Where to Go for a Safari in Kenya

Masai Mara is the top rated destination for a safari in Kenya

Masai Mara is also the most popular game reserve in Kenya. It is the
best place to see lions, cheetahs, and a great variety of wildlife.

Located in southwest Kenya, Masai Mara is the The northern tip of the rolling hills of the Serengeti Plains.

The shorter grasses of the plains help visibility and make it the best place for a safari in Kenya.

It is a prime location to see the great migration of the wildebeest, zebras, gazelle. Generally July-September (depending on the weather ) are the best months to go if you want to see wildebeest and parts of the Great Migration.

Samburu National Park

It is the Ewaso Ngiro river which runs through Samburu National Park and gives it life.

Located north of Nairobi and the equator, the area is a lot drier and hotter than parks to the south.

The only thing that saves this park from being completely arid is the river.

This river will provide you with lots of wildlife sightings because the animals are drawn to it to drink and the park is relatively small which concentrates the animals and makes them easy to find.

Aberdares National Park

Looking for a hiding place?..... Try the Aberdare Mountains.
Located in the Aberdare mountain range, Aberdare National Park has thick woodland forests, waterfalls and ice cold streams filled with trout.

Scottish explorer Joseph Thomson named the Mountains after Lord Aberdare who was then (1884) President of the Royal Geographic Society. The native people called it Nyandarua (Kikuyu for "place to hide").

When you go dress in layers and take your long underwear. It gets chilly in the mountains.

Amboseli National Park
A top rated park for a Kenya holiday,
vacation, or Safari in Kenya.

Situated close to Mt. Kilimanjaro this national park rewards you with memorable views of elephant, giraffe, hippo and antelope with the majestic snow topped mountain as a backdrop.

There is a lake:Lake Amboseli, however it is usually dry and it is salty.
It is streams from the mountain that feed swamp areas which support a rich variety of wildlife and birds such as pelicans, bee-eaters, eagles and kingfishers.

It doesn't have the regularity and consistency for predator sightings that a Kenya safari in the Mara provides but lion, leopard and cheetah are seen as well as old bull elephants with some of the biggest ivory tusks in Africa.

Rhino used to be found in this area but unfortunately they are no longer in the area due to poaching activity. More about Amboseli
