The Best Places to Visit on a Kenya Safari
Maasai Mara National Reserve
One of Africa's most famous safari destinations, the Maasai Mara is renowned for its abundant wildlife and vast open grasslands. It is an excellent place to look for the Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo – as well as cheetahs, giraffes, zebras and huge herds of wildebeest.
The reserve is particularly famous for the Great Migration, when enormous herds of wildebeest and zebra move between Tanzania's Serengeti and Kenya's Maasai Mara. The timing varies each year, but the spectacle is one of the great wildlife experiences in Africa.
Amboseli National Park
Amboseli is famous for its large elephant herds and spectacular views towards Mount Kilimanjaro, just across the border in Tanzania. Its open landscapes and swamps attract a wide variety of wildlife, making it a wonderful destination for photography and game drives.
Lake Nakuru National Park
Set within the Great Rift Valley, Lake Nakuru is known for its birdlife, beautiful scenery and opportunities to spot rhinos, giraffes, buffalo and other wildlife. It is often included in classic Kenya safari itineraries.
Tsavo National Parks
Tsavo East and Tsavo West form one of Kenya's largest protected wildlife areas. With wide-open landscapes, impressive rock formations and famous red-dust elephants, the parks offer a different and often quieter safari experience.
Lake Naivasha & The Great Rift Valley
Enjoy beautiful lakeside scenery, birdlife and a more relaxed pace in the Great Rift Valley. Lake Naivasha is known for its hippos and birdlife, and can provide a lovely contrast to the excitement of traditional game drives.
Nairobi
Kenya's capital is often the starting or finishing point for safari holidays. Visitors can discover its museums, markets and cultural attractions, as well as nearby wildlife experiences such as Nairobi National Park.
Kenya Safari & Beach Holidays
Why not combine the excitement of an African safari with some time relaxing beside the Indian Ocean? Kenya's coastline offers beautiful sandy beaches, warm waters and welcoming beach resorts, making it an ideal way to finish a touring holiday.
Popular coastal destinations include:
- Diani Beach – a beautiful stretch of white sand south of Mombasa, ideal for relaxing after a safari.
- Mombasa – a historic coastal city with beaches, culture and a lively atmosphere.
- Watamu – a relaxed coastal destination known for its beaches and marine life.
- Malindi – a popular seaside resort with a mix of beach life and Swahili culture.
A safari and beach combination can be a wonderful way to experience two very different sides of Kenya in one holiday.
