OUR RESPONSIBLE TOURISM  (ECO TOURISM )

THERE ARE AT LEAST FOUR (4) GOOD REASONS YOU SHOULD COME WITH US.
1. We have formed close working partnerships with the best in-country outfitters and the best
lodges and camps-outfits that have decades of experience with guests on safari. In addition, we are committed to employing local people to the maximum extent possible. We pay our people well and, just as important, we provide them with training and involve them in our company. They are trusted partners in providing our guests with the best safari experience available in Kenya

2.
Ethical tourism is one of the cornerstones of our company. Eyes On Nature Expeditions is committed to travel
that provides exciting opportunities for our guests while enriching lives and protecting habitats in East Africa. We support micro-economic development projects with a number of tribal groups in Kenya. These programs allow our guests exclusive entry onto tribal lands while giving local people local control over the way tourism is introduced and the way dollars earned are used. Our programs open up rare opportunities for in-depth exchanges between western culture and traditional African cultures.

3. We offer responsible tourism by giving back to the community through the contribution of 5-10 percent of our income from every tour we sell. We contribute to LECDEN-KENYA, an NGO working with the less fortunate members of society. For more information please visit the website at www.LECDENKENYA.com or enquire at info@LECDEN-KENYA.com or l Read More

4.
Education is one of the cornerstones of Eyes On Nature Expeditions. On our safaris , you learn by going. It is a highly entertaining process of deepening discovery that we call Natural Learning and it's an integral part of every one of our safaris . As our guides teach you to spot and identify game and track animals, you begin to see with new eyes. You become more curious and observant about animal behaviors, and you begin to understand how all the pieces of the ecosystem fit together. In addition, we can also arrange your safari to give you special access to amazing people who know Africa's depths: researchers, directors of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) tribal councils, and camp owners. At Eyes On Nature Expeditions we want you to come away with a deeper understanding of an astonishing landscape.

Once you have been on an exclusive Eyes on Nature Expeditions safari you will never go back to a lesser experience!
"Luxury" is a very relative concept – for a safari agent or outfitter it usually means whatever “deals” they can negotiate (with lodges and ground operators) that will eventually get classified as “luxurious” in their itineraries! Anyone familiar with the luxury end of the safari industry in East Africa will find many glaring deficiencies in self-proclaimed luxury safaris from overrated companies who feature so prominently in glossy travel magazines!
Luxury rates don't always translate into luxury safaris! We cannot be more serious about this statement! How much you pay for your safari is meaningless - some people believe they are on a luxury safari on $250 a day! Some perceive a luxury safari to cost at least $1000 per day! Many think they are on a luxury safari because they paid $1000 a day for a safari - meanwhile it only has a fair market value of $500 a day!
In East Africa, the most expensive lodges are not always the best choices! This is a very important point that many travel agents and overseas tour companies either do not understand or won't admit! With wildlife movement patterns that change every month, the best lodge is the right lodge, at the right time, in the right place at the right price! We understand this.
Here at Eyes on Nature Expeditions, we do not define luxury in monetary terms. For us, luxury means Ease, Time and Space. And we prefer the word "exclusive" because we are unique in many ways.

Wildebeest Migration

Wildebeest location updates and a month by month guide to lodges and camps giving you the best opportunity to witness the east Africa’s wildebeest migration.

The endless plains of east Africa are the setting for the world’s greatest wildlife spectacle - the 1.5 million animal ungulate (wildebeest) migration. From the vast Serengeti plains to the champagne colored hills of Kenya’s Masai Mara over 1.4 million wildebeest and 200,000 zebra and gazelle, relentlessly tracked by Africa’s great predators, migrate in a clockwise fashion over 1,800 miles each year in search of rain ripened grass.

There is no real beginning or end to a wildebeest's journey. Its life is an endless pilgrimage, a constant search for food and water. The only beginning is at the moment of birth. An estimated 400,000 wildebeest calves are born during a six week period early each year - usually between late January and mid-March.


The Migratory Path

December, January, Feburary, March: The Serengeti National Park / Ngorongoro Conservation Area is arguably the most impressive wildlife sanctuary in the world. During the months December through March the seemingly unending plains of the southern Serengeti and the Conservation Area are inhabited by enormous herds of wildebeest and zebra. The great herds graze on rain ripened grass.This is the best time to visit the Serengeti.

In the calving season (late January through mid March when over 80% of the wildebeest give birth over a period of a few weeks) the herds concentrate at the Ndutu and Salei plains (Southern Serengeti / Ngorongoro Conservation Area) attracting the attention of predators like lion, cheetah and hyena.

During this period the migration is best observed from a luxury mobile camp in the Ndutu / Naabi area or from Ndutu Safari Lodge.

April, May: During the months April and May the depleted plains are unable to sustain the endless herds. The migration, sweeping west and north, moves from the short grass plains of the southern Serengeti / Ngorongoro Conservation Area to the long grass plains and woodland of the Serengeti’s western Corridor, almost to Lake Victoria.

This period is during the long rains and is considered off season for wildlife viewing in east Africa as roads are often impassable. Ndutu Safari Lodge, Kusini Camp and the Serengeti Serena Lodge are fine for wildlife viewing during this time. So are campsites in the Ndutu/Naabi area.

June: By the end of May the wildebeest have exhausted the Western Corridor’s best pastures and the herds must move further north. Entering the Lamai Wedge and the Mara Triangle breeding occurs May through June.
 November ends the migration is making its way back to the southern Serengeti and early in the year they once again give birth. The circle of life is complete.

*Note - the migration is a natural event and the timing varies month by month; year by year.

Elephant Pepper Camp:
Situated right on the Northern Edge of the Maasai Mara reserve this 8-tented bush camp, is tucked away in a prime wildlife area. Surrounded by the Mara’s ubiquitous game, it's a seasonal camp, which is taken down for a month or so in the rainy seasons.

Elephant Pepper Camp (originally Mara Bush Camp) offers a unique, comfortable environment and is aptly named after the Warburgia Ugandensis tree, which is commonly known as the Elephant Pepper tree.

The true bush experience of walking and unwinding around the glowing embers of a campfire all add to the authenticity of a true bush experience. Creative comforts are not sacrificed either with ensuite bathrooms being part of each spacious tent.

Looking from the camp across the plains one can see the ‘greatest game show on earth’ when the annual wildebeest migration thunders past to seek new grazing in the lush savannahs of the Maasai Mara.

Elsa's Kopje:
Elsa's Kopje is set in the untamed wilderness of Meru National Park. Named after the Elsa the lioness of 'Born Free' fame, the lodge is invisible to the eye as you approach the kopje. Each of the 9 individually built cottages is luxuriously appointed, designed to incorporate the natural features of the rocky hillside. The cottages are spacious and have double or twin beds, with en-suite bathrooms. There is an open bar area, lounge and dining room where guests can relax. The infinity pool overlooks the Meru plains.

Activities available here include game drives in 4-wheel drive vehicles, night game drives and guided bush walks. Regular sightings include Beisa Oryx, Gerenuk, Elephant, Grevy’s Zebra, Reticulated Giraffe, Lesser Kudu, Grant’s Gazelle, Leopard, Lion, Cheetah, Rhino and the rare, elusive Greater Kudu. Meru is also famous for its bird life. Day excursions can be taken to the Tana River and visits to the local Theraka village can be arranged.
ed to match the architecture of that period.

This friendly and efficient hotel with 103 rooms of various categories offers good food, comfortable accommodation, dependable service and excellent value for money. Facilities include conference rooms, a fully equipped business telecommunications center and satellite television in all rooms.

A choice of three restaurants At the Fairview our guests often comment that our food has the 'home cooked' touch - tasty, comforting and ample. There award winning chefs and three dining venues see to that. They is the Mukutan Coffee Garden for Nairobi's finest coffee and light meals, the Pwani Pool Restaurant for al fresco meals and the Dining Room for a full English breakfast.

Guest security has always been a priority at the Fairview. They keep up with the times by hiring international security experts to regularly assess their risk. The security system combines the latest technology with well trained staff: the strongest entrance barriers in Kenya, discrete but well placed CCTV cameras, electronic guard patrol systems, radio alarms and panic buttons, sophisticated European access systems, electronic room safes and a security team trained to international standards.

A first class hotel needs first class support services. With two water sources and large water storage tanks, guests can be sure of a reliable supply of clean water. Two 300 KVA back up generators ensure that guests are never left in the dark and a state-of-the-art laundry offers same day cleaning if necessary.

Owned and managed by three generations of the Szlapak family since 1946 (and since 1993, joined by Eliana Szlapak's husband, Mark Abbema), the Fairview stands out as a charming and successful blend of the past and the present. Five acres of beautiful landscaped gardens unmatched by any other Nairobi city hotel, combine with comfortable rooms that offer every modern facility, including personal electronic safes, electronic door locks, direct dial phones and internet access.

Kenya Adventure Safari
Kenya has long been known as an adventurer's paradise. This is a land of endless opportunity for the active traveller, a country rich with possibilities for adventure and discovery.

For the Trekker, Kenya is a world of highs and lows- From the snow capped peak of Mt Kenya to the desert plains of the north. There are a range of treks from sedate hill walks through game rich ranges to high altitude routes on alpine slopes.

For those aiming higher, Kenya offers plenty of challenges. Climbers may be aware of the mighty peak of Mt Kenya, but there are many other climbing areas to be explored. There is a broad scope of destinations, from granite cliffs and volcanic rock towers to the ultimate challenge- a technical assault on Africa’s second highest summit.

Kenya has some excellent potential areas for off road mountain biking. As the popularity of the sport increases, more and more mountain bikes are now for hire, and there is plenty of undiscovered country for bush biking.

Kenya is home to a very active equestrian community, and horses are a great way to explore wilderness areas. Riding through herds of game is an ideal way to experience the wild up close and personal.

Looking for a more unusual mode of transport? The North of Kenya has a thriving camel culture, and the camel is used by many nomadic tribes. These deserts and wide arid plain lands have long been crossed by camel trains, following ancient routes through deep valleys and along winding dry river beds. Large herds of dromedary (single humped) camels are found throughout the North. A safari by camel is a unique way to see this country. The trackless deserts and high ranges of the Northern frontier are beautiful and remote places, completely isolated from the modern world. Walking through this wilderness with a camel train, camping in the wild and sleeping under the stars, you can travel through an Africa unchanged since the passage of the first explorers…

Far from the northern deserts, the waters of the Indian Ocean are an adventurers playground. The coast of Kenya has a well deserved reputation for big game fishing and has attracted fishing devotees such as Ernest Hemingway, drawn by the promise of world-class fishing. Local tag and release programs ensure eco-friendly fishing.

But having now deployed this vague seduction on a number of occasions, I'm growing disenchanted with it. My complaint is that it's imprecise. For though the phrase is rich in suggestion, it's starved for specificity. And Africa, as I've come to appreciate, is the most specific place on Earth.

This dusty elephant family, which congregated around a nearly dry riverbed, would soon be soothed by the rains of April and May. I headed to Kenya, an East African nation roughly twice the size of Nevada, in early spring just before the rainy season settled in.

Discover a new world...

We believe that there is much more to a wildlife holiday than the list of species and a full itinerary. Supporting conservation and showing our travellers the whole world of wildlife, during an easy but comprehensive natural history holiday are guiding principles when planning our trips. Providing opportunities and time to learn about local cultures and enjoy beautiful scenery are also key ingredients, as well as being flexible enough to adapt to our travellers' particular interests.

Over the past 22 years, we at Wildlife Travel have worked closely with local ct, September, October: By July the countless herds have amassed along the swollen Mara River - a final barrier from the short sweet grasses of the Masai Mara. Sometimes the crossing place they have chosen is shallow allowing the majority of animals to pass safely. In other areas the waters boil with drowning wildebeest and slashing crocodiles. Please note that the vast majority of travelers do not witness the wildebeest crossing of the Mara as the timing and duration varies widely each year - in years of little rain very few wildebeest cross the Mara River into Kenya.

Between July and October the wildebeest reside in the Mara. We recommend Governor's Il Moran Tented Camp as the leading safari camp in the Masai Mara. Other tented camps include Governor's Main Camp, Little Governor’s Camp, and Bataluer Camp. Tanzanian lodges recommended during this time include Faru Faru River Lodge, Sasakwa Hill Lodge, Sabora Plains Tented Camp, Grumeti River Camp, Migration Camp and Kirawira Camp. Kirawira and Moru area campsites are best.

November: The arrival of the short rains call the migration southward. During the short rains of November the wildebeest migration is best viewed from Klein’s Camp. Campsites in the Lobo area are best.

As

This is a transitional period between the rains and the dry season. Faru Faru River Lodge, Sasakwa Hill Lodge, Sabora Plains Tented Camp, Grumeti River Camp, Migration Camp, and Kirawira Camp are good options for viewing the migration at this time. Seronera and Moru area campsites are best.

July, Augus
