About the Great Migration
The Great Migration is the annual migration of more than 1 million wildebeest through the Masai Mara in Kenya and the Serengeti in Tanzania. During Jul - Oct each year, the herds are in the Northern Serengeti & Masai Mara. This is the best time to see them making their famous river crossings. It is also a fantastic time of year to spot big cats, many of whom have also migrated following their food source. From Nov - Jun, the herd migrates through the Serengeti following the rain. Jan - Feb is a particularly good time to safari, as the huge herd welcomes the arrival of thousands of baby wildebeest. The newborn calves are easy prey for big cats, which makes for easy spotting of these magnificent creatures.
About the Masai Mara (note: the word Maasai was incorrectly spent when the Masai Mara was given it's name and has never been fixed)
The Masai Mara is home to huge populations of big cats, and has the highest concentration of big cats in Africa. Covering more than 1,500 square kilometres, the Masai Mara is home to approximately 900 lion, 300 cheetah and 100 leopard. It is also home to more than 80 different species of mammals and more than 450 varieties of birds. It is no wonder it is one of Africa's best safari parks, and a must-see for anyone going on safari!
About Amboseli National Park
Amboseli is the only safari park in Africa where we can snap a stunning picture of an elephant or giraffe with Mt Kilimanjaro snow capped peak in the background (like the pic below). It is also one of Kenya's best safari parks and offers a completely different experience to other parks you will visit (like the Masai Mara and Serengeti). Amboseli is teeming with an eclectic array of wildlife, showcasing the majestic African elephant, graceful giraffes, and iconic lions. Zebras elegantly graze alongside wildebeests, while elusive leopards and cheetahs add an air of mystery. A birdwatcher's delight, the park harmonises nature's wonders against the backdrop of Kilimanjaro and the vast wetlands offer a fantastic opportunity to spot large flocks of flamingo.
About Nairobi National Park
The Nairobi National Park is the only safari park in Africa where you can snap a picture of a giant white or black rhino with a skyscraper in the background. Located in the heart of Nairobi, this national park is a sanctuary for rhinos and is the fantastic place to start your African adventure. This park is also home to large cats, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, various antelopes and many different bird species.
About Queen Elizabeth National Park
Queen Elizabeth National Park, epitomises the essence of African wilderness. Spanning 1,978 square kilometers, it boasts diverse ecosystems that range from savannah, to dense forests, thriving wetlands, and crater lakes. Its iconic inhabitants include tree-climbing lions, huge African elephants, and elusive leopards. The only thing better than the big animals you'll see in Queen Elizabeth, are the more than 600 bird species who call this game park home. This attracts birdwatchers from across the globe & Uganda is internationally renowned as a "bird-watchers paradise".
The Kazinga Channel, a 32km natural channel connecting Lake Edward and Lake George, is a vital lifeline for Queen Elizabeth and hosts diverse wildlife. Boat safaris along the Kazinga Channel offer intimate encounters against the backdrop of stunning African scenery, and you can expect to spot hippos, crocodiles, elephants, buffalo, an abundant bird species, and much more as you peacefully float along the water.
Explore the sights and sounds of Africa’s largest slum. Meet the life changing Mirror of Hope, visit the home of one of the inspiring women MOH work with, meet her family and learn how to cook a delicious Kenyan feast. This is the perfect opportunity to immerse in Kenyan culture, practice your Swahili and get to know some of the most resilient and remarkable people on the planet.
The Mirror of Hope (MOH) was founded in 2010 by Tommy & Judy Nyawir, to empower vulnerable women & children living in the Kibera Slums. MOH achieves their mission through the implementation of a range of innovative health, education and entrepreneurship initiatives. We first visited MOH in 2015 and we have been supporting them ever since. Here is a little more about the Mirror of Hope:
Mountain gorillas live in forests at elevations of 2,000 - 4,000m. They have thicker fur than other great apes which helps them to survive in a habitat where temperatures often drop below freezing. There are approximately 1,000 of these fascinating creatures left in the world and Bwindi National Park in Uganda is home to about 400 of them. This adventure is your chance to trek with one of the most unique animals on the planet.
