Samburu

Samburu, in northern Kenya, is known for rugged landscapes and riverine forests. It is famous for rare species such as Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx and Somali ostrich, along with elephants, lions and leopards. Wildlife viewing is excellent and often more private due to fewer vehicles.

Maasai Mara

The Maasai Mara is one of Kenya’s most famous safari destinations, known for open plains and a high concentration of wildlife. The reserve is home to the Big Five and offers game viewing year-round. It is best known for the Great Migration, when wildebeest and zebras cross the plains and rivers in search of grazing.

Lumo

Located in Taita-Taveta County, Lumo Community Wildlife Conservancy covers over 48,000 acres and borders Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and Tsavo West National Park. This community-run conservancy supports conservation through ecotourism and is known for elephants and big cats, as well as buffalo, giraffes, zebras, antelope and rich birdlife.
