If you are leaving for the Kenya you will surely have a plan safari in parks, then it can be useful to know that in addition to the traditional jeep safari there are also those in balloon, walking and even back of camel, which make the experience of the close encounter with the animals of savanna, if possible, even more exciting.
Safari in Mongolfiera
The balloon is the perfect vehicle able to slip quietly along the plains without disturbing the herds that graze you quietly and that allows you to quickly climb up the sky to fly over the vast and boundless grassy stretches and the animal life that animates them.
For those who want to take advantage of a truly unique perspective on this spectacular wild nature, a fascinating solution is the safari in balloon at dawn, which daily starts from several lodges and that can be booked through most safari companies.
Mongolfiera Safari on Maasai Mara
The Maasai Mara is one of the most amazing landscapes of Kenya, with its endless plains and wild animals. For those who visit Kenya and Mara for the first time, the best way to appreciate it is from above, on a balloon safari, at dawn. A balloon flight at dawn undoubtedly means a morning levet, but it is really worth it: in fact it is rewarded by the magical colors of the sun that arises that reflect on the rough plains of dew.
Flood Safari on the Great Rift Valley
The Great Rift Valley is one of the most majestic sites of the whole earth, but the best way to see it is without doubt right from above and a balloon safari will literally give a bird-flight view of the valley at the time when you join flocks of flamingos that fly on the lakes, volcanoes and forest. The Rift valley is one of the wonders of nature, easily recognizable even from space.
The valley winds for 6000 km from Jordan to Mozambique, with a width of 30 to 100 km. But the most spectacular part is located in Kenya, with its dotted surface of inactive volcanoes and lakes from naturally sparkling waters, this valley attracts a wide spectrum of animals and is home to many, different ecosystems. The safaris on the Great Rift Valley start from several lodges and hotels in the Naivasha and Nakuru region.
Safari on foot
A safari on foot, private and accompanied by exceptional guides, is the best way to experience a truly unique experience in the heart of the nature of Kenya.
An expert escort will teach you what signs to look for, the footprints and the tracks to be taken into consideration and will show how to use the wind to camouflage its smell, as well as how to move silently through the thick vegetation and approach as much as possible to animals. There are very few experiences as exciting as that of a close encounter with an elephant, a lion or a buffalo.
Camel back Safari
The camel is frequently used especially in northern Kenya. They are usually used as soma animals, rather than as means of transport, but they are ideal for support for walking in the bush. Saddled camels are usually used that tourists wishing to take a walk back.
Many safaris use camels both for the transport of equipment and supplies, as well as vehicles for the transport of field equipment, which will be mounted before the arrival of tourists near predisposed areas. The prepared local guides, for which a caravan of camels in wild nature is a lifestyle, will accompany visitors and educate them on bush and local wildlife. This is a journey experience to be done, at least once in life, strolling through the bush, with the only company of the sounds of wild nature and the slight titinnium of the bells of the camels, following the rhythms of nature.
