SIGHTSEEING

Lake Nakuru National Park: Located in the Southern Rift Valley, Lake Nakuru National Park is one of the most beautiful places to visit. It is also home to the rare pink flamingos. You will be able to see hundreds of them fishing at Lake Nakuru.

Menengai Crater:Menenjai may be a dormant volcano but it looked very much alive while we stood at its edge watching it ooze out lava smoke. What scared us more were the stories locals told us, especially the one about devils who farm near the earth' core. Eerie! But stories apart, this crater is a great place for an overnight campout. Also check out the Hyrax Hill Prehistoric Site, which is considered a major Neolithic and Iron Age site.

Masai Mara National Park

The Masai Mara National Park is located in the south-eastern region of Kenya, and is one of the best known and efficiently administrated wildlife reserves in Africa.

Nairobi

Nairobi is the capital and largest city of Kenya. The word Nairobi is derived from the Masai phrase "Enkare Nyirobi", which means the "the place of cool waters". The city lies along the banks of the River Nairobi, and is also popularly known as the "Green City in the Sun". Founded as a simple rail depot at the end of the 19th century, the city has grown to be one of the largest cities on the continent. But unlike most cities that grew in the 20th century, it is surrounded by the hundreds of square kilometres of plains, forests, and cliffs that make up Nairobi National Park. The city is also known as the Safari Capital of Africa, providing easy access to some of the best national parks on the continent. So, take a safari and check out all manner of wildlife, visit the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage (also keeps Rhinos), observe the tall gangly creatures at the Giraffe Centre, and educate yourself at the Nairobi National Museum, National Railway Museum, and Bomas of Kenya. Also visit Uhuru Gardens, which was built in remembrance of the struggle for independence. You can also white-water raft on the Tana River, an hour away. The city, a blend of world-cultures, also has many restaurants, bars, and entertainment centres, filled with hundreds of cuisines and activities.
