Widely considered to be Africa's greatest wildlife reserve and the jewel in Africa’s crown, Maasai Mara is home to a spectacular array of wildlife. The open savannah, woodlands and tree-lined rivers create an eco-system that supports huge numbers of bird and mammal species.
Lions are found in abundance throughout the park, as well as Elephant, Giraffe, Zebra, and a variety of Gazelle species. Cheetahs are regularly seen and, with luck, you may also find Rhino and the elusive Leopard.
Spectacular backdrop of Mt Kilimanjaro; Take a micro light flight over the plains; See the Big five – also over 400 bird species, including the bee-eater, kingfisher, African fish eagle, marital eagle and pygmy falcon; the Maasai tribe that live in the park.
The most distinguishing feature of Amboseli is its dramatic setting. Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, rises a majestic 19,340 feet (5,895 meters) just across the Tanzanian border, in full view of the park.

The Aberdare National Park was created in 1950 to protect the forested slopes and moors of the Aberdare Mountains. It has a population of elephants, lions, rhinos, leopards and the beautiful but elusive bongo antelopes.
Famous for its setting of Joy Adamson's book "Born Free" and home of Elsa the lioness, Meru National Park is beautiful and wild.
Meru is a savannah National Park. It is beautiful and wild. It is part of a complex of protected areas along the Tana River that includes the adjacent Bisanadi and Mwingi National Reserves (to the east and south respectively), Kora national park and Rahole national reserve.
The wetter North Western sector is hilly, with rich volcanic soils. The land flattens towards the East, where grey alluvial volcanic soils appear.
Samburu offers Kenya’s greatest – and least changed – encounter with wild Africa. It is one of the most interesting places in Kenya, unique for several reasons: This harsh, beautiful wilderness depends on the steady flow of the Uaso Nyiro River for its existence, which brings the Aberdares waters, and those of the crystal clear Buffalo Springs, on the eastern side of this reserve.
The river waters a variety of animal species found only north of the Equator, including the majestic Beisa Oryx, the reticulated giraffe, the thin-striped Grevy’s zebra, and the ‘giraffe-necked’ gerenuk antelope, which stands on its hind legs to feed.

Tsavo is a rugged beautiful wilderness. It has a savannah ecosystem that is made up of open grasslands, scrublands and acacia woodlands. Then there's the marvel of Mzima Springs, replenished with twenty million litres of crystal-clear water a day, from the underground streams of the nearby Chyulu Hills.
The Springs form a haven for wildlife where elephant soak half immersed in the waters, light-footed hippo’s tip-toe across the bottom and crocodiles bask on the banks.
Nairobi, as a capital city, is unique in having a wildlife park on its doorstep. Indeed the city abuts the park on all but the southern perimeter so it is possible to photograph a rhino, browsing peacefully among the whistling thorn with high rise office buildings in the background.
Some of the wildlife is migratory and when there is grazing and water outside the park it moves out into Maasai land through the unfenced southern boundary. But there is also a resident population of plains game and carnivores so a visit at any time of the year is rewarding.
