing waterfalls, and a
large variety of animals. The
vegetation of the reserve is
separated between the high moorland
and the forested Salient which has
an abundance of wildlife including
buffalos, elephants, lions, leopard,
warthogs, bushpigs, eland,
bushbucks, reedbucks, Sykes monkey,
and black rhinos. The Aberdares
offer the unique opportunity to see
these animals at a drinking hole and
observe their behaviour at night
from the comfort of a lodge. Above
the forest is a belt of bamboo, a
favourite haunt of the Bongo, a rare
and elusive forest antelope.
At 3,000 meters, the bamboo gives
way to moorland, home to eland,
spotted and melanistic serval cats.
Other features are the giant alpine
varieties of lobelia, groundsel and
heather. Ideal for walking, picnics,
camping and trout fishing in the
rivers, the moorlands are
reminiscent of the Scottish
highlands. Mountain ranges and peaks
soar above the moorland to around
4000 meters giving way to deep
V-shaped valleys with streams and
rivers cascading over spectacular
waterfalls with the largest plunging
dramatically more than 300 meters.
Amboseli National Park & Chyulu
Hills
Amboseli National Park is located in
southern Kenya lying at between
1,180 and 1,360 m above sea level
and bounded to the south by Mt.
Kilimanjaro on the Tanzanian border.
The name Amboseli is derived from
the Maasai word 'em-posel' for the
salty dust found on the seasonally
flooded Amboseli ""lake"" when it
rains. Amboseli's swamps, plains,
woodlands and bush country support a
diversity of wildlife ranging from
the minute and rare spectacled
elephant shrew to the huge bulk of
the African elephant, the generuk
and the Fringe-eared oryx. The
swamps and lakes are also home to
over 400 bird species making the
park a paradise for bird watchers.
The dramatically rolling Chyulu
Hills lie Northwest of Tsavo West
National Park and are a collection
of ancient volcanic cinder cones.
The hills have splendid views of Mt.
Kilimanjaro and populations of
elands, giraffes, zebras and
wildebeests, lions, buffaloes and a
few elephants. Within the Chyulus is
the longest lava tube in the world -
Leviathan - formed by hot lava
flowing beneath a cooled crust. Some
of the highlights of a trekking
experience here will include lunch
at the foot of the Hills next to the
two eye catching Elmau Hills as well
as the stunning sunsets over the
majestic Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Masai Mara National Reserve: Masai
Mara Safari
The Masai Mara – endless seas of
golden grass dotted with hesitant
shrubs, broken here and there with
the ghostly acacia trees and ringed
by distant hills, the chocolate Mara
river waters with frolicking hippos,
immensely rich animal life including
countless game and large prides of
lions – fulfills the expectations of
any visitor searching the African
landscapes portrayed in movies such
as "Out of Africa".
The Mara River, the reserve's
backbone, traverses north to south
and is the natural barrier crossed
every year by more than one million
migratory wildebeests and 200,000
zebras following the seasonal rains
in a quest for the best pastures,
finding along the way the
crocodile-crowded river. From July
to October, this is a sight of one
of the most spectacular and dramatic
sites on earth.
Lake Naivasha
Lake Naivasha is a beautiful
freshwater lake, fringed by thick
papyrus and surrounded by forests
which abound with bird life, making
Naivasha known as a world class
birding destination. The waters of
the lake draw a great range of game
- Giraffes wander among the acacia,
Buffalo wallow in the swamps and
Colobus monkeys call from the
treetops while the large hippo
population sleep the day out in the
shallows. Boat trips on the lake are
a great way to spend an afternoon or
morning. Sunsets are stunning, with
the haunting call of a Fish Eagle
high over the Lake bringing the day
to a perfect end....
Hell’s Gate National Park was named
for its pair of massive red tinged
cliffs framing a geothermically
active interior of steam vents and
bubbling springs. The park is home
to a profusion of plains game and
birdlife. Walking is permitted,
making it ideal for hiking, biking,
and rock climbing.
Lake Nakuru National Park
Lake Nakuru is one of the alkaline
Rift Valley lakes with its shores
populated at times by more than one
million flamingos which has been
called "the greatest bird spectacle
on earth". Game drives offer the
opportunity to get as close as ten
meters to this spectacle and to see
elephants, giraffe, rhino and the
elusive tree climbing lions.
A particular attraction of Lake
Nakuru is the variety of wildlife
combined with its striking and
varied landscapes - driving through
the savannah, passing by the lake
and the swamps and negotiating the
rocky path up to the baboon cliffs
with their stunning views across the
entire park will create a sense of
wonder and admiration in even the
most travelled visitor.
Mount Kenya National Park
Mount Kenya is located on the
equator and is Kenya’s highest
mountain. With magnificent cliffs
and glaciers protecting the highest
peaks of Nelion (5188m) and Batian
(5199m) it makes for a spectacular
technical climb. The third highest
summit - Point Lenana, (4985m) - is
also glaciated but accessible to
walkers.
Tarns and alpine meadows; exotic,
equatorial, high-altitude
vegetation; sunbirds, hyrax and
soaring eagles make the walk around
the peaks one of the most beautiful
expeditions in the East African
mountains. Shorter walks in the
national park can be easily be
arranged while the three to four day
trek up to point Lenana typically
requires the support of guides,
cooks and porters. For serious
mountaineers, the climb to Nelion
and Batian can also be arranged.
Samburu National Reserve and Shaba
National Reserve
A place of endless skies, dust-red
plains and palm-fringed rivers,
Samburu and Shaba National Reserves
lie on the fringes of the vast and
arid desert once known as the
Northern Frontier District, whose
heat-scorched scrublands extend all
the way to the jade-green waters of
Lake Turkana and beyond. Its
dramatic landscape features rocky
battlements, craggy scarps, dry
river beds and fallen boulders
rising out of the thorn scrub
against a backdrop of the
far-distant hills and the great red
table mountain known as Lololokwi.
Samburu provides one of the few
sanctuaries in Kenya for the
endangered Grevy’s zebra and the
rare beisa oryx whilst large herds
of elephant roam the gaunt hills
during the day before returning to
bathe on the banks of the river in
the evening.
Nairobi National Park
Nairobi is the safari capital of
Africa but at the same time a city
that never seems to sleep. The
entire town has a boundless energy,
and is thriving place where all of
human life can be found. This is a
place of great contrasts where race,
tribe and origin all become facets
of a unique Nairobi character. With
a fantastic music scene, excellent
international restaurants and an
endless and colourful array of shops
and markets, there is plenty on
offer for the visitor. Just outside
the city is Nairobi National Park,
113 sq kms of plains, cliffs and
forest. The park is home to large
herds of Zebra, Wildebeest, Buffalo,
Giraffe and more. Rhino, Cheetah,
and a large number of Lions are all
found here, living wild within 20
minutes of the centre of town.
Karen and Langata are two of
Nairobi's forested suburbs situated
40mins from Jomo Kenyatta
International Airport and 20mins
from Wilson Airport.
Tsavo East and West National Parks
Tsavo East National Park is a Park
of vast plains and empty bush
savannah. It is characteristically a
plain land with mainly acacia bushes
and savannah grassland which form
good cover for wildlife. Tsavo is
habituated with one of the largest
elephant populations in the world
and Tsavo East accommodates the bulk
of them which easily observable as
they graze in the swampy plains of
the park in large or small herds.
Unlike Tsavo West, Tsavo East is
relatively flat which makes it
easier to spot game even far in the
distance, save for the thickets
which provide perfect cover for the
animals. For the most parts, the
park is waterless with seasonal
streams, waterholes and ponds which
attract animals in the dry season.
Common here are dik diks, the lesser
kudu, giraffes, zebras and
buffaloes.
Huge ranges of semi-desert bush and
open plains easily make large herds
of elephants the main attraction of
the park as they feed on the swampy
areas or visit water holes in the
hot afternoon sun. At water holes,
one would marvel at the sight of an
elephant taking a swim after
quenching their thirst or a
waterbuck taking that extra caution
not to fall prey of the waiting rare
hunting dogs renowned for their
efficient hunting skills. There are
also other scenic attractions in the
park apart from wildlife including
the Livingstone’s falls on the
crocodile and hippo infested River
Galana which is lined with beautiful
palm trees within the backdrop of
the Yatta escarpment. The park is
sparsely populated with lodges and
hotels. In fact most of the lodges
are established just outside the
park on the main Nairobi - Mombasa
Highway thus making it easily
accessible via road. There is an
airstrip at the park for small
charter planes.
Tsavo West National Park covers an
area of about 9,060 km square. It
receives an annual rainfall of
between 200-700mm. It is accessible
both by road and by air with
airstrips at Kilaguni Serena and
Finch Hatton. SafariLink, Mombasa
Air Safari and East Africa Air
Charter and flights connect from
Mombasa, Nairobi or to the Mara. The
Park can also approach the Park from
Amboseli or Taveta border. In terms
of attractions; Tsavo West is quite
a scenic place. With plains, hills
and valleys, ragged mountain blocks
like the Ngulia open in grassland,
acacia thickets, swamps and
escarpments this is a place ideal
for picture rescue covers. Yet it
still offers abundant wildlife which
is easier to spot during the dry
season when shrubs have not over
grown and also at water holes.
Being at the base of the mighty
Kilimanjaro and the Chyulu hills,
there is abundant water springs e.g.
the Mzima springs as well as the
host of small springs and ponds
which serve as water holes for
wildlife. There are also streams
flowing through the Park like the
Tsavo River being a home to many
hippopotamus.Main Attractions of
this park include game: Most big
game are easy to spot here except
the cats due to thick shrubs and
their tendency to seek cover.
Elephant herds, lone buffaloes,
zebras, giraffes, gazelles,
antelopes and wilderbeast herds are
a common sight. Other natural
features include the Shetani Caves
and Shetani lava, the Roaring Rock,
Poachers Lookout and the Rhino
Sanctuary. The Chyulu Hills National
Park lies just opposite the Park and
is a convenient spot to visit, with
spectacular views of Kilimanjaro.

Easily known as the
"Coca-Cola route", Marangu is by far the
most popular route to the summit of
Kilimanjaro. This could partly be as a
result of the fact that the Marangu is the
least expensive route, but more so, perhaps
the fact that it is possible to do the
Marangu route in 6 days, thereby getting to
the summit one day earlier than on the
Machame route. It is the easiest route to
Kilimanjaro Uhuru Peak but least scenic.

Sometimes called the
Whisky Route. This is a popular route up
steep paths through magnificent forests to
gain a ridge leading through the moorland
zones to the Shira Plateau. It then
traverses beneath the glaciated precipices
of the Southern Ice fields to join the
Barafu Route to the summit. This is probably
the most beautiful route up Kilimanjaro. All
your equipment and supplies are portered and
a cook prepares all your meals. Where
accommodation on the Marangu route is in
huts, the Machame route offers strictly
tents only. This makes Machame route better
suited to the slightly more adventurous
hiker, rewarding him with a scenic splendor
such as not seen on the Marangu route. The
Machame route is normally completed in a
minimum of 6 days.

Rongai Route This
remote and less frequently used route is the
second easiest route to Kilimanjaro. The
approach to the mountain is from the
less-forested north side and the descent is
by the Marangu Route. There are several
variations, the one described below is a
longer route taking in Mawenzi Tarn.

Umbwe Route The Umbwe
route is one of the shortest routes to the
Southern Glaciers and the Western Breach. It
is probably the most scenic, non-technical
route on Kilimanjaro. It is quite taxing,
primarily due to the relatively fast ascent
to higher altitude, but the rewards are
plentiful.

Lemosho Route This is
the longest and most remote route to
Kilimanjaro. After beautiful forests and
moorlands it crosses the Shira Plateau to
meet up with the Machame Route. Groups may
be accompanied on the first day by an armed
ranger as the forests around the Lemosho
Glades are rich in buffalo, elephant and
other game.

At 5,199 m, Mount
Kenya is the second highest peak in Africa. It
is an ancient extinct volcano, during whose
period of activity (3.1–2.6 million years ago)
it is thought to have risen to 6,500 m. Mount
Kenya is one of the most impressive landscapes
in East Africa. There are three main climbing
routes, which penetrate the forest and the
moorland - Naromoru, Sirimon and Chogoria.

Kilimanjaro Climb Expedition tips and advice
to follow:
>Find a good tour operator: You can
only climb Kilimanjaro with an organized
trek and along established routes, so you
have to go with an expert operator. The
Kilimanjaro climbing operators vary from
excellent to downright negligent so be
selective and try not to be too cheap if you
want to have the most enjoyable climb
experience. you can count on
Kilimanjaroclimbexpedition.com
>Book in advance: If you intend to
climb Kilimanjaro, be sure to book in
advance. This will enable you to go in high
season, which is January-March and
September-October. High Season is a good
time to go simply because the weather
condition is safest for Kilimanjaro
climbing.
>Get fit & prepare well: Break in
your hiking boots and walk the dog; climb
stairs; hike some hills with a pack on.
Walking is the best way to prepare yourself
for the long hike up Kilimanjaro to ensure
you have right fitness. You need to build up
stamina. It's a good idea to get a basic
medical check-up before you go. You don't
want to be dealing with an ingrown toenail
or worse at 18,000 feet. Travel insurance
that includes medical is also a must.
>Pack well: Pack light but make
sure you have everything you need to deal
with altitude and variation in temperatures.
Don't worry about carrying it yourself since
a porter/s will take up to 30lbs (15kg) of
your personal gear in a duffel bag. You can
rent some equipment and clothing locally but
you may end up with teeny sleeping bags and
a fraying pink jacket. See our recommended
climb checklist.
>Choose your convenient route: Make
sure your hike is at least 6-7 days to
provide the much needed Kilimanjaro
commodity, acclimatisation if you want to
have maximum success. Any shorter and you
will not be properly acclimatized. Routes
vary in degree of difficulty, traffic and
scenic beauty. The least difficult routes
are Marangu and Rongai; the more difficult
routes are Machame, Umbwe and Lemosho. The
longer routes may have more difficult hiking
but you'll be more acclimatized and your
chances of reaching the summit are therefore
higher. The longer western routes also allow
you to start your summit day at a more
reasonable hour. For details on each route
see route descriptions.
>Dealing with altitude: Pace
yourself; you will hear the Swahili phrase
"pole pole" - slowly slowly, heed it well.
Drink lots of water about 4-5 liters a day
is recommended. Luckily the mountain streams
after the first day are good to drink and
naturally cooled. Walk high and sleep low.
Take a walk to a higher elevation during the
day and come back down to sleep. Consult a
doctor before you go and get some medication
to prevent altitude sickness. Also make sure
your guides are carrying the proper medical
equipment such as oxygen, radios and a
recompression bag to deal with altitude
sickness if it arises.
>Reaching the summit: The hardest
part of the trek. Pace yourself, be
determined, and you will reach the Uhuru
peak. The final ascent is usually timed so
you can watch the sunrise over the crater
and distant plains. Enjoy the view take a
few photos and get back down before you get
too affected by the high altitude. Take a
well earned nap.
Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania stands at
19,340 feet (5895 m) and is Africa's tallest
mountain. The attraction of hiking up Mount
Kilimanjaro is that it's not a technical
climb so no equipment such as oxygen and
ropes are necessary. But it's no walk in the
park. As you you'll see from the images
below, trekkers make their way through 5
climatic zones before reaching the summit.
Weather changes from moment to moment and
the high altitude wreaks havoc on the body
and mind...read more.

East Africa travel destinations that we
include in our catalogue include Kenya,
Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda. East Africa is
home to the safari, since this is where the
African savannah is at its best and the
plains are filled with wildlife. Hikers also
come to East Africa to enjoy the mountains,
including Mount Kilimanjaro (Tanzania),
Mount Kenya, Mount Longonot and Mount Meru.
The East African coastline has some of the
best beaches in the world, including the
famous spice island of Zanzibar.
Kenya Safari:
Kenya is the original safari country where
the 'safari' (Swahili for travel) begun. In
Kenya, you can mix the idyllic experience of
a tropical beach vacation on the warm Indian
Ocean with an East African wild animal
safari expedition. Combining the two makes
for a unique holiday. Part of your vacation
is filled with excitement as you observe
African wildlife at close quarters, while
part is spent relaxing and soaking up the
sun on a sandy beach.
A beach and safari break in Kenya is an
exotic getaway from the daily routines of
city life. It also makes for the ideal
honeymoon for newly weds, with time to relax
as well as a touch of adventure.
East Africa, including Kenya, does not yet
have a high profile as a holiday destination
in America, but is growing in reputation as
a unique vacation experience. Europeans, and
the British in particular, have less
distance to travel to Africa, and have been
been the mainstay of Kenyan tourism,
attracted by the unique mix of the tropical
beach and African safari vacation. Luxury
vacations have become more affordable as
European currencies have strengthened,
prompting investment in Kenyan tourist
facilities.
Tanzania Safari:
Safari in Tanzania is a worth undertaking.
We are the original safari company offering
quality Tanzania safaris to Ngorongoro
Crater, animal migration tours in Serengeti,
Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
honeymoon vacations in Zanzibar Island,
family holidays in spice island and luxury
beach resorts of pemba island. A variety of
accommodation in Tanzania is offered from

The best time to go for an African safari is
when the animals are easy to find and in
dense numbers. Deciding when to go on safari
depends on what country you would like to
visit and when you are able to plan your
trip. Seasons differ in East Africa so you
can really plan a great safari for almost
every month of the year, if you are flexible
about where you want to go to.....:
Kenya:
The best time to go on safari in Kenya and
experience a huge density and diversity of
wildlife is when the annual migration of
millions of wildebeest, zebra and gnu's
descend on the Mara plains with predators
close behind. The best time to see this
wildlife spectacle is from July to October.
Other parks in Kenya are also excellent and
the best time to visit these would be during
the dry seasons - January through March and
July through October.
With the scarcity of water during the dry
seasons, the animals tend to gather in more
concentrated numbers around permanent water
holes, rivers and lakes, so they are easier
to find. The vegetation is also less lush
which simply means that viewing animals from
a distance is easier.
Tanzania:
If you want to see the Great Migration
unfold, head to Tanzania's northern parks;
the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The best time
to witness the annual migration is probably
February - March when the wildebeest and
zebra have their young. Not only can you
enjoy seeing baby animals, but the predators
are at the highest number too. Because the
herds also concentrate in the south of the
Serengeti, it's easy to plan your wildlife
viewing in that area and find a safari
company that offers lodging there.
June to November is Tanzania's dry season
and is the best time to visit all the parks
(and you can always hop over to Kenya's
Masai Mara to witness the Great Wildebeest
Migration during this time). Tanzania's
Southern Parks are perfect to visit during
this time since the animals tend to
congregate around permanent water and it
isn't so hot and humid.
All of Tanzania's parks suffer from the
rains which generally fall from March to May
in the North, and from November to May in
the South and West. Roads get washed out and
given the sheer size of Tanzania's parks,
the animals tend to spread out, and this
makes wildlife viewing less satisfying (if
you're looking for sheer numbers of
animals).
December through March can get quite hot and
humid, especially in Western and Southern
Tanzania which makes it a little
uncomfortable to spend a lot of time in the
bush.
If you want to add a hike up Mount
Kilimanjaro to your safari, the best time to
hike is January - March and September -
October.

Masai
Mara - Serengeti wildebeest migration:
Wildebeest migration to and back from Serengeti into
the Maasai Mara is the single most popular wildlife
spectacle in Kenya. The wildebeest migration is such
a phenomenon it involves movement of over 1 million
animals crossing plains and rivers in the Mara
migration. River crossings are the most spectacular
where the wildebeest of
Mara jump into rivers full of crocodiles and surging
currents. The wildebeest is feted as the clown of
the Savannah. Also known as a gnu, the animal has a
structure resembling a young horse with a heavily
built frontal shoulders and chest and a slender
posterior. Its legs are so slender it’s intriguing
how it supports the proportionately larger body
frame. The ‘clown’ title results from its unusual
behavior considered to other bovids, for example a
gnu herd will usually scatter in different
directions when attacked by a lion.

Mount Kenya: Mount Kenya National Park
Mount Kenya plays a crucial role in the life of
the country being Kenya's single most important
permanent watershed and her largest forest
reserve. The fertile soils of its lower slopes
