Location
Lake Nakuru National Park
Lake Nakuru National Park is just about 95 miles northwest of Nairobi. For the lovers of bird watching, it is home to over 400 bird species, including both the greater and lesser flamingoes, as well as white rhinos.
Masai Mara National Reserve
The Masai Mara is regarded as Kenya’s favorite and most popular game reserve, with over 140,000 visitors per year. The reserve lies approximately 270 kilometers west of Nairobi and covers an area of approximately 1,510 square kilometers, bordering the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The landscape is mostly open savannah grasslands and acacia shrubland.
Starting any time from late July large herds of Wildebeest and Zebra follow the rains and start grazing in the wide and open grasslands of what has become fondly known as “The Mara”. They may be late, but they will always make the trip, driven by dry conditions in the Serengeti and led by lightning and thunder to the north.
Come November they start the homeward journey bound again for the Serengeti. This annual spectacle is known as the “Wildebeest Migration” and is not to be missed!
At this time of year, you will also see a large number of lions, hippos, crocodiles, and vultures, all of which prey on the weak and young migrating animals. Other games to be found in the Masai Mara at any time of the year include elephant, cheetah, baboons, gazelle, giraffe, jackals, leopard, hyenas, water buffalo, ostriches, and a large variety of antelope and birdlife.
Amboseli National Park
This is Kenya’s second most popular national park after the Masai Mara Reserve. The Park is located 160 miles from Nairobi and offers a stunning view of Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru.
Amboseli is renowned for its large herds of free-ranging African elephants. There are over 900 African elephants in Amboseli and many other games including giraffes, African lions, monkeys, zebras, hyenas, and antelope.
