Kenya is known for its iconic parks, but there’s so much more to explore. Here are some gems that deserve a spot on your bucket list.

1. Masai Mara National Reserve

Famed for the Great Migration and the Big Five, the Mara offers world‑class wildlife viewing from July to October. Try a hot air balloon safari for breathtaking views at dawn.

2. Naboisho Conservancy

This community‑run conservancy near the Mara emphasises responsible tourism. Walking safaris here allow you to experience the bush on foot and contribute directly to local communities.

3. Ol Pejeta Conservancy

Home to Kenya’s largest population of black rhinos and the last two northern white rhinos, Ol Pejeta combines conservation with adventure. Visit the endangered species enclosure and meet the conservancy’s dedicated rangers.

4. Samburu National Reserve

Samburu boasts unique species such as the reticulated giraffe and Grevy’s zebra. The rugged landscapes and colourful Samburu culture make this a photographer’s paradise.

5. Lake Nakuru National Park

Flamingos, pelicans and over 450 bird species flock to this soda lake. Rhino sightings and baboon cliff views add to the appeal.

6. Lamu Island

Step back in time on this UNESCO World Heritage island, where Swahili architecture, narrow streets and dhow cruises create a dreamy setting.

7. Nairobi Gems

Kenya’s capital offers wildlife and culture in one stop—feed baby elephants at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and spot lions in Nairobi National Park.

8. Diani Beach

Powdery sand and turquoise waters await at Diani. Snorkel, kite surf or simply bask in the sun.

9. Mount Kenya National Park

The second-highest mountain in Africa invites hikers to experience diverse ecosystems from tropical forest to alpine moorland.
