What Is the Big Five?
The African Big Five traditionally refers to:
- Lion
- Leopard
- Elephant
- Buffalo
- Rhinoceros
A Kenya Big Five safari gives travellers the opportunity to search for these iconic animals across several wildlife destinations.
Maasai Mara
The Maasai Mara is particularly famous for big cats and offers excellent opportunities to encounter lions, leopards and cheetahs.
Amboseli
Amboseli is renowned for elephants and provides spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Lake Nakuru
Lake Nakuru is known for its rhinos and diverse birdlife.
Combining these three destinations creates a well-rounded Kenya safari.
How Long Should a Big Five Safari Be?
A 5- to 7-day itinerary can be a good starting point for travellers wanting to experience several major parks without spending too much time travelling between destinations.
