Ablauf

1. Pick up from your Nairobi accommodation or Airport at 0700hrs. Depart for a demonstration at the Equator line. You will drive through Thika Super highway with breath-taking views of the pineapple country side of Thika. The three hours’ drive gets you where the Northern Hemisphere & Southern Hemisphere begin. Here a fascinating phenomenon known as the Coriolis effect occurs. If you are standing to the south of the equator line on the southern hemisphere, the water tends to move in an anti-clockwise manner. If you stand to the north, you will notice the water moving in a clockwise direction. If, on the other hand, you are standing at the equator itself, the water shows no movement. The locals here are always eager to set up this experiment for you. If you want, you could even get a certificate of proof of being at the Equator at a negotiable fee.

2. After the demonstration at the Equator you will descend towards Nyahururu town. Visit the scenic Thomson's falls, which is 243 feet high (74 Meters) along the Ewaso Nyiro river which drains from the Aberdare mountain ranges. You can see the falls from the top at their view point, but with an adventurous spirit you may take a walk following the trail towards the bottom of a ravine for a closer look. The water from the falls makes the best hippopotamus swimming pools in Kenya. After the tour at the falls you may break for lunch at place of your choice. Lunch is paid directly by self, depending on menu. You thereafter visit the nearby hippo pool, on lucky day you may have for a closer view of these large mammals before embarking on your trip back to Nairobi. Important to note: The 10 hours duration includes the travel time from pick up to drop off

About Nairobi

Nairobi, Kenias lebendige Hauptstadt und Ausgangspunkt für Ostafrika-Safaris, mit einem Nationalpark, in dem Wildtiere unter der Skyline leben.

Der Nairobi-Nationalpark liegt direkt hinter den Vororten, und seine Löwen, Nashörner, Giraffen und Büffel sind mit Wolkenkratzern am Horizont zu sehen. In der Nähe zieht ein Waisenhaus junge, in ganz Kenia gerettete Elefanten auf, und im Giraffe Centre begegnen Besucher von einer erhöhten Plattform aus seltenen Rothschild-Giraffen auf Augenhöhe.

Top-ranked sights in Nairobi: Nairobi National Park, Giraffe Centre, Lake Naivasha.
