Watch out for Swindlers, no psychosis, just caution! There are a lot of swindles at the moment. How might you be swindled?  Never purchase « cheap » or « good price » safaris from « beach boys » etc..

Kenya Masaï Mara.

Kenya parks and reserves kenya safaris.

As a photographer, I personally love the Masaï Mara but also national parks such as Samburu, Nakuru, Tsavo or Amboseli are of interest due to their specific characteristics.

Here you can see what I don’t like in the national parks !!

You can see that especially with Masaï Mara during school holidays. The bad drivers look for the cars instead of the animals. It is much easier !! Here is a map of the location of the national parks and reserves in Kenya

Kenya parks reservations begin with Lake Nakuru

Reserve, but here you will find an extraordinarily large variety of
Birds, such as kingfishers, spoonbills, herons, storks and also rose
Flamingos in front. In this park I have the most beautiful photos
made by herons and leopards.

A little further east of Samburu is the little, little
visited Shaba reserve, but definitely a visit
is worth. Well worth it when visiting Samburu and Buffalo
Springs to take a little detour.

Tsavo West national park
.

(I love this park because of its beautiful landscapes and its animals)
West and East Tsavo complement each other wonderfully and
are due to their landscapes, but also their animals
a must-see destination !!

Pretty close about a 3 hour drive away
are the reserves that I personally like best !!
You are across from Tanzania and I can take photos there
shooting that I’ve dreamed of all my life !!
Animals with Kilimanjaro in the background, that’s superb !!

Do you actually know that you can climb Kilimanjaro to his
Can climb the summit? When you have a little practice
it goes up to an altitude of 5895m within 4 days !! One of my
Freund is 72 and has climbed to the top. I myself
I have heart disease, but survived 5600 m in good shape
and I want to climb it with my wife in 2004 !!

You also need to know that in the areas of
West Tsavo and Taïta Hills the ground of red
Laterite is made up of elephants, zebras and
all other animals that are on the
Rolling ground are red !!

But beware
There aren’t as many animals as you might think !!
Not only in Tsavo, but also in all other reserves
Kenya and also because animals also have their own
Habits and territories. It’s like with mushrooms:
when you know someone who knows the best places you will be.

You can find some too !! As for the coastal region in southern Kenya
near Mombassa, I can offer you (40 km
further south) for your stay and if you see wildlife
want to see one of my good contacts:
it’s Fred (a french guy who has an agency in Diani)
He knows his way around there because he is already alive
there for many years !!
