Where to Visit on 3 Days Kenya Safari

Visit Karatina market on the 3 Days Samburu Safari Kenya Cultural Tour

Karatina Market is the largest open-air market in Kenya and East Africa, designed to meet world-class modern trade and environmental requirements. This is done by providing facilities such as cabins, refrigerators/freezers, water storage facilities, parking lots, and swimming areas. This large market can accommodate up to 3000 traders

The town of Karatina is a two-hour drive from Nairobi. The retail market has been in the making for about three years to ensure that it is up to date and well organized.

Be sure to buy all kinds of fruits, garden fresh vegetables, grains, and flats there. The latter is the basket that will give you the longest life. You will find many other market items

Visit Nanyuki City

Nanyuki is a market town in Laikipia County, 3 Days Kenya Safari, located in the northwestern part of Mount Kenya. The city is also known as the gateway to Mount Kenya and the wilderness of Mount Kenya National Park.

The main airfield (air base) of the Kenya Air Force was established in 1907 by British settlers. Some of their descendants still live in the city. The equator passes through the southern part of Nanyuki. A man walks through it as he approaches Nanyuki.

You’ll meet people who are usually there demonstrating the possible effects of the Coriolis force, which they say causes draining water to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on whether you’re in the northern or southern hemisphere. However, this effect can only be demonstrated in a laboratory, so the “demonstration” at the equator is only exciting entertainment for the villagers

Several trails ascend the mountain, including the famous Naro Moru and Sirimon routes.

The park’s wildlife includes leopards, giant wild boars, and more. To the northwest of Nanyuki, the great Laikipia plateau is home to lions, elephants, and a rare zebra in the plains and hills.

Lewa Wildlife Reserve

Adventure the Lewa Downs on the 3 Days Kenya Safari, also known as Lewa Wildlife Sanctuary, is one of the most successful protected areas in Africa today.

It offers an unforgettable combination of stunning scenery, excellent wildlife viewing, first-class hospitality, and conservation education. The reserve was established in 1995 and is located in northern Kenya. This game reserve includes the Ngare Ndare Forest which stretches over 62,000 acres. In addition to protecting black rhinos and zebras, the reserve supports many other species including elephants, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, and more.

The protected area also supports local communities through education, health, water supply, micro-enterprise, and youth empowerment projects.

Samburu Umoja Village

There are more than 70 women and 200 children in the village. It was founded in 1990 by 15 women. The majority of the population are rape survivors, victims of sexual violence, and others fleeing FGM, early marriage, and other forms of violence against women, all of which are cultural norms of the Samburu.

It is believed that their female elders can legally own all the land in the village, thus ensuring that its inhabitants are not displaced. The village is well guarded by a thorn wall that allows them to go about their business without human interference. Umoja was created under the patriarchal culture of the Samburu people who saw it as property

Business women are engaged in bead art and sell these beads and handicrafts. This allows them to receive a regular income to provide food. Clothes, everyone is at home. Despite constant opposition from local male tribal groups, the village has managed to continue to grow

Community leaders also run a tourist camp a kilometer away from the river. As you enter the village, the women will welcome you with song and dance and invite all the other women to dance and sing along. You get to explore their home and learn about their lifestyle. In the handicraft center, visitors can also buy jewelry made by women
