The Maasai Mara National Reserve is the most visited park in the nation. During the seasons the grass in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park dries up. So a large number of herbivores, for the most part, wildebeest, start their yearly excursion back to the Maasai Mara in Kenya.

In Maasai Mara, at the time of the migration, the grass is long and green after the extended April downpours. The thrill is around the relocation alone, and the obstacles they face en route. Lions, cheetahs, panthers, hyenas, wild canines, and jackals go after them on land, and as they cross the Mara River, crocodiles await. There is a lot of activity every step of the way.

3. Amboseli National Park

Amboseli National Park is an elephant terrain. The thunderous movement of these magnificent creatures is a unique experience. To make it stunningly better, sightseers receive a stunning perspective on Tanzania’s heavenly Mt. Kilimanjaro.

As the Kenya Wildlife Service clarifies, ‘nature lovers can investigate five distinct living spaces here going from the evaporated bed of Lake Amboseli, wetlands with sulfur springs, savannah and forest’.

4. Samburu National Reserve

Samburu National Reserve is dry the more significant part of the year. In any case, it includes neighbouring parks, Buffalo Springs and Shaba; all served by the Ewaso Nyiro River.

The hilly scenery, complemented by humongous termite hills, has vegetation from bushes and dry prairie to doum palm trees.

To add to that – it lies on the Equator. Filled with wildlife, creatures local to the two sides of the Equator reside here. They incorporate grévy’s zebra, gerenuks, the reticulated giraffe, blue-legged Somali ostriches and the East African oryx.

5. Aberdare National Park

A safari here radiates a genuine countryside vibe. Situated close to Mt. Kenya, it is generally cold and ordinarily tormented by an early morning fog that rapidly scatters as the sun rises. It has two differentiating environments; The Kinangop Plateau contained moorland, and the Salient included thick lavish rainforest and a progression of slopes dabbed with cascades.

Because of its high elevation, it gives the absolute best all-encompassing perspectives, climbing and untamed life encounters. In any case, you must be on high alarm as the thick vegetation shapes a decent safehouse for the creatures. Elephants, panthers, hyenas, bison, dark rhino and even the uncommon dark panther are a portion of the untamed life you will experience.

6. Tsavo West National Park

Tsavo West is the exemplification of ‘the wild’. Tsavos’ rough slopes, organic springs, swamps, inactive volcanic cones and a magma bed, join in shaping an emotional vista.

Hippos and crocodiles rule the springs while zebras, oryx, lesser kudus, rhinos, giraffes, gazelles, impalas and elephants go for the various waterholes. Where there is prey, predators are not a long ways behind. Cheetahs, panthers, lions, and hyenas lie in wait by the water.

7. Nairobi National Park

Other wildlife on display includes wild oxen, giraffes, warthogs, gazelles, zebras and ostriches. There are likewise 400 flying creature species further down in the forested region close to the waterways. The recreation centre offers two game review choices: a drive around the recreation centre or a safari stroll through a canopied bridge.

The Lake Nakuru National Reserve, well known for its flamingo populace, has not lost its shine. It is a few hours from Nairobi, making it an ideal goal for a one-day safari trip. The Rift Valley slope, the great lake and the surrounding vegetation, with inconsistent meadow structure the scene here.

Expect occasional cascades relying upon the season. The stream around the lake has hippos, waterbucks, high contrast rhinos, elands, impalas and a lot of flying creatures. The forested region, close to the assigned campground, is the place to discover lions – up in the trees.

9. Meru National Park

Meru National Park is one of the lesser-known national parks; however, it is also one with a ton to offer. The scenery is spectacular – the dry meadow appears different against the moving slopes and the woods found along streams.

Creatures found in this spot incorporate lions, cheetahs, panthers, hyenas, hippopotamus, wildcats, and gazelles. Its vegetation comprises of acacia bushland and riverine woods.

As per my understanding, this wild park offers a superior safari experience during the dry seasons when vegetation is less, and there are no close shrubberies to conceal creatures.
