If you want to experience the wildlife in its natural habitat, then you should consider a Kenya Safari tour. Several famous parks in Kenya are a must-see on a Kenya safari. Here, you will learn about the Masai Mara, Amboseli National Park, Tsavo National Park, and Lake Nakuru National Park. In addition to these famous parks, you can also enjoy exciting bush walks and game drives.

Masai Mara
The Maasai Mara is a famous wildlife park in Kenya that is home to over 450 species of birds and 95 species of mammals. Millions of wildebeests migrate from the Serengeti every year to this park. Zebras, giraffes, and lions also call this place home. The Mara is located 270km from Nairobi, making it accessible for a Kenya safari tour in approximately four to five hours’ driving or forty to 45 minutes’ flight. The road is generally good from Narok town to Sekenani Gate and is the best way to enter the park.
There are many tours available to visitors to the Masai Mara. Most tours will include a visit to the Masai Mara Sanctuary. Here you can see the highest concentration of wildlife in the park. Upon your return, you can enjoy a champagne breakfast as you relive the experience. The Mara is famous for its large herds of elephants and zebras, and you will likely see the lions, cheetahs, and other giraffes.
Tsavo National Park
In addition to the famous Masai Mara, Kenya Safari tours to Tsavo National park offer the chance to see man-eatingeating lions and elephants. The two parks share a common geographical landscape and are located midway between Nairobi and Mombasa. Guests can visit both the Tsavo West and East regions and spend the afternoon observing the wildlife in either park. The Tsavo East is known for its thorny bushes and swampy marshlands near the river. This park has a wide variety of Kenyan animals, including the famous “Big Five” lions. Visiting Tsavo East is as easy as driving a vehicle through Mombasa or Nairobi and a seven-and-a-half-hour journey by road.
While in Tsavo East, travelers can enjoy the spectacular view of the Lugard Falls, named after Frederick Lugard. They can also enjoy the diverse bird life in Tsavo East, which boasts over 500 species, including migratory and permanent birds. Common bird sightings include the Rosy-patched goshawk, golden pipit, and Somali bee-eater. The park also features a wide range of other wildlife, including cheetah, buffalo, eland, leopard, spotted hyena, and impala.
Amboseli National Park
Amboseli is an excellent location for safaris to Kenya. It has fresh underground water from Mount Kilimanjaro, which ensures enough water for the wildlife that inhabits the park. In addition to the lions and other wildlife, the park is home to numerous species of birds, including flamingos and ostriches. This park is also home to the Maasai people, who live in villages around the park.
Amboseli is best visited between June and October. This is the dry season, when the grass and animals are low and waterholes are more accessible. In this season, spotting big cats is difficult, but elephants still roam the park. Moreover, during this time, the prices of tours and accommodations are lower. You can expect to save at least 30% on your trip.
Lake Nakuru National Park
In the Great Rift Valley of Kenya, lies Lake Nakuru National Park. This protected sanctuary is home to an amazing diversity of wildlife. Not only do you get to view flamingos and more than 400 species of birds, but you’ll also get to see black and white rhinos, lions, leopards, baboons, and several species of plain game. If you’re in the mood for a nature adventure, a safari to Lake Nakuru is sure to be fun!
Among the animals you’ll see in the park are millions of pink flamingos. The water is filled with algae that flamingos feed on. Besides flamingos, this national park is home to black rhinos, which are found in the park’s largest concentration. Other wildlife you’ll see here include lions, leopards, cheetahs, and antelopes.
Nairobi National Park
When you’re looking for a quick fix safari, the Nairobi National Park is an excellent choice. Located just seven kilometers outside the city, this park provides an amazing wildlife experience. There’s something for everyone at Nairobi National Park, and safari tours can take you to all the best spots. In addition to the lions, leopards, and giraffes, you can also visit the Karen Blixen Museum, which is the site of the autobiography “Out of Africa.”

A typical Nairobi National Park safari begins with a morning pick-up from your hotel. You’ll go on a three to four-hourhour game drive through the park, with a stop for lunch at a carnival-style restaurant. The next part of your trip is a search for the game, including cheetahs, lions, hyenas, antelopes, gazelles, and many more.
