Maasai Mara National Park
Think of Africa and there’s a good chance that a picture of Maasai Mara National Park will pop to mind (while The Lion King’s “Circle of Life” starts mysteriously playing in the back of your head).
Lined by quintessential acacia trees spread across endless grasslands, the Maasai Mara is home to an exorbitant amount of wildlife, including lions, zebras, hippos, and all the African animals you know and love.

Amboseli National Park
Picture this: Hundreds of big-tusked elephants gather around backdropped by stunning vistas of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak.
Not only is Amboseli one of the best destinations in Kenya, it’s also one of Africa’s most breath-taking places to spot wildlife.
Lake Nakuru National Park
If spending the day spotting pink flamingos and chasing tree-climbing lionesses sounds like something you wouldn’t mind doing, then Lake Nakuru National Park should be at the top of your Kenya bucket list!
Diani Beach
Who doesn’t love their healthy dose of palm-fringed beaches and crystal-clear waters?
Set just a short drive away from Mombasa, arriving at Diani Beach is like finding paradise. With picture-perfect white-sand beaches and a number of adventurous activities for those who don’t want the fun to end, Diani caters to all types of travelers!
Malindi Marine National Park
Situated in the heart of the Indian Ocean, Malindi is famously the oldest marine park in the African continent and snorkeling along its crystal-clear waters is a must on any Kenya itinerary.
While exploring Kenya’s underwater world, you’ll stumble across dolphins, endless coral gardens, and some of the best marine life Kenya has breathing under its waves.
