MAU MAU CAVE
The cave is located near Nanyuki North East of Nairobi, the Mau Mar Cave was used as a hide-out by Kenyan Freedom Fighters during the Mau Mau Uprising of 1952 to 1960. It is located approximately 18 km south of the equator inside the thick Mount Kenya National Park. The walk to the Mau Mau caves is through a forest and over a swaying bridge from where you can view the rapids and the waterfall over the caves. The caves were formed as a result of volcanic activity in Mt. Kenya which resulted in the cooling of lava to form rock sediments.
Wildlife Sanctuary that covers 657 sq km and was formed from three community-owned ranches in 1996, It is located near Mwatate in Taita-Taveta county,but only opened to the public in 2003. Partly funded by the EU and involves local people at every stage of the project, from the park rangers to senior management. Big cats and elephants are regular highlights and the accommodation superb, making it a terrific all-round package. This sanctuary was formed by the Lualenyi, Mramba Communal Grazing Area, and Oza Group Ranch, hence the acronym, it is adjacent toTsavo West National Park and Taita Hills and serves as a vital wildlife corridor between Tsavo West and Tsavo East National Parks It is a home to cape buffalo, elephant, leopard, masai lion, masai giraffe, zebra, hartebeest, impala, waterbuck, Thomson’s gazelle, lesser kudu, dik-dik, and other smaller animals, including a great diversity of birdlife.
This are one of Kenya’s last remaining true wilderness areas. The low-lying mountain range is located south of Nairobi and northeast of the Masai Mara. This area is rarely visited and as a result it is widely believed that the most traditional Maasai culture exists here. They are little-known and spellbindingly beautiful Loita Hills. When accessing them from the Mara area, the hills start out dry and unimpressive, but if you bounce along for enough hours, things start to change. The vegetation becomes greener and much more luxuriant, eventually turning into a tangled jungle. The mountains also grow ever bigger, peaking at a respectable 2150m. There are pockets of remote forests, wide open plains surrounded by the stunning hillsides and dotted with roaming wildlife. This isn’t an area for viewing big game but more somewhere to enjoy the scenery, walk with the local Maasai and learn more about their culture and communities. A wonderfully peaceful place to begin or end a safari trip in Kenya. This is the most traditional corner of Maasai land and change, though it’s coming, is way behind many other parts of the country, also an area of unexpected wildlife – colobus monkeys swing through the trees, turacos light the skies with colour and huge numbers of buffaloes, forest pigs and bushbucks move through the shadows. What makes this area so extraordinary is that it’s not covered by any official protection and yet the forests remain fairly untouched. The reason is that there are many places in the forests sacred to the Maasai and the elders tightly control the felling of trees and grazing of cattle. It’s a brilliant example of how traditional cultures can thrive alongside wildlife without outside aid.
