2 DAY AND 1 NIGHT HIKE TO MT KILIMAMBOGO, MWEA NATIONAL RESERVE AND NJINE WATERFALLS

Petkins Tours and Safaris · Thika

OL DONYO SABUK NATIONAL PARK Ol donyo Sabuk National Park is dominated by a small mountain known as KILI MAMBO GO, which is covered in montane forest. The Park is home to 45 species of birds, including the white-browed sparrow weaver, gray-headed sparrow weaver, and many others. Buffalos are the dominant animals in the ecosystem. Other wildlife includes bushbucks, leopards, olive baboons, aardvarks, and several other mammal and reptile species. However, Ol donyo Sabuk National Park may not be the ideal location for viewing these animals because of its mountainous terrain. That said, olive baboons and some monkey species venture outdoors where they accept handouts from tourists who visit them there. For those interested in birding, though, this area truly shines. Visitors often take pleasure in driving or hiking nine kilometers along the trail leading to the peak near the entrance gates. Hiking all the way to the top usually requires about four hours round trip; while somewhat strenuous, even relatively fit individuals should manage fine if they put forth slightly extra effort. MWEA NATIONAL RESERVE Located within Kenya, the Mwea National Reserve spans an expanse primarily composed of acacia woodland interspersed with Commiphora trees located directly beside Lake Kamburo (Kamburu) Dam—where rivers Tana and Thiba converge their waters. Wildlife found throughout the preserve ranges widely among various animal life such as elephant herds native to Africa, Lesser Kudus, large populations of Nile Crocodiles, Giraffe long necks stretching towards treetops, plains zebra groups led by Grants Zebras, buffaloes roaming freely across vast grasslands, elusive leopard cats stalking through dense underbrush, Common Duiker antelopes darting between bushes, Black-backed Jackal packs hunting together cooperatively, Bushbuck deer hiding amongst thickets, etcetera.
