Enjoy topography, nocturnal views, Treetops & The Ark lodge

Aberdare National Park is a high altitude national park created to protect the slopes and moorland of the Aberdare Mountains. The park is a perfect location for topography enthusiasts and for viewing Kenya's animals and birds.

The topography ranges from high moorland, hills and peaks to indigenous forest, ravines, streams and waterfalls. Due to its high altitude, the park is very rainy and misty, with roads that become impassable during the wet season.

The Kenya Wildlife Service and Rhino Ark, a charity dedicated to the protection of the area and its wildlife, run Aberdare National Park. Aberdare is home to the second largest herd of endangered black rhinos.

Many Kenyan animals can be seen here including African elephants, lions, rhinos, black leopard and the elusive bongo antelope. Two of Kenya's best safari lodges are located in Aberdare National Park - Treetops and The Ark. Both provide excellent game viewing at night over the watering hole.

The annual great animal migration - survival for the fittest
A fact about the wildebeest migration is that every year, about 1.5 million wildebeest, zebra and several species of antelope uniformly make a circular tour between the Serengeti in Tanzania and Masai Mara in Kenya, in search of greener pastures.
This mass exodus is not only noted as a wonder of the world, but is always a great opportunity for people to witness nature at its best. You can witness the drama unfold as predators lurk in the bushes and prey scamper for safety in what has since been dubbed 'survival for the fittest'.
The most notorious among the predators is the lion and the Nile crocodile.
The lion perfectly chooses its arena - the grassy Mara plains. In the plains, the lion is shrouded in thick grass cover and gets a strategic hiding spot to attack unsuspecting wildebeest and zebras. During the peak of the migration, vultures circle the air and hyenas laugh in the shadows; an indication of the innumerable wildebeest and zebra that have fallen under the claw of the mighty African lion.
The Nile crocodile however takes the medal as the deadliest predator. It comes in at the climax of the Mara migration - the crossing of the Mara River! This avid killer shapes the events that take place during the crossing of the Mara River. From the splashing waters and floating wildebeest bodies, it is the match-maker.
Crocodiles are known to kill by drowning. When it spots a potential victim, it clutches the prey in its strong jaws and pulls it beneath the water surface. In the process, it ferociously twists and turns its head. This shreds its prey into pieces and suffocates the life out of it.
Did you know?
Crocodiles also use their tails as secondary weapons.
A crocodile can lunge more than half of its body length out of the water. (That’s more than 2 meters!)

Why go on a safari in Kenya? Because when it comes to creating exciting, adventurous safaris, Kenya is the best. Kenya's safaris have a deep history, dating back to the 14th century when Arabs were traveling and trading in East Africa. In fact "safari" is a Swahili word that originated from the Arabic word "safar" meaning "journey" or "travel".

MASAI MARA FACTS

1. The Maasai Mara National Park occupies an area of 1510 square kilometers and it is managed by the local authorities of Narok County in southwestern Kenya.
2. Maasai Mara National Park sits on the ancestral land of Maasai People of Southern Kenya and Northern Tanzania. They have protected the wildlife for hundreds of years.
3. The Maasai People are nomadic pastoralists and thus the wildebeests, just like their cattle, are regarded as the wealth of the Maasai. They therefore ensure peaceful co-existence with the wild animals.
4. The Maasai Mara National Park is considered the greatest wildlife park in Africa. It has over 200 square miles of open grassland where the wild animals such as Wildebeests, Zebras, Gazelles, Antelopes, Ostriches, Rhinos, Buffaloes, Elephants, Giraffes, Lions, Cheetahs, Leopards, and Hyenas etc. roam free in their natural habitat.
5. The Flora in the Maasai Mara is by and large an extension of the Savannah Grassland on the plateau of the Eastern Africa Great Rift Valley that stretches all the way from Ethiopia to Zambia.
6. About 1.5 million wildebeests cross the Great Mara River in Maasai Mara to look for pastures in Tanzania's Serengeti National Park.
7. Unlike what most people believe, Wildebeests are not the only animals that migrate. Zebras and antelopes too migrate. About 350,000 Zebras and 200,000 antelopes will find their way across the Mara River to Tanzania.
8. The Maasai Mara Migration is the world's largest Terrestrial Migration by mammals.
9. The best time to view this spectacle is July to October. The animals will cross over again from Serengeti to Maasai Mara after the pastures are regenerated.
10. Apparently, the African carnivores that include lions, snakes, crocodiles, hyenas, leopards and cheetahs waylay the hapless herbivores as they cross. When carnivores are feasting, the herbivores will be doing their best to reach the other end for better pastures.
You can see this spectacle on a hot air balloon or on tour buses. If you have never been to Kenya, then you have missed out on one of the greatest terrestrial spectacles on the globe.
