Tsavo one of the largest wildlife sanctuaries in the world, split into two regions. Forests are filled with monkeys and birds, whilst most of Kenya’s wildlife is resident in the park, with large herds of elephant, prides of lion, hippos and the recently relocated black rhino. Ambesoli one of Kenya’s most sought after destinations. Located in the shadow of Mt Kilimanjaro, the park is famous for its population of wild elephant. In addition to over 50 mammal species, some 400 species of bird have been recorded here. Masai Mara the finest wildlife sanctuary in Kenya. The wildlife is abundant and the gentle rolling grasslands ensure the animals are never out of sight. Amid this natural wonderland you’ll find herds of elephant, black rhino, Thompson’s and Grant’s gazelle, zebra and eland, offering a rich choice of food for the dominant predators – lion, leopard and cheetah.
