Safaris in Kenya take place in the country’s more than 54 national parks and reserves where visitors can see numerous wild animals including the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard) and over 1,070 species of birds.
Masai Mara
It’s the world’s most famous game reserve and offers excellent big cats encounters.

The Mara is also one of the best places to take a balloon safari.
