Where to Go
Kenya & Tanzania's Top Safari Parks
Eight of East Africa's most celebrated wildlife destinations, handpicked by our expert guides for extraordinary game viewing, dramatic landscapes, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
Kenya • Narok County
Masai Mara National Reserve
Widely regarded as Africa's greatest wildlife sanctuary, the Masai Mara offers year-round Big Five sightings across its vast open savannahs. Between July and October, millions of wildebeest pour across the Mara River in the world-famous Great Migration, making this the most spectacular wildlife event on the planet. Expert-guided game drives reveal lions, cheetahs, leopards, and countless plains species in their natural habitat.

Kenya • Kajiado County
Amboseli National Park
Amboseli is Kenya's most photographed park, where enormous elephant herds roam the open plains against the iconic backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak. The park is home to some of the largest free-roaming elephants on the continent, and the big skies make for breathtaking wildlife photography. Beyond elephants, Amboseli supports Maasai giraffe, lion, cheetah, and over 600 recorded bird species.

Kenya • Rift Valley
Lake Nakuru National Park
Lake Nakuru is a jewel of Kenya's Great Rift Valley, famous for its flamingo-fringed alkaline lake and thriving black and white rhino population. The park is a critical sanctuary for both species of rhino and supports lions, leopards, Rothschild's giraffes, and over 450 species of birds. Its compact size makes it ideal for a rewarding half-day or full-day game drive, often combined with the Masai Mara on multi-park itineraries.

Kenya • Northern Frontier
Samburu National Reserve
Samburu offers a completely different safari experience to Kenya's southern parks, with a rugged semi-arid landscape of doum palms, dry riverbeds, and ancient volcanic hills. The reserve is celebrated for its Special Five — Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, beisa oryx, and gerenuk — species found almost nowhere else on a Kenya safari. The Ewaso Ng'iro River is a magnet for elephants, crocodiles, and leopards, providing exceptional wildlife viewing year-round.

Kenya • Coast Province
Tsavo East National Park
Tsavo East is one of Kenya's largest and most ancient national parks, a vast red-earthed wilderness stretching towards the coast. The park is famous for its red elephants — so called because they coat themselves in the iron-rich laterite soil — alongside large prides of lions, leopards, and thousands of buffalo. The Galana River provides a perennial lifeline for wildlife, and the sheer scale of the landscape delivers a true sense of Africa's untamed wilderness.

Tanzania • Northern Circuit
Serengeti National Park
Tanzania's Serengeti is one of the world's most celebrated national parks, a UNESCO World Heritage Site spanning over 14,700 square kilometres of open grassland, woodland, and riverine forest. As the southern counterpart to the Masai Mara, the Serengeti anchors the Great Wildebeest Migration's annual circuit and supports the highest density of predators on the continent. Combining a Serengeti safari with Kenya's Masai Mara creates the ultimate East African migration experience.

Tanzania • Crater Highlands
Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest intact volcanic caldera, a natural amphitheatre that shelters a self-contained ecosystem of extraordinary density. Within its 260-square-kilometre floor live lions, elephants, hippos, flamingos, and one of Africa's highest concentrations of black rhino. Because animals rarely leave the crater's rim, wildlife sightings are almost guaranteed on every game drive. Ngorongoro pairs perfectly with the Serengeti on a northern Tanzania safari circuit.

Kenya • South Coast
Diani Beach
Diani Beach is Kenya's premier coastal escape — a stretch of powder-white sand and warm turquoise Indian Ocean water, consistently rated among Africa's best beaches. Located just south of Mombasa, Diani is the perfect way to extend a Kenya safari with a relaxing beach holiday, combining game drives with snorkelling, diving, kite surfing, and dhow cruises. The forests behind the beach shelter colobus monkeys, making it a unique blend of wildlife and coastal paradise.

Why Kenya & Tanzania Are the World's Greatest Safari Destinations
East Africa is the cradle of the safari experience, and no two countries exemplify this better than Kenya and Tanzania. Together they form a contiguous wildlife corridor stretching from the semi-arid rangelands of Samburu in northern Kenya down through the Masai Mara, across the Serengeti's infinite plains, and into the volcanic wonder of the Ngorongoro Crater — an ecosystem so vast and so richly populated that it defies comparison anywhere else on earth.
Kenya's national parks and reserves offer extraordinary year-round game viewing. The Masai Mara is synonymous with the Big Five and the Great Wildebeest Migration — one of nature's last great spectacles — while Amboseli delivers unmatched elephant encounters beneath the towering silhouette of Mount Kilimanjaro. Lake Nakuru's soda lake shimmers pink with flamingos and protects both black and white rhino, and the remote wilderness of Tsavo East rewards those seeking an off-the-beaten-track African adventure.
Tanzania extends the safari experience further, with the Serengeti's year-round migration circuit and the Ngorongoro Crater's unrivalled density of wildlife in a single breathtaking natural amphitheatre. Adding a few nights at Diani Beach on Kenya's Indian Ocean coast transforms any safari into a complete East African holiday — bush, wildlife, culture, and coastline all in one seamless journey.
