The big five animals are the highlights of any African travel safari and wildlife offered in Kenya’s top destinations, such as Amboseli National Park and Masai Mara National Reserve, which share the same border with Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. This Masai Mara Reserve is among the top two leading destinations in Africa, if not globally but famous for the annual Great Wildebeest Migration.

However, the country has other wildlife destinations and these include Samburu National Reserve, Lake Naivasha, Tsavo National Park, Lake Nakuru, Shaba and Buffalo Springs, among others. Selecting the safari destination emerges from the traveller’s interest, relating to wildlife such as mammals or bird species, based on one’s bucket list and travel budget. However, Masai Mara remains Kenya’s highlight wildlife reserve because of its incredible wildebeest migration.

Well, planning for wildlife safaris in Kenya during game drives is one of the most unforgettable wildlife experiences whereby visitors get a chance of participating in various activities, including night game drives, horse riding, guided nature walks, hot air balloons, river rafting, and cultural encounters, among others.

Cultural encounters with the locals enhance the tourism experience, emphasising Kenya’s cultural norms and values, crafts and domestic food stuffs. Additionally, with efforts of responsive tourism, these local communities gain a lot from tourism while enhancing sustainability.

Kenya also offers a blend of adventure and relaxation in some of its outstanding places, such as Mombasa, Nairobi and the beach life experience at Diani Beach along the coast. The best time to visit Kenya for exceptional wildlife safaris is during the dry season, which is conducted from late June to October. The Great Wildebeest Migration primarily reaches the Masai Mara game reserve during August until October on their way back to the Serengeti in Tanzania. Although, wildlife viewing can be done all year round, this varies for some parks.
