Lake
Nakuru
Lake Nakuru is a very shallow strongly alkaline lake 62 km2 in extent.
It is set in a picturesque landscape of surrounding woodland and
grassland next to Nakuru town. The landscape includes areas of marsh and
grasslands alternating with rocky cliffs and outcrops, stretches of
acacia woodland and rocky hillsides covered with a Euphorbia forest on
the eastern perimeter.
The lake catchment is bounded by Menengai crater to the north, the
Bahati hills to the north east, the lion hill ranges to the east, eburu
crater to the south and the mau escarpment to the west. Three major
rivers, the njoro, makalia and enderit drain into the lake, together
with treated water from the town's sewage works and the outflow from
several springs along the shore.
Lake Nakuru was first gazetted as a bird sanctuary in 1960 and upgraded
to National Park status in 1968. A northern extension was added to the
park in 1974 and the lake was designated as a Ramsar site in 1990. The
foundation of the parks food chains is the cyanophyte spirulina
platensis which can support huge numbers of lesser flamingo.
Masai Mara
Masai Mara is the most famous wildlife conservation area in Kenya and
indeed the world. This game reserve is home to an amazing variety of
wildlife in a natural and untouched state.
Masai Mara has a rolling savannah landscape dotted with patchy shrubs
and bush thickets,and is the Kenyan part of the large ecosystem
stretching south to Serengeti in Tanzania.
The wildlife in Masai Mara is varied, ranging from the big cats to
elephant, rhino and vast herds of herbivores such as wildebeest. A true
animal kingdom if there ever was one.
Masai Mara Safari
There are several safari options by road to the Masai Mara. Usually,
these start from Nairobi, and include a scenic 5 to 6 hour drive down to
the Sekenani gate or to the North West part of the reserve.
Accommodation is in lodges which offer quality service, rooms, and
usually excellent buffet meals on a full board basis. Safaris are
usually for a minimum of 2 nights and 3 days, although it is possible to
have a quick one night safari here as well, although this is too short
to really sample the magic of the Masai Mara. Flying Safaris to Mara are
also available.

Maasai children - behind them is a mud hut known as a "manyatta"The
Maasai Tribe
This warrior tribe of nomadic pastoralists are descendants of Nilotic
and Cushitic people originally from north of Lake Turkana over 10
centuries ago. Their life is dominated by their herds of their cattle
and livestock.
They often move hundreds of kilometers with large herds of livestock in
search of water and rich pastures. The Masai diet is based on fresh
curdled milk and meat from their livestock.
Centuries ago the Maasai were feared as ruthless conquerors and cattle
rustlers who invaded other tribal areas in search of bigger grazing land
and more cattle. The Maasai are also famous for drinking a mixture of
cattle blood and milk during ceremonial rites. An arrow is shot at close
range to punture the jugular vein of the cow...More...
Cheetahs spot prey on a mound - Conservation in the Masai Mara
The Masai Mara has a strong but vulnerable eco system with thousands of
tourists annually visiting the reserve , putting huge pressure on the
environment. Conservation in the Mara is of paramount importance, and
has been targetted at preservation of the wildlife and environment.
Like most third world countries, Kenya has growing land pressure issues,
with the increasing population ever searching for more land to live and
cultivate on. The Mara has it's share of land-animal-population
conflict.
This is an issue being taken up by government, conservation bodies and
NGO's. Funds are a major problem when it comes to conservation and
often, organizations involved in conservation bodies.
