Marsabit National Park

Marsabit National Park in northern Kenya is a green oasis of stunning beauty amidst the desert. It has an extinct volcano in the great space that blesses the area with a microclimate, keeping the area a lush montane forest. Every night, thick mist develops when hot desert air rises and cools, thereby releasing much-needed moisture into the forest. This goes through an amazing variety of wildlife thing that makes Marsabit unique and very important for lovers of nature.

This park is the home of big, tusked bull elephants, which are usually a highlight for visitors. Besides these, the Big Five include elephants, rhinos, lions, buffalo, and leopards that traverse its dense jungle. Various species will also be an amusement for birdwatchers and lovers of reptiles in this park. Others that Marsabit may avail of include the rarest of all spotted and unobtrusive Greater Kudu Antelopes, the elusive Grevy’s Zebras, and beautifully patterned Reticulated Giraffes, but for those with keen eyes.

However, dense vegetation in the park may make viewing of the wildlife problematic. Patience is a must, but the reward can be out of this world. Teeming with life, the forest normally rewards any patient person with timeless sights. Scenic landscapes and the thrill of finding these animals in their natural habitat make Marsabit National Park worth visiting.

Be it a promise of rare wildlife or the serenity of forest beauty, Marsabit testifies to how nature can thrive in the highly unlikely of places. It offers an unparalleled experience to those seeking a true wilderness adventure in Kenya.
