Kenya’s National Parks

Discover Kenya’s National Parks, 21 of which are located across five major regions.

Kenya’s national parks play a crucial role in wildlife conservation, environmental protection, and sustainable tourism. Managed by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), these parks protect thousands of species of flora and fauna while providing employment opportunities and revenue for local communities through tourism. Kenya’s dedication to conservation has positioned it as a global leader in protecting endangered species, including rhinos, elephants, and big cats.

Additionally, national parks serve as research centers for scientists studying animal behavior, climate change, and biodiversity. For visitors, they offer unparalleled opportunities to experience nature in its purest form, away from the pressures of urban life.
