On the eastern part of Africa and neighboring the great
Indian Ocean to its lower eastern part, is Kenya an awe inspiring destination
to make your holidays perfect. Kenya had oodles of attractions. The many
mountains, valleys specifically the Great Rift Valley, parks and communities
are just a few among the many attractions that have brought in billions of
money
as millions of tourists
continually visit the country to experience its beauties. My family had
organized for a one week visit to Kenya to get rid of the many hustles and
bustles of the life. The magnificent wonders we experienced were a must to
share with as many people as I could get and I have thus decided to appreciate
Kenya’s beauty.
We hit the road to our great visit from the dazzling Nairobi
city which is Kenya’s capital city. The city was so scenic with countless
impressive buildings that had first rate architectural designs. Though the city
was bee busy with loads of people and vehicles, we managed to trespass to the
stunning and popular snake park within the city. Our curious eyes could barely
close from the second we stepped into the park. Gigantic venomous but
attractive snakes lay silently in their wide cages while others had spread out
on well chopped stones within the park possibly basking in the enticing morning
sun though they kept crawling from time to time over imaginably distances. There
were also diminutive pretty snakes securely housed within small attractive
coops. It was so interesting to watch them feed on grass that had been put in
their cages and more so drink water from the tiny plates within their premises.
We then advanced to the charming Bomas of Kenya. We were completely filled with
joy by the many traditional dancers who had taken the floor the moment we got
in. They gyrated in all captivating styles, tempting me so much to join them. We
were indeed grand that our trip had started with such merriment.
Hardly could we leave Nairobi City before visiting the
stunning Nairobi National Park. This was a farfetched tourism spot. We
enthralled seeing the numerous lovely fauna retained in the park. There were so
many attractive wild beasts and zebras. The most striking quest was at the
charming lioness sanctuary. We loved this site so much. The enticing lioness
kept roaring fanatically while searching for an exit to clench on the large
horde of people who were hanging around its beautiful premises staring at it.
This experience was so moving. The stirring monkey’s site was yet another hot
spot within the park. We had great fun watching the beautiful tiny monkeys
gazing at us and receiving warmly the various engaging sweets we offered them.
The guides at the park were so welcoming and reveling. They took us round while
giving us more info than we required of the amazing animals. We were absolutely
delightful and would love to visit this park many other times.
Out of Nairobi City, we headed to the amiable extensive Menengai
crater. This crater is within the appealing Nakuru town and was established as
a result of a volcanic activity. It was so amusing. Its mammoth size was so
astounding. We had never seen any other crater that would match its substantial
bulk. We descended through a long zigzagging path to its beguiling bottom. Joy
filled us beyond limit as we collected large handfuls of black spellbinding
ashes that we thought to be the leftovers of the last eruption. We took several
photos of this beauty to keep its good memories. We were lucky to learn some of
the frightening but good to listen to myths associated with the crater from
some locals as we bought their charming carvings which had been displayed at
the entrance to this lovely crater. We indolently chilled out on the crater’s
edges admiring the fascinating clouds of white smoke at a far glimpse. We loved
the site very much. Our trip was surely worthwhile.
The charismatic Lake Nakuru National park was yet another
venture that got us awestruck while visiting. The lake had outstanding wonders.
We appreciated the copious pleasing animals that we saw. The cheeky pleasurable
monkeys welcomed us at the gate. They merrily jumped to our car’s roof started
scratching the window panes effortlessly. We aided them by through at them
several bananas though the guides forbid us. Inside the park were lots of
wonderful animals such as the endangered white rhino, giant like black
buffaloes that hustled noisily towards us immediately they spotted our white
cars. This was a bit frightening and thus we remained calm in our little resort
waiting for them to cool down and sure they did. We toured the whole park
leisurely admiring the many beauties. It was also astonishing that the lions
and leopards remained silent in their hiding places though they peed out once
when they heard the roar of our car. The most stunning hub was at the beautiful
lake that is christened after the conspicuous Nakuru town. It was with great
dynamism that we managed to see its waters as countless good looking flamingoes
had filled the whole lake. They looked so nice in a pink shade that we were
told was due to staying so much in the salty water of Lake Elementaita that was
adjacent to this lake. This was great info and praised the friendly guides who
took us round the park. We were only shocked beyond imagination as the lake
seemed to be dying out since its banks lay open with no water just like an arid
land. However, we loved the park and would have to visit it again on our next
visit to Kenya.
On our third day in Kenya, we toured the great captivating
Lake Victoria. There were lots of fun awaiting us. The lake is very famous
since it is the source of the amazing River Nile that passes through several
countries and particularly the Sahara desert. Large waves grew each minute with
vigor filling us with unending humor. We climbed onto one relatively small
marine that was about to leave where we got placid views of the charming lake.
Along the banks were lots of amusing activities. We were basically amused by
the numerous fishermen who were so much into their job. They were, however, so
friendly to us and gave us a short ride into the lake for some fishing. We did
the sport fishing where we caught bountiful fishes that we carried with us. The
place was so scenic with a serene alluring atmosphere that tempted us to stay a
little bit.
We then proceeded to the magical Mombasa city at the coastal
parts of Kenya. It was a city that embraced so much beauties ranging from vast
scenic communities, forts and the beach. We toured through the attractive and
famous fort Jesus. This was an ancient hideout for slaves during the slave
trade. It looked gorgeous and we had a memorable time walking through it
mesmerizing at its attractive design that had several well partitioned small
rooms. We then explored the historical astounding Vasco da Gama pillar. It
exhibited a unique design that was so inviting. We took several photos around it
as we would never want to forget about it. It was incredibly a nice experience.
Mombasa city had much more to offer. The glittering beaches
were of the best kind. We enjoyed swimming in the relatively warm clean and
calm waters of Indian Ocean. Stretching out on the impressive sandy beaches was
very enticing that we fell asleep for a few minutes. The coconut trees too
offered more. Apart from their relaxing shade, we also enjoyed eating their
sweet coconuts. The locals too were amazing. We luckily watched a Griama dance
that was remarkably brilliant. Kenya was a real awesome tourist destination.
Our visit was the best we had ever experience among the many places we had so
far visited. We will certainly visit Kenya several more times. It is a stunning
country for tourism.
