Safari in Kenya

written by Teresa Nielsen

Looking for an adventure that will keep you as well as the kids entertained? Want to do something extraordinary and exhilarating? This week we will be highlighting adventurous vacations that people of all ages can enjoy! So pack your sunscreen as we explore these end-of-summer adventures!

Kenya Safari

Bring your binoculars; we’re going on safari in Kenya, Africa. There’s no telling what you might see on this adventure, from mud covered elephants, to zebras, giraffes, rhinos, and wildebeests, this is no trip to the zoo! You and the entire family can enjoy watching these animals in their natural habitat. Be sure to keep your legs covered and avoid wearing light colors (which attract bugs), as you venture out with your tour guide.

RealTraveler The Three Amigos writes about a visit to Abedere National Park:

“The Park is very lush, every shade of green you can imagine. They have had rain, so the watering holes are full, which is where we saw the warthogs. The terrain is hilly and covered in bushes and shrubs with occasional tall trees dripping with parasitic yellow and red ferns breaking the skyline. But green, it is so green. Along the side of the trails are high shrubs, almost like hedges broken up with small clearings and what look like cave openings into a deeper wood. Then, we would pass large grassy areas with more warthogs, or buffalo. This was not the “bush” I was expecting. This was more like the New Forest, or Yosemite without the mountains…” (more…)

Next, be sure to visit the amazing Lake Nakuru National Park! Known for its large population of flamingos, the kids will watch with amusement! With such beautiful pink and white colors all around, you have never seen anything like this!

The Three Amigos describe the sight:

“Lake Nakuru should be called Flamingo Lake. There are literally thousands of them. White and Pink. They are attracted here by the specific algae found in the Lake. As we approached, the lake looked like it was covered with pink flowers and then the closer we got the flamingos themselves standing on one leg, looked like they were just growing out of the water. This park had different animals – Alex said we were sure to see a lion or two (we didn’t) but they did have loads of giraffes and white rhinos and ostriches and baboons running around.” (more…)

Have extra time? Visit Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. Stop by at the Nairobi Animal Orphanage, and have dinner at the infamous Carnivore restaurant, where you can choose any kind of meat you want, including Ostrich meatballs.

Why wait? Escape the ordinary and plan your safari today!
