Kenya's
Wildlife
For many, the name
“Kenya” has always been synonymous with wildlife.
We are the home
of Africa’s famous “Big Five” (Lion, Elephant, Rhino, Leopard and Buffalo) and
it is true that this is the best place in the entire continent to see these
Five magnificent species in their natural environment.
But Kenya
has even more to offer. We have an incredible range of wild habitats, each one
with its own unique range of species. Open savannah, deep forest,
soda and freshwater lakes, alpine meadows, coral reefs, caves, beaches, river
deltas and even more.
A safari in Kenya means more than just
seeing animals. This is a chance for you to immerse yourself in a wild world
where the fascinating natural behaviour and interaction between species will
keep you enthralled.

Kenya’s wildlife is as diverse and varied as your safari options and the
role of Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) is equally diverse. This organization is
charged with the protection and conservation of the country's biodiversity,
both inside and outside our 48 Nati
onal Parks and Reserves, including Marine Parks.
This
means the conservation and management of Kenya's wildlife scientifically,
responsively and professionally. We do this with integrity, recognizing and
encouraging staff creativity, and continuous learning and teamwork in
partnership with communities and stakeholders.
