This is what you need to know about the game drives at National Parks. Since you will be leaving early in the morning, park the previous day. For instance, if your game drive is on Saturday, pack on Friday evening. Charge your batteries, remember the park has no charger, or electricity connectivity, its the wild, home to animals who know nothing about electric power, its an adventure. Remember to buy snacks. Pack everything you need early enough so as not to forget.
Carry your sunscreen, sunglasses and a cap. Put on comfortable shoes, adjustable cloth wear because in the morning the weather tends to be chilly but come mid-morning hours, it turns out to be hot. Be at the meeting point early enough for you not to be left behind. Remember to carry your national identity for identification purpose the Kenya Wildlife Service, if you are a Non-residence, or a Residence make sure n to carry your passport.
Versatile Adventures is a Versatile Photographers initiative to create awareness for Wildlife, Conservation, Tourism and Culture through content development.
We as Versatile Adventures, hold a monthly event dubbed #PhotographyInTheWild. An initiative which takes people to visit Nairobi National Park once every month with an aim of communicating the need to conserve the park using Photography as a tool to sell the importance of our Natural Heritage, our pride.
During the Game Drive, always have in mind what is it that you want to capture, compose it in your mind before you click. Which story do you want to tell? What impact will it have to the society? Make sure it is a conservation revolution.
Photography is an Art and a tool to communicate the need to conserve the Natural Heritage. How would you feel when someone invades your privacy for instance your home and decides to build a public trespass through your acre of land? Is that not the same thing that the wild animals are facing? The animals may be resilient at first but eventually they will run away. Kenya as a country, will lose its title as the only country with a park in the city.
How will the game rangers, office administrators families that depend on Kenya Wildlife Service sustain their lifestyle? Human wildlife conflict will be the order of the day because, the wild animals will try to secure a safer home, this will end up with them being attacked too.
This is a treasure that Nairobi city has, a pride of Lions, Bufalos, Cattle Eget bird I am sure you don’t know what type of bird it is. Come visit the park and experience this peaceful atmosphere with the only destruction being noise from the birds melodious
Join us the next edition which will take place on 21st April, 2018 from as early as 5:30am.
