This South African country is well known for its wildness. So, there are many exciting things to do in Kenya for the nature lovers. Especially, for the bird watchers, the nation has reserved its position in the list of top 5 bird-spotting sites on the planet. But, other tourists will surely not be disappointed as both land and water sports are available at many places – trekking on the Mt. Kenya’s glacial edges and snorkeling on the Indian Ocean coast. Here, you will be introduced to 3 most exciting things to do in Kenya.

The Masai Mara National Reserve is certainly the top tourist attraction where one can easily observe the difficult to spot ‘big five’, especially in the morning. Come here during the period of July to October for observing unparallel wildlife. However, the most top highlight here is the annual migration wherein countless beasts shift to other location. This is worth a watch through a hot-air balloon. You can also go for walking safari with a guide to discovering the Masai culture and game drives. You can come here from the capital city of Nairobi after driving for 6 hours. However, ensure that you take a 4WD because of not so good roads. The entry fee would be around $10 for children and $30 for adults.

Accessible from Nairobi within 3 hours, Lake Nakuru National Park is just a perfect spot to watch numerous hordes of flamingos that enjoy in the low soda lake’s alkaline waters. Here, you can see a white rhino, hippo, warthog, ostrich, giraffe, and a lion. There are two main lodges in the park and also public as well as private campsites.

If you drive for 4 hours from the capital, the Amboseli National Park is also a good site for watching animals and birds on the borders of Kenya and Tanzania. There are total five swamps of which two are protected. The major highlights are a dried Pleistocene lake, the semi-arid foliage, Mt. Kilimanjaro views, and animals like hippo, elephants, leopard, and cheetah. Herein, campsites as well as lodges are available. June to October is the ideal time to come here.
