Listen to me, you must come to Kenya from October to December to experience the charm of the animal world!

Where to go from October to December? Many sisters are still hesitating🤔. Here, I strongly recommend Kenya🇰🇪, because the cost performance is super high during this period! There are relatively few tourists, and there is a chance to witness the precious scenes of animal migration and animal birth. ✨Itinerary highlights: ·Track the traces of the African Five Overlords. ·Hit the shocking scene of animal migration and the crossing of the Milky Way in Masai Mara. ·Enjoy the dreamy pink flamingos🦩 in Nakuru. ·Experience night safari in Amboseli. ·Take a boat trip on Lake Naivasha and watch various birds up close. 📋Reference itinerary: D1: Domestic - Nairobi. D2: Nairobi - Amboseli - Start Amboseli Night Safari. D3: Enjoy Amboseli National Park all day. D4: Amboseli - Lake Naivasha. D5: Lake Naivasha - Masai Mara National Park. D6 - 7: Full day deep tour of Masai Mara National Park. D8: Masai Mara - Lake Nakuru National Park. D9: Nakuru - Nairobi - Domestic. 💡Travel tips: ▪️The price difference in Kenya is quite large, ranging from 10,000 to 100,000, and the normal price is around 20,000 to 40,000. Price fluctuations mainly depend on factors such as season, number of people, and hotels. ▪️If the budget is not particularly low, it is recommended to live in the protected area, experience the wonderful experience of seeing animals as soon as you open the door, and the commuting and accommodation conditions will be much better. ▪️The water quality in Kenya is poor, try to drink bottled water. You can bring more clothes for washing. ▪️The safari journey is bumpy and long, you can bring items such as neck pillows and waist rests, which will make the journey more comfortable.

Kenya//How can you not go to Africa to see the animals?

When you come to Kenya🇰🇪, you will find that people and nature can live in such harmony! On this vast land, animals live and play freely! ✅Preparation: ⚠️You must get a yellow fever vaccine 15 days in advance, and this yellow booklet will be checked upon entry! ⚠️You must buy a phone card, the network there is not good! ⚠️Bring a British standard conversion plug🔌 ✅Kenya peak season time⌚️: July-October, you can see the spectacular scene of animal migration, but the price is also very expensive Kenya off-season time⌚️: January-March, fewer tourists, cheap prices but you can see the large animals you should see!

In the morning of Africa, the clear sunlight gilds the acacia trees with a layer of golden light

【Morning in Africa】By the shores of Lake Nakuru, due to the 5-hour time difference between Kenya and China, when it is 7:00 AM in Kenya, it is already 12:00 noon in China. In this situation, even if you are a night owl or have severe morning delay syndrome in China, you can easily see the dawn in Kenya. The early morning sunlight awakens the African land, the light first sweeps over the treetops, gilding the acacia trees with a layer of golden light. Workers are usually in a hurry in the morning, busy with chaotic commutes, having no mood or leisure to enjoy the tranquility of the sunrise. But in Kenya, thousands of miles away from home, away from the daily grind and noise, when the mind is calm, it feels like suddenly opening the busy sleepy eyes. Seeing the morning sun, the light is so clear and bright, as pure and clear as a young boy, without any impurities. The bright and soft light is so penetrating, outlining the clear shadows of the trees. The air is clear, so transparent that you can see very far. The morning sun gilds the tall acacia trees with a layer of bright golden light, the tree shadows cast on the grass, outlining green patterns of different shades, making the shrubs and lawns look so verdant. In the tranquil air, various melodious bird songs add to the morning's tranquility. The morning in Africa appears so vibrant and full of life. Thriving~

The truth is indeed hard to hear, but it is the real situation of tourism in Africa!

The truth is indeed hard to hear😥, but it is the real situation of tourism in Africa.. Let's talk about the big truth of the current situation of tourism in Africa📝 Although it's hard to hear, this is the situation, and I hope it will be of some practical help to those who want to come to Africa❗❗❗ 🔹 1. Safari is dusty, prepare a dirty clothes bag in advance to separate from clean clothing🧳 🔹 2. Be sure to book your accommodation in advance🏠!!! To avoid the situation where the hotel you want to stay in is fully booked 🔹 3. Be sure to choose a lodge or camp inside the park⛺, to experience the most beautiful moments of the park in the morning and evening. Staying outside the park means being far from the national park, spending more time on the road, and the animals are more active in the morning and evening 🔹 4. After a day of Safari, you'll be covered in dust😷, remember to prepare disposable bath towels according to the number of days of your trip 🔹 5. Due to animals frequently dying from ingesting plastic bags🛍, the use of plastic bags has been restricted in Kenya since 2017 🔹 6. If you have plastic bags, meat, fruits🍏, etc., after unpacking, you will be taken to a small room to pay a fine 🔹 7. Wear holey shoes/sandals, often need to stand on chairs to see animals, and they are also convenient for walking 🔹 8. Bring medicine for stomach and treatment for diarrhea💊, the dust on Safari is heavy, it's best to bring a mask, and if you have rhinitis, bring something for cleaning 🔹 9. Kenya safari requires a Yellow Book📔, you need to go to the International Travel Health Care Center for vaccination, it is recommended to go 1-2 months in advance during the peak season, otherwise, if the reservation is too late, you may have to go to the neighboring city to get the shot💉 🔹 10. The 'Great Migration' of animals is so famous that everyone thinks that outside of June to September, the animals🐘 in Kenya have all gone! In fact, Kenya has dozens of national parks🏕 and reserves, such as Amboseli, Nakuru, Samburu, etc., where the number of animals is basically constant and does not migrate, and you can see them at any time 🔹 🔵8-day Mini Panoramic Route📈🔵 🌈Recommended itinerary 🌱Day 1 Amboseli 🌱Day 2 Amboseli 🌱Day 3 Naivasha 🌱Day 4 Masai Mara 🌱Day 5 Masai Mara 🌱Day 6 Masai Mara/Nakuru 🌱Day 7 Nairobi/Mount Kenya 🌱Day 8 Return 🫂Recommended number of people: 4, 6 Masai Mara National Reserve

Wild Encounters: More Animals than Friends

In my blog, you'll find more photos with animals than with friends. And honestly, I see them more often too, unfortunately or fortunately. There should've been a buffalo in this picture, but it's currently in a witness protection program. Can you believe it? In Kenya, there's a team tracking animals' locations daily to protect them from hunters and poachers who export their horns and pelts to China. The rhino horn trade is particularly absurd, as Chinese believe it has healing properties. We did manage to complete the Big Five! Lion, buffalo, leopard, rhino, and elephant. Once, hunters believed these were the hardest animals to kill, which is why they were the most prized. Nowadays, the only hunting allowed in Kenya is photo hunting. And spotting this famous five is considered the luckiest safari experience. So, what animal in its natural habitat would you like to see most?

Literary 📚 Africa in the world's classics

I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills. The Equator runs across these highlands, a hundred miles to the North, and the farm lay at an altitude of over six thousand feet. In the day-time you felt that you had got high up, near to the sun, but the early mornings and evenings were limpid and restful, and the nights were cold. ——Karen Blixen's "Out of Africa"

Lake Mina Kuru | Flamingo's paradise, pink ocean You say so, like a dream, I finally saw the paradise of the most anticipated flamingo in this trip. A large piece of pink is in front of my eyes. I really feel very shocked. There are not many pink creatures in nature, let alone a number of rare and rare flamingos. If there are thousands of people I saw in Nakuru before, I guess there are tens of thousands of them here, and they can get close to them very close, which is very clear. When I saw this pink sea, it was really beautiful and I could not look away. According to legend, the flamingo will ignite its feathers in the South Flame Mountain with the skyfire, and then bring the fire back to the ancient country of Loulan, which turns into an ashes in Tianyi Mountain, symbolizing the courage and hearty lifestyle. The flamingo is always a few walks side by side. A large flamingo forms several teams, pink and bright, pink and white. A healthy figure is like a symbol of noble blood. There is a pink ocean in Lake Nakuru - the flamingo's paradise, unparalleled beauty.

Lake Nakuru National Park is located in the Rift Valley of East Africa and is known as one of the world's flamingos. It is known as the "Bird Watching Paradise". Because Lake Nakuru is located in the volcanic belt, the lake has a high salinity, which is very suitable for the growth of plankton for the flamingo staple food, so it is not surprising that the flamingo piles are settled here. However, in recent years, due to the rising water level of the lake, the salinity has gradually decreased, and the flamingo has gradually migrated to Lake Boglia not far away, so the number has been significantly reduced, although a group of fires can be seen. The flamingo, but the spectacular scene of the red with Boglia Lake is no match. In addition to seeing flamingos, there are many large animals, such as black and white rhinos, hippos, tree lions, leopards, buffaloes, etc., but our hunting time is affected by some special circumstances. So I didn't find these rare animals. It is quite regrettable to think about it now.

The Nakuru Lake nakuru lodge is located in the Nakuru National Park, on the heights of Lake Nakuru. From the hotel restaurant you can see the beautiful Lake Nakuru. Hot water 24 hours a day, 24 hours power supply. There is also a saltwater lake in front of the hotel's observation deck. There will be groups of herbivores coming to drink water. The hustle and bustle activities here are rather embarrassing, and there are often patrolling hotel staff who use slingshots and wooden sticks to drive them away from harming guests. In the evening, the bushes in the room often have lovely haw rabbits. Dusk, while eating dinner buffet and watching the animals walking around in the sunset, it is also a very good experience. This is the correct way to experience African tourism, and it is integrated into it to feel the wonders and shocks of nature.

Lake Nakuru is the first park in Africa dedicated to the protection of birds. There are about 450 species of birds living in it, and it has a reputation as a birdwatching paradise. Lake Nakuru has always been considered the most flamingo. Good location, the number of flamingos inhabited here is 1.5 million, accounting for 1/3 of the total number of flamingos in the world. As a Chinese basketball superstar, Yao Ming also made a special trip to Kenya and South Africa to film a documentary about the protection of elephants and rhinos. He has a saying, "If you don't buy or sell, you won't kill!" But for a rhinoceros who ran in China in ancient times and was difficult to trace in modern times, "no war, no killing!" is the truth. Because their skin can be used to make the finest and strong leather armor! The car slowly stopped at the lake of Nakuru. The driver repeatedly warned us not to be too close to the lake because the soil at the lake was soft and we were worried that we would fall into the algae. I have searched carefully at the lakeside, and there is no flamingo.

Among the colorful and beautiful nature, there is a kind of bird that is unique. If you only talk about the vividness of color, it can be well-deserved to wear a crown with a gemstone pearl. They are flamingos that are as elegant and charming as a lady! Hundreds of flamingos danced on Lake Bogoria, turning the lake into a pink ocean and performing a natural wonder. The flamingo that inhabits Lake Bogoria is a small flamingo and is one of the largest in the world. The flamingo that disappeared from Lake Nakuru came here! Let me introduce in detail the reasons for the disappearance of the flamingo in Lake Nakuru and the reasons for it here! (The following content is sorted out by web query) Eight lakes in the Rift Valley of Kenya, six of which are lagoons. Lake Nakuru is a volcanic lake formed by dramatic changes in the earth's crust. It has no exit and is a typical inland river. The lava ash scattered after the eruption of the volcano flows into the lake through the scouring of the rainwater. Thus, for many years, the salt and alkali deposits in the lake water are caused. This salinity water quality and strong sunlight on the equator line are good conditions for algae breeding. Spirulina is the only food of flamingos. When spirulina decomposes in flamingos, it will produce red pigment in the body. This is why the flamingo's fur is red.
