Ultimate Kenya safari: Amboseli, Meru & Masai

Nairobi

A metropolis with many contrasts, Nairobi is far more than a gateway to Kenya’s wilderness. Get a taste for safari in the city’s national park, see orphaned elephants while learning about their rehabilitation, and browse handmade keepsakes from community-run projects.

Amboseli National Park

Amboseli covers an area of 3,810 sq kilometres in Southern Kenya and is dominated by the majestic Mt. Kilmanjaro. It is justly famous for its big game - elephant, lion and cheetah are the main attractions - and for its great scenic beauty.

​

Meru National Park

The Meru National Park covers an area of 1,813 sq kilometres to the north east of Kenya. Meru is not a reserve to come and tick off the Big Five, bit rather its a wilderness experience. It is perhaps best known for Elsa the lioness, who was released here and famous by Joy Adamson’s books.​

Masai Mara National Reserve

One of Africa’s best-known wildlife areas, the Masai Mara National Reserve is home to some of the densest wildlife populations on the planet. From big cats stalking plains fame to vast herds of migrating wildebeest, it’s a land where animals call the shots.
