Top Active Leisure Sport in Kenya

If you're heading there on a holiday, try arriving by 11 AM. We noticed the crowds really piled up after noon. It’s way more fun when it’s not too packed!

I think packing some snacks and water is a good idea. The onsite snack options were okay, but having my own munchies made the wait times way more enjoyable!

I recommend visiting on a weekday; it’s way less crowded and you can enjoy the peace of nature. I went on a Saturday and it was pretty packed.

Wear comfortable hiking shoes. I wore my usual trainers and regretted it halfway through. The terrain can get a bit rough!

If you love birdwatching, definitely bring binoculars! I spotted so many beautiful species; watching them was the highlight of my visit.

Consider visiting during the weekday instead of the weekend. It was way less crowded when I went on a Tuesday, and I had a more relaxing experience.

Wear comfortable shoes; the paths can get a bit rocky and uneven. I wish I'd brought better footwear because I ended up with sore feet by the end of the day!

Don't rush through; take your time to walk the trails and observe. I almost missed a cool family of monkeys because I was hurrying to the next exhibit.

Make sure to arrive at least 30 minutes early to get through registration and safety briefings. You don't want to miss out on your slot because the process takes longer than expected!

If you want to save a few bucks, check for combo deals online before you go. We found a package that included go-karting and a few fun activities, which made it more affordable.

I recommend visiting on a weekday if you can. The weekend crowds can be hectic, and you’ll have a much smoother experience during the week. Plus, you’ll likely get better track times.

Don’t forget a light jacket! The weather can change quickly up there, and it got a bit chilly for me in the afternoon. You'll want to be comfy.
