1. Maasai Mara National Reserve

The Maasai Mara is one of Kenya’s most iconic safari destinations and is famous for its abundant wildlife, including lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs and buffalo.

The reserve is also associated with the annual Great Migration, when millions of wildebeest and other animals move between the Maasai Mara and Tanzania's Serengeti ecosystem.

A Maasai Mara safari is ideal for travelers looking for classic African wildlife experiences.


2. Amboseli National Park

Amboseli is famous for its spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro and its large elephant population.

The combination of elephants, open savannah and the mountain backdrop makes Amboseli particularly attractive to photographers and first-time safari travelers.


3. Tsavo East National Park

Tsavo East is one of Kenya's largest national parks and offers excellent opportunities to see elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras and many other species.

Its vast landscapes make it a great option for travelers who want a more spacious safari experience.


4. Tsavo West National Park

Tsavo West offers a different landscape from Tsavo East, with volcanic scenery, hills, springs and diverse wildlife.

Visitors can combine Tsavo West with Tsavo East and the Kenyan coast to create a longer safari and beach itinerary.


5. Ol Pejeta Conservancy

Located in Laikipia, Ol Pejeta is known for its wildlife conservation initiatives and diverse wildlife.

It is particularly well known for its rhino conservation programs and provides travelers with an opportunity to combine safari with learning about conservation in Kenya.


6. Samburu National Reserve

Samburu offers a very different safari environment from the Maasai Mara.

The reserve is home to unique northern species such as the Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk and Somali ostrich.

The area's scenery and cultural experiences also make it an interesting destination for travelers looking beyond the traditional safari circuit.


7. Diani Beach

After several days on safari, Diani is an excellent place to relax.

Located on Kenya's south coast, Diani is known for its white sandy beaches, warm Indian Ocean waters and a range of activities including snorkeling, diving, boat excursions and marine experiences.

A safari followed by a few nights in Diani is one of the most popular ways to combine wildlife and beach relaxation.


8. Watamu

Watamu is a beautiful coastal destination offering beaches, marine experiences and a relaxed atmosphere.

Travelers can enjoy activities such as snorkeling, diving, boat trips and exploring the area's natural attractions.

Watamu works particularly well for travelers who want a quieter coastal experience.


9. Malindi

Malindi combines beaches, history and Swahili coastal culture.

It is a good destination for travelers interested in combining relaxation with cultural and historical experiences.

Malindi can also be combined with Watamu and other coastal destinations.


10. Lamu

Lamu offers a completely different experience from Kenya's safari destinations.

With its historic Swahili architecture, narrow streets, traditional dhow boats and distinctive coastal culture, Lamu is ideal for travelers looking for history, culture and relaxation.

Another option could be:

Nairobi → Samburu → Ol Pejeta → Lake Nakuru → Maasai Mara
