Kenya is often described as the heart of African safaris—and for good reason. Its vast savannahs, dramatic landscapes, and abundance of wildlife make it one of the world’s top safari destinations. At DISTINCTION FOCUS SAFARIS, we design unforgettable journeys into Kenya’s wild beauty, blending adventure with luxury. Here’s your ultimate guide to Kenya safaris.

Why Choose Kenya?

Kenya is home to some of the most iconic safari experiences, from watching lions hunt on the open plains to spotting elephants with Mount Kilimanjaro as a backdrop. The country’s national parks and game reserves host the “Big Five” (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino), along with cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and hundreds of bird species.

Top Safari Destinations in Kenya

  • Maasai Mara National Reserve – Famous for the Great Wildebeest Migration, the Maasai Mara offers some of the most action-packed game drives in Africa. Between July and October, over 1.5 million wildebeests and zebras cross the Mara River in one of nature’s greatest spectacles.

  • Amboseli National Park – Known as the “Land of Giants,” Amboseli is home to massive elephant herds set against the backdrop of snowcapped Mount Kilimanjaro.

  • Tsavo East & Tsavo West National Parks – Covering vast landscapes, these parks are ideal for spotting elephants, lions, and unique red-dust scenery.

  • Samburu National Reserve – A gem in northern Kenya, famous for its unique wildlife species like the reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, and gerenuk (the “giraffe gazelle”).
