Discover Kenya: The Original Safari Destination
Kenya, the birthplace of the African safari, remains one of the continent’s most spectacular wildlife destinations. Dramatic contrasts in landscapes and an abundance of national parks, including Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, Samburu, and the world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve, showcase extraordinary wildlife. Combine this with the second-highest mountain in Africa, Mount Kenya, and the Kenyan coastline’s fantastic seafood and pristine white-sand beaches, and it’s clear why Kenya is considered a top African destination.

Experience Kenya's Iconic Parks, Reserves, and Islands:
Kenya offers a perfect blend of wildlife safaris, African wilderness exploration, birdwatching, natural sightseeing, white-sand beaches, and turquoise seas—the ideal “bush and beach” destination.
Parks and Reserves South of the Equator:
- Masai Mara National Reserve: The migrating zebra and wildebeest herds typically arrive in the Masai Mara around July and remain until October, often crossing the Mara River—a dramatic spectacle with crocodiles and lions lying in wait. The Masai Mara is known for exceptional “big cat” sightings. Even outside the migration season, the Mara offers spectacular game viewing.
- Amboseli National Park: With Mount Kilimanjaro as a stunning backdrop, Amboseli offers superb game viewing and is the best place in Africa to get close to large elephant populations.
- Lake Nakuru National Park: Witness the breathtaking sight of thousands of shimmering pink flamingos lining the lake’s shores.
- Lake Naivasha National Park: The highest of the Rift Valley lakes, this freshwater lake is a birdwatcher’s paradise. Nearby Hell’s Gate National Park is ideal for mountain biking or walking safaris.
- Tsavo East National Park: Popular for short safaris from the Kenya coast, such as Mombasa.
- Tsavo West National Park: Known for its dramatic scenery, diverse landscapes, and the infamous “man-eaters of Tsavo.”
Parks North of the Equator:

- Ol Pejeta Conservancy: A wildlife gem, home to the last two northern white rhinos, East Africa’s largest black rhino sanctuary, and the only place in Kenya to see chimpanzees.
- Laikipia Plateau: Stretching from Mount Kenya to the Great Rift Valley, Laikipia offers some of Africa’s most luxurious safari lodges and diverse wildlife, including large elephant herds and endangered species.
