TODAY'S DESTINATION: 🏖️🩴🧳
Kiunga Marine National Park & Reserve: 📸~ KWS
‘An Enchanted Underwater World with Heavenly Islands and Pristine Mangrove Forests!’

Altitude: Sea Level
Area: 270 sq. km
Location: Lamu County
Gazettement: 1979
Distance from Nairobi: 694 km

Located off the far northern coastline, Kiunga Marine National Park & Reserve has reefs interspersed among 50 limestone islands, which provide vital nesting areas for migratory seabirds. The park offers refuge to the rare sea turtles and Dugongs, the most threatened marine mammals found here.

The unique dugongs have a semi-human physiognomy and are said to be the origin of the mermaid legend.
Giant Clams (the largest bivalve molluscs) also live within the reefs.

Birdlife includes a host of seabirds in large nesting colonies, significant numbers of crab plovers and roseate terns. Kiunga in Lamu County contains a diversity of landscapes, seascapes, mudflats, lagoons, sand dunes, beaches, sand islands, raised reef islands, sea-grass beds, and coral reefs.

The park has the biggest mangrove strand in Kenya with the tallest mangrove trees reaching up to 30 meters high. Other vegetation includes microscopic marine plants, dugong grass, coastal scrubland and mangrove swamps.

Visitors can enjoy a plethora of fun-filled activities such as scuba diving, snorkelling, sunbathing, skiing and mangrove tours. The most rewarding time for snorkelling over the coral reef is two hours on either side of low tides. This is the best time when the greatest amount of marine life is revealed including the endangered sea dugongs and turtles that live here.

Accessing the Park:

From Mombasa, drive to Mokowe jetty, get a dhow or a speedboat to Lamu and connect to Mkokoni via speedboat.

Airstrips: From Mombasa, Malindi or Nairobi, fly to Manda airstrip and connect by sea at Mokowe jetty.

By Sea: From Lamu, get to Kiwayu Island by dhow or speedboat.

By Rail: Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) from Syokimau (Nairobi Terminus) to Miritini (Mombasa Terminus) train stations, then connect by road /sea.

Today's Destination ~ Lake Elementaita Wildlife Sanctuary
‘Haven of Pelicans’

Area: 25.3 sq. km
Location: Nakuru County
Gazettement: 2010
Distance from Nairobi: 130 km

Lake Elementaita basin has one of the oldest archaeological sites belonging to the Oldowan period, with stone tools dating to 700’000 years ago found at Kariandusi. The Obsidian mines at the Eburru Mountains are evidence of Obsidian trade dating over 3000 years ago. Subsequently, the region was occupied by pastoral Neolithic, later by the Maasai pastoral community who called it “Elementaita”.

During the colonial occupation, the whole area between Elementaita and Naivasha was taken over and used for livestock and wildlife ranching by Lord Delamere.

The area around Lake Elementaita was designated as an Important Bird Area (IBA), a site of global significance for bird and biodiversity conservation in 1999. The Lake was designated a Ramsar Site (wetland of international importance) in 2005.

The sanctuary was gazzetted as a National Wildlife Sanctuary in 2010. It was listed alongside Lake Nakuru and Bogoria as the Kenya Lakes System in the Great Rift Valley Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2011.

Lake Elementaita is an important natural habitat for in-situ conservation of biological diversity including globally and regionally threatened species of outstanding universal value. It consistently holds internationally important populations of greater and lesser flamingo, great white Pelican, African Spoonbill, pied Avocet and other water bird species that occur in smaller populations.

The terrestrial habitats support the conservation of herbivores such as the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe, eland, buffalo, common zebra, impala, reedbuck, bushbuck and Colobus monkeys.

Carnivores present include lions, leopards, hyenas and jackals. The endemic Kenyan horned viper (Bitis worthingtonii) is found in the neighbouring Soysambu Conservancy.

Birding: Lake Elementaita supports one of the major breeding colonies of the great white Pelicans (Pelecanus onocrotalus) in the world and is the only place in Kenya where pelicans breed. Up to 8,000 pairs of great White Pelican have bred there when the water levels are high and the rocky outcrops in the eastern sector are flooded to form islets on which the birds can safely nest.

Hot springs: The park has permanent hot water springs that act as breeding grounds for tilapia fish that are preyed upon by the pelicans.

Hiking on several hills within the sanctuary and shoreline walks are a breeze.

Accessing the Sanctuary:
By Road: Lake Elementaita Wildlife Sanctuary is approximately 120 km north of Nairobi, 40km north of Naivasha and 45km south of Nakuru. It is accessed by the Trans-African Highway (A104)

By Air:
the nearest airstrips are Nakuru (Lanet) and Soysambu.

Let's go explore Lake Elementaita Wildlife Sanctuary together.

TODAY'S DESTINATION: 📸~ KWS
Mt. Elgon National Park ~ ‘Untamed Wilderness, Secluded Splendor’

Mist and drizzle cover Mt. Elgon, a soaring volcanic giant that is a remarkable sight. The highest peak on the Kenyan side of the mountain is Koitoboss (4222m). It can be reached across beautiful moorlands with a visit to the hot springs en route.

The lush montane forest is thick and evergreen on the floor, but as you hike up, the foliage changes. This is the best place to see the lush montane forest on the Chelulu circuit of the park. It is one of Kenya’s most beautiful, still wild and intact with vast areas of untouched forest.

The Park is crisscrossed by three rivers leading to Lake Turkana; Suam, Kerio and Turkwell, with the Nzoiya River feeding Lake Victoria.

The park is home to elephants, buffaloes, leopards, colubus and blue monkeys, giant forest hogs, waterbucks and antelopes. Furthermore, over 240 bird species have been found on record. Moreover, the huge Elgon teak and cedar trees, some over 80ft, dominate the forest scenery.

A series of caves (four in number) namely, Kitum, Making’eny, Chepnyalil and Ngwarisha caves constitute the park’s main attraction. Kitum Cave is the largest, extending horizontally for 200m into the heart of the mountain. The caves are a favourite gathering spot for elephants. Every night, long convoys of elephants venture deep into the caves to feed off the salt-rich deposits. Watching these salt-mining cave elephants in action is undeniably spectacular. Cave explorations and excursions into the bat-infested caves are a common sport among outdoor lovers.

Located about 1.5km from Kitum Cave, Makin’eny Cave has a spectacular waterfall over its mouth.

Visitors can enjoy game viewing, picnicking, bird watching, cave explorations camping, hiking, mountain climbing and nature trail walking.

Accessing the Park by Road:
From Nairobi, drive to Kitale town, and from here take the well-directed (with signposts) Endebess road to Chotlim gate, the main gate, which also leads to the park headquarters.

Accessing the Park by Air:
Visitors can fly to Eldoret Airport (70km away). Kitale airstrip, located outside Kitale town on the main Kitale-Bungoma road, is 30km from the park.

Let’s go and experience Mt. Elgon National Park’s untamed wilderness!

Today’s Destination: 💡🧳
Meru National Park ~‘The Complete Wilderness’.
📸~ KWS

Altitude: 1,000-3,400ft
Area: 870 sq. km
Location: Meru County
Gazettement: 1966
Distance from Nairobi: 348 km

Marvellous, remote, rugged and prominently unspoilt, Meru sits intact in a wilderness that’s least visited, yet surrounded by undiluted natural beauty. It is wild and beautiful, straddling the equator and bisected by 13 rivers and numerous mountain-fed streams. The scenery is diverse from woodlands at 3000ft on the slopes of Nyambene mountain range, northeast of Mt. Kenya, to wide-open plains with meandering riverbanks dotted with doum palms.

Teeming with varied forms of wildlife species, the park is home to both the Big 5 and Special 5. Animals within the park include elephant, Grevy’s zebra, lion, cheetah, leopard, hartebeest, hippo, buffalo, the reticulated giraffe among others. Meru hosts a rhino sanctuary that plays home to the endangered black and white rhino species. Being critically endangered, the rhinos are under 24-hour surveillance. The sanctuary affords wildlife enthusiasts one of the best rhino-viewing experiences in the world.

Bird life is also exceptionally diverse with over 400 bird species on record. These include Peter’s Fin foot inhabiting the Murera and Ura rivers, Pel’s fishing owl, kingfishers, rollers, bee-eaters, starlings and weavers. The rivers abound with hippo populations, crocodiles and fish.

The park is famous as the setting for Joy Adamson’s book, “Born Free”, a story of Adamson’s life experience in rescuing and raising an orphaned lioness cub named Elsa. The lioness’ grave is marked inside the park.

At the border of Meru National Park is Bisanadi National Reserve - known as “Kinna”.
The border between Meru National Park and Bisanadi Parks is the ‘traditional’ division between the Meru and the Borana people.

Visitors can enjoy game viewing, camping, picnicking, hiking and swimming. The rich culture of the Ameru, Borana and Tharaka communities in the cultural villages is also an activity visitors can savour.

Accessing the Park:

By Roads:
From Nairobi (348 KM) via Nyeri-Nanyuki-Meru or via Embu all-weather roads.
From Maua to Murera Gate (35 KM) and 348 km from Nairobi
From Embu via Ura Gate (161 KM) and 290 km from Nairobi.

By Air:

Today's Destination:💡

Marsabit National Park - ‘a remote Paradise for Nature Lovers'.

Altitude: 1,000-5,000ft
Area: 360 sq. km
Location: Marsabit County
Gazettement: 1967
Distance from Nairobi: 530 km

Mountainous, misty yet effortlessly breathtaking, this park features a dense montane forest and three crater lakes that provide a haven for a variety of birdlife, mammals and reptiles. The forested mountain rises spectacularly from the middle of a desert wilderness and provides the only source of permanent surface water in the region.

The all-beautiful Marsabit National Park is a refuge for the huge tusked bull elephants and was home to the most famed elephant, Ahmed, til his death at an estimated age of 63 years. The patriarch, Ahmed was accorded a 24-hour round-the-clock protection from poachers through a presidential decree issued in early 1970. A model of elephant Ahmed now stands tall at the National Museum of Kenya in Nairobi.

The extinct volcanic craters that are locally known around the park as gofs, make Marsabit such a paradise. Located on the eastern side of the park, Gof Bongole is the largest and stagiest of the craters - with a dizzying 10-kilometre round rim. The natural amphitheatre of Gof Sokorte Guda has a 150-meter-high Caldera that shelters the fresh waters of Lake Paradise. Most of these Craters are home to a diverse number of bird species.

The park is an overflowing adventure destination depicting an array of endless activity options that await the nature enthusiast. Sometimes, the only therapy the human mind, body and soul craves and thirsts for is the simple yet magically refreshing moments in the quietude of space and time just sitting in pin-drop silence save for the in-between chirping birds and trumpeting elephants. Watching the sunrise and sunset, a flower bud determined to pop open, chatty birds drinking from the fountain of some wild nectar, a static colourful butterfly perched on lush flower buds, daydreaming and a tone of other little thrilling moments, is mind-boggling!

Interesting to see is the Marsabit Cultural Museum and Information Centre. The facility acts as an education hub - disseminating information about the park and culture of locals. The museum preserves bits and pieces of a rich culture, traditions of the people of the larger northern Kenya, their tools of trade and traditional regalia. The space also hosts a gallery of several mounted images of wildlife in the park and the local people. These images are captured and donated by individuals and organizations in support of conservation efforts in Kenya, to display a beautiful blend of culture, wildlife and scenic landscapes.

Marsabit County is home to over 10 different communities, each with a unique and pristine culture. These include; the larger pastoralist communities such as Borana, Gabbra, Rendile, Turkana, Somali, Samburu, and the lesser-known agro-pastoralists; skilled blacksmiths, hunters and gatherers such as, but not limited to the Burji, Saakuye, Konso, Waata, Garti, Sidama and Dasanach.

A visit to the park is not complete without a short trip to the singing wells. The wells feature a shared animal watering point for domestic and wild animals. Herdsmen bring their animals to the well where they go down to fetch water filling the water trough, and the animals quench, the men break into songs and choruses that infiltrate into the air, hence the title ‘Singing Wells’.
Visitors can enjoy hikes in the dense forest with a closed high canopy wreathed in mist, camel rides, bird watching, bush trekking, camping and visit to the Singing Wells – Lake Paradise and Elephant Pool.

Accessing the Park:
By Road: from Nairobi via Nanyuki and Isiolo, a distinace of 570 km. The A2 highways is tarmacked all the way to Moyale town. The Park is served by 3 gates; Ahmed, Ajmarko and Karare Gate. Abdul Gate leads to the park headquarters and guesthouses.

By Air: The nearest airstrip is in Marsabit town 4 km from Abdul Gate.

Did you know a hyena poo is usually white in colour?
This is attributed to the collagen they consume with bone, horn and hooves giving the hyena’s dropping a white colouring as opposed to other carnivore droppings.💡

Today’s Destination: 💡📸🧳
Kisite Mpunguti Marine Park & Reserve
‘Home of the Dolphins & Coconut Crabs’

Altitude: Sea Level
Area: 39 sq. km
Location: Kwale
Gazettement: 1978
Distance from Mombasa: 82 km

Kissed by the lethargic strikes of hot sunrays, Kisite Mpunguti oozes with breathtaking beauty. Located on Mombasa’s South Coast in Shimoni-Kwale County, this marine park was established to protect the scenic islands and the special habitats of the wide range of endemic marine animals and breeding migratory birds. Kisite lies in the coral gardens, south of Wasini Island. It encompasses three small coral rag forest islands, each with considerable areas of fringing reef.

Essentially unspoiled, this peaceful island invites exploration and features a picturesquely sculptured rocky coastline, low rag coral forest cover, and numerous baobab trees. It boasts an enchanted realm of dolphins, living coral gardens, coconut crabs, green and hawksbill turtles, wheeling seabirds, eye-catching coral fish, butterflies, parrots, rock cod, and angel fish not to mention the apparent magnificent sun’s rays that perforate the sparkling clear waters. This world’s famous marine park promises an underwater world of unbelievable colour and vibrancy.

The coral reefs are estimated to be 3-4 kms long, running along the near and outer edges of the reefs from Mpunguti Islands to the tiny coral island of Kisite itself. The reefs at Kisite are scientifically important habitats and one of the most complex ecosystems on the planet. The reef provides food and shelter for an entire marine community. Kisite is one of the most rewarding snorkeling locations on the coast and additionally, visitors can enjoy bird watching, diving, boat safaris, coral viewing, picnicking, and a host of other activities such as sunbathing, and swimming to mention but a few of the low tide island.

Away from the world of magic in Kisite Mpungute, Shimoni is just a stone-throw away. “Shimoni” means inside a hole or a cave in Swahili. It is home to many families of porpoises that cruise in and out of the marine park and are frequently sighted in the channel between the mainland and Shimoni. Historically, smugglers and slavers used Shimoni caves to transact their businesses. Some of the caves have freshwater springs flowing into the sea and are reputed to come from Mount Kilimanjaro, 160 km inland.

Located in Kwale County, at a distance of 574 km from Nairobi and 90 km from Mombasa, the park lies 11 km off the Kenyan Coast (at Shimoni) and 8 km north of the Tanzanian border.

Accessing the Park:
By air: from JKIA o Wilson Airport to Moi International Airport in Mombasa and Ukunda Airstrip. The park is about 100km from Mombasa by road.

By road: use the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) from Syokimau (Nairobi Terminus) to Miritini (Mombasa Terminus) train stations then connect by road.

Come, let's explore this paradise together.
