Top Kenya Safari Tours

It is completely possible and strongly advised to visit three or four separate protected areas during a typical two-week safari. Ideally, each one would provide a completely unique ecosystem and population of wildlife.
Uncertain about where to start? Some of Kenya's top safari parks and reserves are listed below:
Samburu Sarara Camp
Dramatic light aircraft glide across the sharply rising peaks of the Mathews Range in northern Kenya to arrive at this six-tent wilderness camp. It was established by third-generation Kenyans in collaboration with the neighborhood Samburu community and is situated within the Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy.
Horseback rides can take visitors to the reticulated giraffes and the infinity pool, where elephants from as far away as Ethiopia come to drink. Visitors have the chance to see the Singing Wells, where cattle herders sing to their animals while they dig for water.
In close proximity is the Reteti Elephant Orphanage, which was founded in collaboration with the locals.
The Masai Mara
The Masai Mara, which runs along the Kenya-Tanzania border and comprises the northern edge of the larger Serengeti ecosystem, is the epitome of an African safari environment (most of which is in Tanzania).
The largest concentration of large creatures on the globe can be found in the expansive grass plains of the Mara, as it is more commonly known.
Large prides of black-maned lions, howling elephants, grumpy buffalo, and an assortment of antelope and gazelles can all be found here. And that's before we even mention the other smaller animals and the enormous variety of birds.
Tsavo National Parks (East And West)
The Tsavo East and West National Parks encompass a sizable portion of Kenya.
Wales, or two and a half times the size of Yellowstone National Park, is covered by Tsavo West, the larger of the two parks.
The Nairobi-Mombasa motorway separates the two parks, making it simple to go there from either city.
The verdant slopes of Tsavo East stand in stark contrast to the red soil and volcanic landscapes of Tsavo West, despite the two parks being right next to one another.
Icheche Bush Camp
The Olare Motorogi Conservancy, which borders the Maasai Mara National Reserve, is home to some of the greatest wildlife photographers in the world. A large big-cat population here ensures excellent game viewing.
The superb guides, who are masters at interpreting animal behavior and strategically placing vehicles, draw a devoted following, and the shared eating area rapidly takes on the atmosphere of a family home.
Although there are eight spacious, opulent canvas tents with running water scattered throughout the jungle, most guests prefer to relax in the lounge, gather around a campfire, or play cricket with giraffe bone stumps.
Asilia Rekero Camp
This traditional safari camp, which overlooks the Talek River in the Maasai Mara National Reserve, is ideally situated for the wildebeest migration. There are front-row seats for all the excitement on the wooden dining deck, and several of the nine rustic tents enjoy river views.
There is still plenty to see and hear in town even when the gnus aren't there. Hippos honk all through the night, giraffes frequently come to drink, and lions can be seen relaxing on the warm granite rocks. For low-angle photos, beginning photographers can reserve Asilia's specialized photographic truck with drop-down sides.
Severin Safari Camp, Tsavo West
Tsavo West is now a separate national park from the larger park it belonged to. It is a stunning landscape dominated by lava flows and volcanic cones that feels off the conventional tourist map.
The 27 tents, canvas suites, and self-catering cottages at this sizable German-owned camp in the middle of the park are arranged around watering holes where giraffe and antelope congregate. A decent spa and pool are advantages of a larger camp, despite the intimidating size.
Visit the neighboring Mzima Springs, which has an underwater viewing tank where you can observe hippos and crocodiles below the surface on guided bush hikes. The Indian Ocean is nearby (about a four-hour drive away), which encourages a bush and beach combo.
