Enjoy Kenya safaris offer incredible adventures with the world’s most impressive animals. Birthplace of the human race, its home to extraordinarily welcoming people, impressive storybook animals, and an unforgettable sense of heritage and power.
While many people head straight to the Maasai Mara for its comprehensive range of big game, there’s much more to see if you head further afield.
Maasai Mara safari
The Masai Mara is the most renowned safari park in Kenya. Famous for its great herds of plains’ game – including its exceptional population of Masai lions, African leopards and Tanzanian cheetahs – it’s also the best place to see the Great Migration: the annual movement of zebra, gazelle and wildebeest to and from the Serengeti in Tanzania.
It contains many elephants and virtually every other type of wildlife found in Kenya. This park is also known for having the most approachable animals that one can enjoy on his or her Kenya safaris in Africa.
Lake Nakuru safari
Flamingo world. More than a million pink flamingoes flock on the shores of Lake Nakuru, along with white rhinos, warthogs, giraffes, zebra, hippos, ostriches and lions. Quintessentially African, Lake Nakuru National Park is only 170 kilometres north-west of Nairobi.
Amboseli safari
The park is home to as many as 370 species of birds and you can expect to see zebras, wildebeest, spotted hyenas, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, buffalo, warthogs, impalas, jackals and leopards. The majestic Mount Kilimanjaro is a Kenyan safari must-see. She comes out from the mist in the early morning, while some of the largest tuskers you’ll ever see graze at her feet, and will spoil you with huge herds drinking water from surface springs.
Tsavo safaris
Tsavo’s two national parks create the largest protected wildlife sanctuary in Kenya. More remote than Kenya’s other safari parks, the massive area offers vast landscapes to explore. The sight of elephants spraying the blue waters of the Galana River on themselves is one you’ll cherish for life.
You can also spot the giraffe, cheetah, lion, serval cat, leopard, oryx, gazelle, buffalo, antelope, stripped hyena, impala and approximately 500 species of birds. Tsavo East is also home to two iconic trees, the baobab and the doum palm.
Samburu safari
Samburu is the perfect place to start an adventure. With game drives offering hundreds of elephants, lions, buffaloes and leopards, you will see Samburu’s own ‘Special Five’: the Beisa Oryx, Gravy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, gerenuk and reticulated giraffe. You can also opt for a camel safari – an iconic African adventure you’ll never forget.
