The conservancy offers excellent game viewing all year round so you can expect to see an abundance of wildlife, including lions, rhinos, zebras, giraffes, and hippos.

Covers an estimated 767 square kilometers, the game-rich Aberdares National Park is a jewel located in the Central Highlands of Kenya. It was created in 1950 to protect the forested slopes and open moorlands of the Aberdare Mountains. The park houses over 250 bird species, elephants, black rhinos, leopards, warthogs, bushbucks, and even some rare species like the bongo and the blue duiker. Like most other safari destinations in Kenya, the long dry season from July to October is usually the best time to visit. Accommodations vary wildly, ranging from the highest standards of luxury and exclusivity to basic and simple housing. There are only two accommodation choices within the park itself, but there are several more around and they offer a good balance between price and quality.
The Amboseli wilderness is made up of a majestic lush landscape set against an awe-inspiring backdrop of Mt Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain. The melting snow from the mountain’s peak flows into underground springs that attract animals of all sizes year-round — from the free-roaming elephants, waterbucks, hartebeests, gazelles, and warthogs to the predatory lions, leopards, jackals, and hyenas. Surrounded by the vast expanses of rolling grasslands and shaded by the dense acacia grove, the accommodations at Amboseli National Park provide varying levels of immersion into life in the untamed bush. Some lodges even offer swimming pools and spas for a fully rounded vacation experience. Of course, if you want to be as close as possible to all the wildlife action, then you would have to opt for a tented camp or a mobile campsite, both of which offer modern amenities, so you’re not completely skipping out on comfort. The end of June dusts off the last rain showers and late October welcomes the beginning of the short rains, so the period in between is usually the ideal time to visit.
With so many wildlife species within the diverse landscape, Tsavo West National Park offers a one-of-a-kind expedition holiday in southeastern Kenya. Tsavo West shares its northeast boundary line with Tsavo East National Park, and together they form one of the largest national parks in the world today. The terrain is quite varied dotted with expansive savannah grasslands, rocky ridges, volcanic remnants, and riverine ecosystems, which play host to some of Africa’s fascinating animals like cheetahs, maneless lions fringe-eared oryx, vervet monkeys, and dik-diks. Your choice of accommodation obviously depends on your style and budget, but you can be sure that the many camps, lodges, and hotels around the park can provide what you need and enhance your safari experience. The lack of rainfall from July to October means that there less water and food sources for the animals, so it is easier to spot them.
This 11,747 square kilometers wilderness is known as one of the greatest biodiversity sites in the world. Not only is it home to plentiful wildlife, but it also features some breathtaking attractions like the Yatta Plateau, Athi-Galana-Voi-Tsavo Rivers, Lugards Falls, and many others. Tsavo East National Park is somewhere you can enjoy seeing mighty elephants with huge tusks, buffalo herds, impalas, zebras, graceful giraffes, warthogs, lions, and more in their most pure and unhurried, and in relative solitude. However, because Tsavo East plays a key role in Kenya’s wildlife conservation, especially the rehabilitation of orphan elephants, there are only a few accommodations set up in strategic locations in the park. Nevertheless, the available tented camps and lodges offer varying degrees of luxury to accommodate any visitor.
