: Mount Kenya National Park

The majestic Mount Kenya is the backdrop to this exceptional park, offering its visitors mountain climbing, game viewing, cave exploration and camping. The park and its adapted vegetation was established in 1949 to protect Mount Kenya, the wildlife and surrounding environment. The protection can still be seen today, with the conservation of biodiversity an ongoing initiative.

Lake Nakuru National Park

This is one of Kenya’s most notable and finest national parks, varying in diversity in both the landscape and animal life. With rare tree-climbing lions often sighted at the forested area below Flamingo Hill, one must look up rather than down to spot these predators. A bird lover’s haven, the park hosts over 400 bird species including 5 globally threatened species, and is an important stop on the African-Eurasian Migratory Flyway. There is also a rhino sanctuary that protects the endangered white and black rhino.

Masai Mara National Reserve

Belonging to the native Maasai people since the 17th century, the Maasai Mara National Reserve is one of the most popular reserves in Africa. The game viewing in this region is spectacular with morning, afternoon and night drives offered. The most famous sighting is the Great Migration which takes place in July and August every year. A hot-air balloon ride at sunrise shows this magnificent splendour from a whole new perspective.
