Marsabit National Park

TIME : 2016/2/16 18:43:27

This small park, nestled on Mt Marsabit’s upper slopes, is coated in thick forest and contains a wide variety of wildlife, including leopards, elephants (some with huge tusks) and buffaloes. The dense forest makes spotting wildlife very difficult, but fortunately help is at hand in the form of a couple of natural clearings with semi-permanent lakes, where animal sightings are almost guaranteed.

Even if the larger mammals are playing shy, there are loads of birds and butterflies around but, perhaps surprisingly, few monkeys.
