Why This Route

Kenya's two most popular parks, unlimited wildlife

These are Kenya's two most popular parks - because it's where all the popular animals go: lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, wildebeest, zebra and gazelle.

The Masai Mara National Reserve is considered the king of Kenya's parks, home to numerous prides of lion and all of the famous Big Five. Amboseli National Park is a dreamy place of soaring peaks, framed by Mt. Kilimanjaro and filled with stately parades of big-tusked elephants.
