A game drive in Kenya
A game drive in places like Tsavo National Park, Maasai Mara National Reserve, and Amboseli National Park, among other places, is one of the top things to do in Kenya. A game drive involves navigating the park’s terrain on a 4X4 safari vehicle in an attempt to see the different wildlife species in their natural habitats and the field.
The park offers morning, afternoon, and night game drives, each session lasting between 2 and 3 hours per day.
Morning game drives usually start from 6:30 am to 9 am, and afternoon sessions from 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm. However, some visitors may want a full-day game drive that normally starts from 10 am to 4 pm. Picnics can also be included in the designated picnic spots in the Amboseli National Park.
Day game drives aim to observe herbivorous animals grazing in the field and some carnivores, such as lions, preying on others.
Night game drives range from 7 pm to 9 pm. Parks like Amboseli National Park do not permit these drives, but private or group conservancies bordering the park allow them.
The goal of the night game drives is to spot nocturnal animals, which are difficult to spot during the day. Game drives in Kenya cost about USD 75 per person, and they are available during the dry seasons when the roads are not muddy for easy navigation.
The best time for game drives in Kenya is during the dry seasons when the roads are not muddy for easy navigation. During this time, most animals concentrate near water sources.

Given the fact that this great migration of wildebeest is one of the seven wonders, visiting Kenya to see this happening will leave you with lasting memories.
If you do not see the animals leaving Maasai Mara Game Reserve as they cross the Mara River, at least time them when they are returning. This migration normally happens from June to October.

When you think of climbing Mount Kenya, consider the three main peaks. Batian and Nelion are technical climbs, whereas Lenana is simpler and requires no technical skills but is still challenging. The summit trails are less crowded than those of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
The routes to consider, which will call for a guide to climb Mount Kenya, are Naro Moru, Sirimon, and Chogoria. As you climb, you will have a view of lush alpine forests, mountain scenery of glaciers, lakes, mineral springs, streams, rainbow trout of legendary sizes, and many more.
The mountain is home to many streams and lakes that harbor rainbow trout of legendary sizes. Streams are also some of the best locations for fly fishing in Kenya.
Hiking boots, a hiking buff, gloves, trekking poles, warm layers, a water bottle, sunglasses, a hat or helmet, belay and rock shoes—these are some of the must-haves before climbing.
The best time for the climb is during the dry seasons in January and February, and August and September.

With their camera, visitors take photos of these pink birds that make lake Nakuru’s waters look pink instead of blue. At times, it is even possible to see the surface of the water.
Over 1.5 million flamingos cover the lake’s water surface and shores. Since the pink birds feed on algae, with the help of a tour guide, tourists search to find what the green algae look like.

Birding can be done any time of the year, but the best season to visit this lake to see these beautiful birds is during the dry season, which is from June to February. During the dry seasons, algae levels increase, on which the flamingos and other birds feed.
