In Kenya’s national parks, tourists feel part of ancient nature: they spy on antelope, listen to the roar of wild buffalo, and smell the scent of predatory cats ready to hunt. Even with only a digital camera in hand instead of a gun, the experience is invariably thrilling.

In the Masai Mara National Park, you can encounter a variety of wildlife, including wildebeest, buffalo, leopards, rhinoceroses, and lions. In Tsavo National Park, you can spot impala and eland, hippos, and rare birds. Amboseli is famous for its elephants and giraffes, and Aberdare for its mountains and cedars. Watamu is known for its mangrove forests, and Meru for the Tana River and its diverse vegetation. Lake Nakuru is renowned for the pink plumage of flamingos, and Lake Naivasha amazes with its size and the turbulence of its waters.

Kenya Hotels
In major Kenyan cities, such as Nairobi, city hotels can be found. During safaris, tourists prefer to spend the night in lodges and camps located in or near national parks. These accommodations resemble traditional local dwellings and blend harmoniously into the surrounding landscape, providing comfort and safety.

Most lodges are stand-alone stone or wooden bungalows with thatched roofs, complete with rooms, restaurants, and other amenities. Tented camps are permanent tents with comfortable rooms, including a bed and a bathroom with a shower and toilet. Standard camps are tents that tourists pitch themselves in designated areas. This type of safari is the most affordable, although less comfortable for those unaccustomed to simpler conditions.

The most exotic option is “tree hotels,” similar to those used by European hunters for wildlife viewing. These small structures on stilts are disguised as trees and are usually located near a watering hole for wild animals. Inside, these hotels contain small rooms with shared facilities on each floor, as well as a restaurant, a bar, and an observation deck for observing the animals.
