Mara Triangle

The Mara is a beautiful but sensitive environment that can survive only if properly respected. Well-watered by the Mara River, enjoying abundant vegetation, wildlife and rainfall, its ecology would appear, at first sight, to be relatively resilient. It also appears to have withstood the erosive effects of huge numbers of visiting tourists extraordinarily well. There are signs, however, that the delicate balance between tourist numbers and wildlife populations cannot be properly maintained for much longer as evidenced by the reduction in the protective vegetation cover and the emergence of a series of dust bowls. Meanwhile, the Reserve is host to 95 species of mammals, amphibians and other reptiles and 485 species of birds. During the dry season (July to October) it also hosts a major concentration of migratory herbivores including about 250,000 zebra and 1.3 million wildebeest. Amongst the list of easy-to-view species are: gazelle, elephant, topi, buffalo, lion (Kenya's largest population), black rhino, hippo, hyena, giraffe, leopard and mongoose.

Mara triangle is among the best parks within Masai Mara.you get to find that their roads are well maintained,signs on the roads with speed limits e.t.c I can not hesitate to recommend to any traveler to choose the Mara triangle. Game viewing is perfect especially when the great wildebeest migration is on. While watching the animals,you are allowed off-road driving in a supervised manner,where by sometimes the rangers will supervise that. Thanks for that Mara triangle management.

Nairobi National Park

Noble black rhinos are the highlight of this amazing park, Kenya’s first national park and a local treasure.

Reviewed By nualap2014

As you travel through Nairobi National Park's 45 square miles, you'll find it hard to believe that you are in a modern city. The city's skyline in the distance, is the only reminder. The park is teeming with wildlife, all protected by aircraft overhead and discreet armed guards. You can expect to see lions, rhinos, buffaloes, giraffes and many others animals and birds, roaming in the grassy plains under the occasional acacia tree. If you don't have time for a full scale safari, when you visit Kenya you'll be glad you visited Nairobi National Park.

Mida Creek

Reviewed By PilipiliNdogo - Nairobi, Kenya

The adventure starts from the “wobbly” boardwalk as you balance yourself as you walk till the end, this was such a thrill Board your canoe here and the calm ocean gently rocks you to the creek, if the tide & water level is low you can get off at garden of eden to catch the sunset as the water turns to a shimmery gold, such a sight to behold! If you’re adventurous you can kayak, stand up paddle boarding or float around the mangroves in the creek experiencing it all and hopefully see some birds hunting in the shallow waters. We used a local guide who was very informative & affordable.

Reviewed By SawaMA - Kigali, Rwanda

Watamu Beach especially near Fortamu is a paradise. Beautiful white sand beach where you can walk freely and enjoy the spectacular view. During high tides you can enjoy the water that is giving the sensation of a warm bathtub. I spent a wonderful week! Definitively a place to visit in Kenya.

Such serenity, simply breathtaking. Great and expansive National park with many beautiful birds, large and small, and other land animals such as elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, lions, heartbeets, dikdiks, gazelles etc. It's worth the visit. Those drives in the park are thrilling if not therapeutic! Highly recommended.

Mara River

Reviewed By cdiet - Albuquerque, United States

AfricanMecca Safari scheduled the most wonderful safari I ever had. AfricanMecca Safari is very accommodating to your individual plans and schedule. I had a wonderful trip. Everything was perfectly organized by AfricanMecca Safaris to my entire satisfaction. This trip not only met my expectations, but was even better than expected. I stayed at the Little Governors' Camp. I loved the personalized attention, the tents, the food, the service. Everything was fabulous. Above all, of course, were the safari rides. My driver and guide was Joseph who was awesome. I was able to obtain very close photographs and videos of many animals. The highlight of this trip was watching the Great Wildebeest Migration. We could see the first crossing of the Mara River in 2018 taking place right in front of our eyes. We were the third Jeep to arrive to the scene, so we had an excellent viewpoint. Thousands and thousands of wildebeest, and many zebras kept crossing the river. We were there watching one of the best wonders of nature during almost 2 hours. Unbelievable! Unforgettable! Awesome! I highly recommend visiting the Masai Mara National Reserve which is is best place to watch the Great Wildebeest Migration with hundreds of thousands of wildebeest crossing the Mara River.

Bio-Ken Snake Farm

Bio-Ken is a research centre, which deals with reptiles, especially snakes and snake-bite. Located less than 5 minutes drive from the hotels in Watamu - Kenya, it houses the largest collection of Snakes in East Africa and is open to the public. There are about 127 different snake species in Kenya. Of these only 18 have caused human fatalities and only another 6 could kill you. Another 10 could cause you a lot of pain and the remaining 93 or so, are non-venomous nor dangerous.

Reviewed By maldafrica

The Snake Farm worth a visit. It will not take long ( 1 hour maybe?) but you will get lots of info some very curious others maybe useful in the future who knows ? We had a friendly and smiling guide who take us around the farm and showed us tons of snakes of different species ( some among the most poisonous ones like the green mambas) explaining us where they live, how they live, how dangerous they are and how you can survive a bite. You can touch a snake if you like ..but do not have to ! Especially with kids it is a place not to be missed ! The entrance fee is not the cheapest one but they use the money to work with snakes, collecting the poison and preparing the antidotes. And removing snakes from houses or hotels in case one "got lost "and goes around a lodge ! They simply pick it up and bring it back to the forest ( hopefully far enough not be back the day after !)
