The game reserve spans 1510 sq km, presenting breathtaking, wide-open landscapes and fertile riverine woodlands that trace the winding paths of the Mara and Talek rivers in Kenya. Just one glimpse reveals its enchanting allure: a classic open savannah teeming with diverse wildlife. The Mara always hosts game, but its character shifts dramatically with the seasons. Renowned as the ultimate destination for action and photography safaris, the reserve boasts stunning orange-tinged sunsets and an impressive variety of wildlife.
Nakuru, the most renowned of the Great Rift Valley lakes, is a mesmerizing soda lake nestled within a 62 sq km park, celebrated as a bird watcher’s paradise. The lake’s shallow waters famously turn pink due to the migratory flocks of thousands of greater and lesser flamingos, creating a breathtaking spectacle. Beyond its avian wonders, the park is home to black and white rhinos, the rare Rothschild’s giraffe, a small herd of buffalo, dik-diks, klipspringer, eland, the elusive leopard, and a diverse array of other plains game.
Lake Naivasha is a stunning freshwater lake fringed by thick papyrus, its surroundings teeming with an abundance of natural beauty and birdlife.

Nearby, the dramatic Hell’s Gate National Park, dominated by the mysterious Mt. Longonot, offers scenic hiking trails, friendly game viewing experiences on horseback, and cycling adventures, catering to every visitor’s preference.
Nourished by the muddy Uaso Ngiro River and natural springs, this reserve is classified as a lowland area, making it generally hot, arid, and dusty. Despite its harsh conditions, the reserve is exceptionally scenic, featuring ravine areas dominated by acacia and doum palms. The landscape is further accentuated by volcanic rock cones and craggy hills that add to its rugged charm. The reserve is well-known for its large populations of gerenuk, along with a variety of other species such as crocodiles, hippos, gazelles, Beisa oryx, Grevy’s zebras, Somali ostriches, reticulated giraffes, elephants, vervet monkeys, cheetahs, leopards, and lions, all of which inhabit its acacia woodlands, ravines, and grasslands. Visitors can also marvel at the diverse birdlife in the riverine forests.
The reserve is home to almost fairy-tale-like stories that are as fascinating as they are unique. Among them is the tale of the lioness “Kamunyak,” who famously adopted oryx calves and fiercely protected them from predators. Another extraordinary event is the rare birth of elephant twins to their mother, “Bora,” a phenomenon seldom seen in the wild.
Meru, located in the northern frontier east of Mount Kenya, spans 870 sq km and remains relatively untouched by tourism, adding to its allure. While the animals in Meru are plentiful, they tend to be more elusive. Despite being one of the driest parks in the country, it is interlaced with numerous rivers and streams originating from nearby mountains. The landscape is wild and richly endowed with dense ribbons of vegetation, featuring magnificent stands of baobab trees, doum palms, and raphia palms that run through the arid valleys. Meru is also famous for Elsa, the orphaned lioness raised by Joy and George Adamson, who was eventually returned to the wild in this very park.
One of Kenya’s most popular parks, Amboseli is truly a hidden gem. It forms part of a vast ecosystem, yet the park itself covers just 392 sq km and is nestled at the foot of Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro. This iconic mountain provides a stunning backdrop for photographers, with the snow-capped peak of Kibo visible on clear days. The park is a striking contrast of lush green marshlands and dusty grey plains, creating a unique and captivating landscape. The vast herds of elephants and the abundant plains game are some of the major attractions that make Amboseli a must-visit destination.
This expansive park: divided by the main Nairobi to Mombasa highway, spans approximately 2,000 sq km. Despite its arid nature and only having two permanent rivers, the flat landscape is dotted with hills and baobab trees, giving it a unique appeal. Tsavo is renowned for the legends of man-eating lions and its iconic ‘red’ elephants, named for the red murram earth they spray on themselves. The majority of wildlife congregates around the riverine areas lined with acacia and raphia palms. Common sightings include elephants, buffalos, ostriches, gazelles, giraffes, zebras, and numerous predatory cats. Less frequently spotted are species like gerenuk, fringe-eared oryx, and Hunter’s hartebeest. The park features several popular attractions, including Lugard Falls, the Yatta Plateau—the world’s longest lava flow—and Mzima Springs, which boasts an underground viewing platform for observing crocodiles, hippos, and various fish underwater.
Home to Africa’s second-highest mountain, this park straddles the equator and spans over 715 sq km. Considered sacred by the Kikuyu people, Mount Kenya is believed to be the dwelling place of their god, earning it the nickname “Kirinyaga,” meaning the mountain of whiteness and divine purity.
On clear days, the mountain’s snow-capped peaks are visible, though they are often shrouded in low cloud cover. With elevations ranging from 1,600m to 5,200m, the park boasts a diverse array of vegetation, including rich sub-alpine flora, low-lying forests, bamboo zones, moorlands, and tundra. Among its notable wildlife are the giant forest hog, tree hyrax, white-tailed mongoose, elephants, buffalos, suni, duikers, leopards, black rhinos, bushbucks, bongos, and a unique type of “golden cat”. The park is also a haven for bird enthusiasts, featuring species such as mountain buzzards, tinker birds, and various louries.
Slightly larger than Mount Kenya National Park, Aberdare National Park features a similar ecosystem. Spanning approximately 766 sq km, its mountain ranges rise to over 4,200 meters and are primarily covered in tropical high-alpine vegetation. The park’s lower regions are home to lush rainforests and bamboo forests, moorlands, stunning waterfalls, and trout-filled rivers and dams. Among the park’s most common wildlife are the giant forest hogs, black rhinos, elephants, lions, leopards, serval cats, and various monkey species. Bird enthusiasts will also be delighted by the park’s array of spectacular avian species.
Kenya boasts 536 km of pristine coastline along the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. While much of the coastline remains undeveloped, there are several developed areas stretching from Lamu Island in the north to Wasini Island in the south near the Tanzanian border. The coast is well-served by airstrips in Lamu, at Malindi, and at Ukunda airport in Diani on the south coast of Mombasa. Additionally, Moi International Airport in Mombasa provides convenient access to the North Coast resorts with just a short drive. Visitors arriving at Moi International can also reach the South Coast Diani resorts by road, crossing the Likoni Ferry—a brief trip that bridges the half-kilometre gap between the north and south coasts.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site, dating back to 1370, is one of Kenya’s earliest settlements and is rich in culture and history. It is renowned not only for its historical significance but also for offering comfortable accommodations.
