Activities at Mwingi National Reserve
You may be asking yourself of what to do on your visit Mwingi National Reserve. There are a number of activities that one can engage in, on their visit to Mwingi National Reserve.
Game viewing.
Due to the fact that Mwingi National Reserve is bordered by other reserves, it is frequently visited by the various games from the neighboring parks. Animals that are found in Mwingi Reserve includes caracal, elephant, hippo, leopard, lion, and different antelope species among others”. Traditional game viewing is still extremely restricting and there is no accommodation.
Hike Kitui Hills
These form the central feature around Kitui Town. The chief summits of the Kitui Hills are all grouped within five miles of the southern boundary of Kitui’s fault-zone and stand more than 1,000 ft. higher than the hills and ridges on its northern side. Against the low-lying, comparatively flat, tropical bushland that extends eastwards to the Tana River, Kitui Hills prominently dominate much of the landscape. In addition, the area around these hills receives more rainfall, satisfactorily distinguishing its vegetal profile for the predominating arid plains.
Hike Ngomeni Rock
This is situated midway between the southern end of Mwingi National Reserve (north) and Ukasi Hill (south). The site is best-known for the goodly Ngomeni Rock spanning 3 km2 with a rock-catchment dam holding eerie still water at its foot. It’s one of the impressive stone beacons in Kitui County which has no less than 200 stunning rock formations. The Ngomeni Rock is an easy-on-the-eye geological landmark towering 620 ms above the surrounding landscape. This rock also has a rich floral diversity including the rock adapted to grass. Ngomeni Rock Water Catchment started in 1955, serves as a critical water buffer. It can be reached from Mbuvi, 49 km east of Mwingi, then 14 km north to Ngomeni.
Visit George Adamson Bridge
Fabricated between 1986 and 1990, the steel vintage George Adamson Bridge close to the northern edge of Mwingi Game Reserve and which separates Meru National Park and Kora National Park, crossing River Tana, is a warm tribute to the famed reformist and conservationist George Adamson, and is the universal welcome to Kora National Park. This, of course, was where the exemplary novel Born Free about “Elsa the lioness” was penned by Joy Adamson in 1960. George Adamson, nicknamed Bwana Simba, is memorialized for his valorous efforts to conserve and makeover Kora National Park. Located close by George Adamson Bridge is the scenically-splendid Adamson’s Falls, Grand Falls, and Kora Rapids.
