We recommand our members to discover the Lake Nakuru National Park when they travel to Kenya. It's a great opportunity to discover the beauty of nature in Kenya.

The Lake Nakuru National Park (188 km2), was created in 1961 around Lake Nakuru, near Nakuru Town. It is best known for its thousands, sometimes millions of flamingos nesting along the shores. The surface of the shallow lake is often hardly recognizable due to the continually shifting mass of pink. The number of flamingos on the lake varies with water and food conditions and the best vantage point is from Baboon Cliff. Also of interest is an area of 188 km around the lake fenced off as a sanctuary to protect giraffes as well as both black and white rhinos.

Riding through Morocco on camel ? Why not ? This is an original way to discover Sahara Desert in Morocco. Many adventure travelers has ridden through Morocco on camels. They've looked like as if they were in the Indiana Jones movies. They also consider these experiences as an exciting way to discover Morocco's nature, especially Sahara desert in southern Morocco and the marvellous Atlas Mountains. They've also used to sleep in desert tents with berbers. What an so adventurous way to travel and sleep in Morocco, instead of always going to hotels.

Adventurers should hop on a camel back for any trip through the golden Sahara sand dunes at Erg Chebbi, near Merzouga. Spend the night in a desert tent, under the incredibly starred sky. The Sahara is also accessible near the town of Zagora; it's easier to get to from Marrakech but doesn't have the imposing dunes of Erg Chebbi. Somewhat less easy to reach but therefor also less crowded are the dunes of Erg Chigaga near M'hamid. We consider this is a great Morocco experience !
