The Top Destinations in Kenya

Kenya has a lot of scenic safari routes. The landscape is just so breathtaking that even if you didn’t have a destination, the drive itself could already be your itinerary. Some of the best driving routes in Kenya include: the Nairobi to the Mara Intrepids route, the Nairobi to the Kisumu Impala Sanctuary route, and the Nairobi to Samburu National Reserve route.

For those who do not know, the “Big Five” consists of the lion, the leopard, the rhino, the African buffalo, and the elephant. However, these are not all that make Kenya special. The country stands out as the third largest tea producer in the world, the site of the Great Wildebeest Migration, the home of the world’s fastest runners/athletes, the makers of M-Pesa (mobile money transfer service), and many more unique characteristics!

The Stealth Hunter - (Panthera pardus)

 The leopard is one of the most distinguished members of the genus Panthera. Scientifically known as the Panthera pardus. The Leopard is a medium-sized wildcat that is natively found in a variety of different habitats across sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia. A member of the “Big Cat” family, the Leopard is an agile and opportunistic hunter that has been able to exploit habitats unused by other large felines as it spends a great deal of its time high in the tree branches. Meet the sleek leopard, a clever and vicious predator...

The English word “leopard” is derived from two Greek words, "Leon" and "pardos". “Leon,” which means lion, and “pardos,” which means spotted.

The Leopard is an animal with a long and slender body that is supported by short, stocky legs and a long tail that is used to aid balance whilst in the trees. Leopards can vary greatly in their colouration and markings depending on their surrounding habitat, with those found on open grasslands

The Apex Predator - (Panthera Leo)

The scientific identity for lions is "Panthera Leo". The genus Panthera is of Greek foundation and involves large cat species such as tigers, lions, jaguars, and leopards that have the ability to roar. Leo is the Latin phrase for lion. The lion is one of the largest, strongest, and most effective cats in the world. They are the biggest cats on the African continent. While most massive cats are solitary hunters, lions are surprisingly sociable animals that stay together in household companies known as pride.

The male lion, with its formidable size and flowing mane, is a majestic animal rightfully known as king of the jungle.

Lions are labeled as a keystone species. This capacity that they have a disproportionately massive influence on their herbal surroundings and are essential to retaining the structure of their ecological community.
