Top Kenya Safari Destinations
Kenya packs very different landscapes into a few hours’ drive. These are the parks our guests ask for most.
Masai Mara National Reserve
Kenya’s most famous reserve and the stage for the Great Wildebeest Migration, usually July to October. Expect lion, leopard, cheetah and dramatic Mara River crossings. About 5–6 hours by road from Nairobi.
Amboseli National Park
Big herds of elephants walking across open plains with Mount Kilimanjaro behind them. Clear mornings give the best mountain views. About 4–5 hours from Nairobi.
Samburu National Reserve
Dry northern country along the Ewaso Ng’iro River, home to the “Samburu Special Five”: Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, gerenuk and Beisa oryx.
Lake Nakuru National Park
A fenced rhino sanctuary with black and white rhinos, Rothschild’s giraffes and, in many seasons, flamingos along the shore.
Lake Naivasha
A freshwater lake in the Rift Valley with boat rides among hippos and a walking safari on Crescent Island.
Tsavo East & West
Kenya’s largest protected wilderness, known for red-dust elephants, lava flows and wide, quiet landscapes.
