Northern Kenya is a gem. I did my experience with Savannah outdoors Safaris. We passed through the mighty Mt Ololokwe, did a game drive through Marsabit national park, got to experience the sand dune at Chalbi and amazing rock sliding at Ngurunit The place is surprisingly hot so make sure you carry some comfortable shoes and clothing.
2. Lewa Wildlife Conservancy

Set amidst 62,000 acres of sprawling savannah, the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy boasts some of the most spectacular views in northern Kenya. With one of the highest wildlife densities in Kenya including 10% and 14% of the country’s black and white rhinos respectively, the Conservancy is also home to the world's single largest population of Grevy's zebras. It is also the best place to spot herds of elephants and buffalo, giraffes, lions, cheetahs, more than 400 species of birds and if lucky, a pack of wild dogs!

The safaris were great in an private open 4x4 safari vehicle from the lodge. The scenery was magnificent. We saw lots of wildlife which included White Rhino, Grevy's Zebra, Elephant and several beautiful birds. The highlight of the tours was seeing a couple of lionesses stuck up a tree because it was being surrounded by Buffalos. The other dilemma was the fact that they had 3 cubs hidden somewhere in the long grass. We didn't see the lionesses reunited with the cubs before we left though we did return later in the day and saw them together. Good place to visit. We were even given a bush breakfast, fully cooked with 2 chiefs and a couple of waiters.

It's a Park where you are almost alone. Lot's of birds. Buffalos, some elephants. Rhinos, if you're lucky lions. Hippos and crocodiles. It's different from other parks i've been. But really worth to visit
5. Buffalo Springs Reserve

Buffalo Springs sits on the southern side of the Ewaso Nyiro river. It has a wide variety of animals and surprisingly few safari-visitors. Hence it is a joy to go on a game-drive in this national reserve. We left Nanyuki at around 9.30 AM and reached the Chokaa Gate of Buffalo Springs National Reserve in 2 h. Grevy’s zebra is native to East Africa and is the most threatened among the three species of zebra, the other two being the plains zebra and the mountain zebra – you can easily identify them by looking at their belly as their bellies do not have stripes unlike other species of zebras

I loved the place. I only drove around for a short time within the reserve because my guide (a family member) was terrible. She didn't fill up on gas and we had to leave the park because she feared running out of gas. At the entrance (we hadn't even entered the park), some zebras were running toward me and I didn't see them and my husband told me to turn around.. I went crazy (excited) (laughs). They let the zebras roam even around the park freely. There was very nice bird watching even at the gate. My husband is a Kenyan and negotiated for a personal guide (she was in military uniform and drove in the front seat to help us find animals). But like I said we only got to stay a short time because of an inconsiderate driver. Inside the park, right away we saw giraffes, elephants, baboons. If we'd been able to stay longer, I know we would have seen more. The road to get the Mwea was very long and bumpy but if you have a Kenyan drive you there, you'll be there. They are used to the roads. Along the way I still enjoyed the drive because as a city girl in America I never see donkeys and cows and the different things we saw along the way. This place is worth the money. Get you a good guide who is Kenyan and a good car, and you should be fine.

We loved the hiking experience to Ol Donyo Sabuk. The meaning of the Ol Donyo Sabuk is Buffalo. There are a lot of buffalos in the park, so we were hiking with armed rangers. The experience was good, took us about 4.5 hours for the hiking.

Far to the north of Kenya, lies the Marsabit National Park. It is a densely forested mountain having three crater lakes in it. It is an oasis of green in this arid, desert region of Kenya. The lakes provide a haven for a variety of birdlife, mammals and reptiles. The park is known for its huge, impressive tusked-elephants. However, this national park is not much known for game-drives. If you are heading up to Lake Turkana, this acts as an interesting site to spend a night in. We reached Marsabit National Park at around 5.30 PM, soon after which it became dark
