 Wildlife is Kenya's biggest asset and has made it one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Tourists often travel to Kenya for a dekko at the Big Five wildlife attractions of Kenya – lions, buffaloes, rhinos, leopards and elephants.
Almost all national parks in Kenya preserve these Big Five wildlife attractions. Here, you can see these animals prowling in their natural habitat, reigning supreme amidst other herds of animals.
Lion – A muscular body reiterates the majesty of this king of the jungle. African Lion can weigh up to 200 kgs and feed on various herbivorous animals. Wildlife safaris in Kenya are the best ways to see the spectacle of a lion hunting down its prey.
Leopard – Extremely powerful limbs, long tail and a golden yellow coating with dark rosettes make the leopard an imposing sight in the jungles of Kenya. Belonging to the family of Big Cats, the leopard is available in a variety of species all across Africa and Asia. Wildlife parks in Kenya offer a great opportunity to see this animal from close quarters.
Elephant – It is very fascinating to see herds of elephants traverse through the Kenyan national parks. Led by a senior female elephant, these animals can travel for long periods of time, seeking food and water.
Rhino – The second largest land animals after elephant, rhinos come in black and white colors. Poaching for their horns has led to the decrease in the number of rhinos available in the world.
Buffalo – With horns more than a meter wide, the Cape Buffalo is a completely untamable animal. Weighing about 700 kgs, this species has immense power and can easily defend itself from attacks by other animals and even humans.
