THE WILDEBEEST MIGRATION IS ON

 Wildebeest is also called gnu(pronounced as news) is in the family of antelopes in its Swahili name they are called "nyumbu montu". the wildebeest is among the biggest antelopes we have and its face resemble that of a bull, and its mane and tail are like that of a horse. wildebeest are strictly grazers but don't live for long without water, they inhabit in large plains of African savannah where there is a lot of grass. one unusual thing with the wildebeest is that they can sense thunderstorms  30 mile away and this helps them follow the rains across Africa making the great migration,  "the seven new wonder of the world" which occur  from June they shift from Serengeti to Mara in search for food. Its predators are mostly, the king of the jungle , the fastest animal, the crocodiles and us humans because of its sweet food called the blitong in South Africa. There are two types of  the black wildebeest or the blue wildebeest the difference can be seen in that Blue wildebeest tend to be a dark grey color with stripes, but may have a bluish sheen. The black wildebeest has brown-coloured hair, with a mane that ranges in color from cream to black, and a cream-coloured tail. not all wildebeest are migratory the black wildebeest are mostly nomadic and have regular homes like for 1squared kilometer. its now a high moment for us to start enjoying the great migration again . Lets travel to Mara.

Like the way we get excited and yearn to get that new phone in the market like the Samsung s5 or the latest model of car in the market thus the way Kenya airways also yearns for the latest and efficient types of planes in the market because the Boeing has great advantages like the greater fuel efficiency and more cargo space achieved by increased use of lighter plastic materials in the place of market, this is among the many so its upon you now to make sure you fly the Dreamliner because it’s here to give you that unforgettable flying moment that you have always dreamt of the cleanliness and the beauty already sets that good mood when you step on it.

The lost and found new heavens for flamingoes

Are you aware of a lake called Lake Oloidien  just next to LakeNaivasha? This is great news for those who are not fun of masses when they travel because Lake Oloidien is not known by many, the lake is known for the thousands of lesser flamingos found there. Originally the lake was a part of Lake Naivasha but later spilt up and now it’s on its own its about 25m higher and  200meters away from the orignal lake(Naivasha). The word oloidien means salty and  because of its salinity it produces spirulina which is the main food for flamingoes and this has attracted many flamingoes in the lake, just to be in the know you can know the difference between lesser flamingo and greater flamingo by just looking at them when they are together in the lake the lesser flamingo is smaller and has a red dark  beak with a black tip deep yellow orange eyes surrounded by a reddish brown ring, on the other hand  the greater flamingo is larger and  has pink beak with a restrictive black tip and got a pink skin from the eye to the beak. and many wonder where the flamingoes get their pink beautiful colour because they are hatched with the grey colour but the food they feed on make them look so stunning to be specific shrimp(beta carotene) the same natural chemical that turn carrots to orange. the same with human being what we consume affect our looks in a way  so eat healthy and you remain young and beautiful.
