Masai Ostrich Farm Kitengela 1 Day Tour takes you to the Ostrich Farm in Nairobi. The farm is a great place where you can get up close and personal with ostriches. It is located roughly an hour away from Nairobi on the outskirts of a city called Kitengela.

The Ostrich Farm is also about 30 minutes away from the Kenya International Airport and sits on 200 acres of land. There is more to do at the Ostrich Farm than just ride an Ostrich.

Things to do at the Ostrich Farm in Nairobi include; bird watching, eat Ostrich meat, ride an Ostrich, spend a relaxing day at the resort and tour the Ostrich Farm pens.

The Ostrich is the largest bird in the world and cannot fly but has strong, long and powerful legs which enable it to run very fast at an approximate speed of 70 kilometers per Hour.

It can maintain this speed for 20-30 minutes. You can tour the Ostrich Farm and can ride the Ostrich. They have two different types of ostriches at the farm – the Masai Ostrich (red in color) and the Somali Ostrich with is blue in color (the one you ride).

Our Masai Ostrich Farm Kitengela 1 Day Tour will offer you insights of Ostriches and Ostrich facts. The tour of the farm takes almost half an hour depending on how inquisitive you are and what picture opportunities you will get out of your tour.

It is very interesting seeing ostriches in different stages of growth and sizes. Ostrich products are available for sale. An ostrich is slaughtered at 8 months because the quality and taste of its meat is achieved during that period of growth.

There is also the opportunity to view and hand-feed the ostriches, and if the weather is good, you can even take an ostrich ride! After the tour you will have lunch. Ostrich meat is low in cholesterol. Later you can swim relax before we return back to the city.

Menengai Crater Nakuru 1 Day Hiking Tour

Menengai Crater Nakuru 1 Day Hiking Tour is a full day trip to climb Menengai crater. It is considered a moderate climb. Menengai crater is located 10 km (6 miles) north of Nakuru, the fourth-biggest city in Kenya.

The drive from Nairobi to Nakuru takes about 3 Hours (about 180 km from Nairobi). It takes another 10 minutes to drive from town to the foot of the crater where the Menengai Forest station offices are located.

Menengai crater is an extinct volcano and one of the world’s largest intact craters and it is 12 kilometers across and nearly 500 meter deep in places. The crater floor covers nearly 90 square kilometers.

While standing at the rim of the huge crater, one is able to have the view of the large stretch of the Northern Rift Valley in a panoramic view, having a glance at some of the mountains like the Tugen Hills, Mau, Abrade, Mathews Range, the Cherenganyi and the Elgeyo-Marakwet escarpment.

More striking is the fact that at the crater, one is able to have the beautiful view of Lake Bogoria, Lake Nakuru and the beauty of the crater itself.

The hike takes approximate 4 to 5 hours walk from the base of the crater to the rim and back.

Menengai Crater Nakuru 1 Day Hiking Tour hike begins downhill to the floor of the crater, a flat stretch, and then a rocky, grassy uphill to the summit.

It is a pleasant trip with breathtaking views into the crater as well as surrounding parts of the Rift Valley.

Various bird species as well as hyenas, baboons and dik dik can be spotted at the crater. The descent down the crater looks pretty easy.

However, it is the long trek upwards that is torturous. You need to be an expert hiker to conquer it!

With its amazing scenery, Menengai crater is indeed one of the most attractive places in the Rift Valley. The hiking, trekking, camping and picnicking options available to the visitor offer the promise of a rewarding trip.

There are also caves that can be explored, but they tend to be frequented by those on religious pilgrimages. Our Menegai Crater tour ends in Nairobi at 1900 Hours.
