Review about Nairobi National Park by Le Caylar
It's OK and easily accessible, but proximity to Nairobi means that it can be busy. We have visited several times, but never when the animals are really plentiful; so this view might be jaundiced.
Varied, remote country from rugged hills via dusty slopes down to the river. Flora & fauna to match.
Samburu has varied country from the rocky hills, through the dry and dusty slopes down to the Ewaso Ng'iro river. The fauna and flora were equally varied but there was evidence of stress from the changing climate. Samburu had suffered from drought and then, around the river, serious floods.
Our trip was just off-season so the park had few vehicles and the lodge had few guests. We saw big game (lion, cheetah, elephant etc) and numerous smaller animals. Although some trees had died, there were signs of recovery and those in flower were beautiful. The clear air meant it was easy to see birds.
The park is remote, from an outsider's point of view. We reached it by plane from Nairobi Wilson to Samburu airport and were picked up by a Samburu Lodge vehicle. So the first game drive was on the way to the Lodge! The guide was excellent. Later, we witnessed the aftermath of a kill, returning several times to see the animals and birds that turned up at different times.
The accommodation was excellent; food and service couldn't be faulted.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by MeisjeSanne
An exotic park with more than just flamingos. Both Black and White Rhino are found here. There are huge herds of waterbuck, zebra, buffalo, the endangered Rothschild Giraffe and more.

A wonderfull peacefull place, with a lot of wildlife. Giraffe, buffalo, waterbuck, elephants, zebra and the beautiful Grevy's zebra. Also Lion, leopard and cheetah are also quite easy to spot. The gerenuks wich stand on their hind legs to feed are great to see.
The landscape is rich and varied with hills and plains, wood, grassland and a river that runs through.

A rejuvenation of the mind, body and spirit through a connection with nature
Excellent widlife, warm weather and soul food. Great to feel the fresh air as it blows through your hair and across your face on an open game vehicle. The smells and sounds of the bush excite you to the core. Viewing close up sightngs of the largest land animals like Giraffe and Elephant can leave on feeling humble and speach less. This should be on evry persons Bucket list! And I will be back.............
