Taste The Wild At Kenya Hotels Nairobi
One New Yorker says he never misses the annual wildebeest migration across the Serengeti and describes it as the most beautiful view in the world.
For many, it's the "spirit of adventure that makes Africa so alluring". In Kenya, you're not restricted to safaris alone. There are the well-frequented tourist routes covering the Masai Mara wildlife and landscape attractions of course, but what about Lake Bogoria's hot springs? To reach this landmark, you will have to travel 139km from Kenya hotels Nairobi north of Nakuru, where the soda lake spans an area of 30 sq km. The temperatures of the hot springs that erupt around the edge of the lake can be dangerously high, so caution is advised.
Amateur and professional photographers will be entranced by the spectacularly beautiful scene that awaits them as thousands of rose-pink flamingoes descend on the lake's alkaline water to eat its blue-green algae. They make the perfect photographic subjects at this location.
Ornithologists keen to make the short journey to Lake Bogoria from Kenya hotels Nairobi will think they've hit the jackpot! About 135 bird species have been recorded there, ranging from the tawny eagle, little bee-eater and Cape wigeon to the augur buzzard and gabar goshawk.
Because Lake Bogoria is located in a national reserve, visitors will be delighted to see wildlife there too. Because this reserve is not yet a tourist hot spot, their sighting is all the more special. The reserve protects a herd of rare greater kudu as well as other buck, buffalo, zebra, cheetah, baboon, warthog, caracal, spotted hyena and other small mammals.
Back at Kenya hotels Nairobi, if you still have a taste for meat, the Carnivore Restaurant is a recommended eatery. It's an open-air venue with an all-you-can-eat meat buffet on offer. It's quite an experience. The meat is speared on traditional Masai swords and cooked over a huge charcoal pit at the entrance. You can try crocodile, lamb, pork, venison, beef and skewered kidneys accompanied by salads and vegetables, and followed by delicious dessert.
