Dancing with Nature: Kenya You Can’t Miss

July to September each year is the best time to visit Kenya

    Compared to other countries in Northeast Africa, Kenya encompasses almost all of the continent’s landforms: deserts, forests, grasslands, lakes, coastlines, and snow-capped mountains. Relevant personnel from Uxin Travel told reporters, “Every year on the Serengeti Plains of East Africa, over 1.4 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebras, and gazelles migrate from the southern part of Tanzania’s Serengeti to the northern Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya in search of grassy slopes that grow during the rainy season. After the rainy season, from July to September, they return clockwise.”

    In the “Into the East African Rift Valley: Kenya’s Wild Migration Season” series of tours launched by Uxin Travel in July to September, travelers will explore wildlife paradises such as Aberdare, Lake Nakuru National Park, Maasai Mara National Reserve, and Lake Naivasha. In addition, special arrangements like tree-top hotels, barbecue feasts, and open-top 4x4 vehicles will lead visitors to experience a Kenya that is both natural and untamed.

Wildlife and Highlights in Aberdare National Park – The Tree-Top Hotel

    The Beauty of Balance – Aberdare National Park and Lake Nakuru National Park

    In Aberdare National Park, located 180 kilometers from Kenya’s capital Nairobi, lush mountains and forests are home to elephants, lions, rhinos, and over 250 species of birds, all thriving in this vibrant land. When visiting the park by the Tree-Top Hotel’s special vehicle, visitors are often drawn to colobus monkeys foraging and playing in the treetops, quickly snap photos of elephant herds leisurely wandering through the low bushes in the distance, and feel a pang of sadness at the sight of a lion making a kill on an antelope.

    However, the most famous thing in Aberdare is not the wildlife, but the unique hotel built among the high tree branches – the Tree-Top Hotel. This legendary hotel, once visited by the British Queen, is known for the tale of “Princess in the Tree, Queen on the Ground.” Visitors can enjoy afternoon tea here and experience the charm of nature alongside the wildlife below or in the distance.

    In Lake Nakuru National Park, known as a “paradise for birdwatchers,” around 450 species of birds live, the most famous being flamingos. Tens of thousands of flamingos dancing in flight turn the entire lake surface into a stunning sea of crimson, creating a vivid ink-wash painting.

    In addition to flamingos, the park is also home to many other wild animals, such as lions, hyenas, foxes, buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, and the very rare white rhino. Perhaps only here can you truly feel the balance between wilderness and natural landscapes.
