Kenya National Reserves

Approximately 12 Game Reserves spread across five major regions

A tour into Kenya’s National Reserves introduces one to the heart of wild Africa, with over 12 reserves within its borders. Among these are two of the most popular reserves: Masai Mara, famous for the Great Migration, and Samburu National Reserve, known for rare “Special Five” species. Each has a varied experience. From personal encounters with the lions, elephants, and rhinos to a wider view of the Kenyan savannah and forests, these reserves surely give any visitor their time of life.

Samburu Game Reserve is located in Kenya’s Rift Valley, in the southeastern section of Samburu County. It is separated from the Buffalo Springs Game Reserve to the south by the Ewaso Nyiro River.

Nasolot Game Reserve is a picturesque and rough reserve in the rift valley province’s west Pokot region. It is located north of Mount Melo and 528 kilometers north of Nairobi city.

Malka Mari Game Reserve, with its undulating vistas of semi-arid bush and scrubby meadows punctuated by bits of riparian woods and palms along the Daua River, was gazetted in 1989 because of its allegedly high concentration of species.

Mwingi Game Reserve is a recognized Wilderness Activity Zone and provides for fly camping, fishing, camel, and horseback safaris for the adventurous traveler.

Mwea Game Reserve is located in Eastern Province’s Mbeere District, roughly 200 kilometers from Nairobi. Small hills with bushy vegetation and scattered huge trees make up the savannah habitat.

Masai Mara Game Reserve is one of Africa’s Greatest Wildlife Reserves, located in southwest Kenya.

Lake Bogoria Game Reserve is only accessible via day trip and is only included on a few tourist itineraries. The scenery and flamingos are the main attractions of the reserve.

Kakamega Forest Game Reserve, a remnant of the rain forest that once spanned throughout Central Africa, has been frozen in time.

Buffalo Springs Game Reserve, located on the Ewaso Nyiro’s south bank, is home to a comparable variety of animals as Samburu.

Bisanadi Game Reserve is located north of Meru Game Park, in a huge dry wilderness. Many creatures, including lions, elephants, cheetahs, rhinos, buffalos, and over 400 kinds of birds, live in this hot and dusty bushland.
