Kenya
- Africa
Overview
Kenya is a popular and easily accessible safari location in Africa. The “Big Five,” which include the lion, elephant, rhinoceros, African buffalo, and leopard, are among the outstanding variety and density of wildlife that the nation has to offer. The most challenging and deadly creatures to hunt as well as the most sought-after trophies are collectively referred to as the “Big Five” by hunters. Thankfully, nowadays, sightings of these animals are still much sought after even though just photographs are being recorded. Kenya is famous for the Great Migration which sees millions of animals travel through the Maasai Mara Reserve to the Serengeti in search of greener pastures.
In Kenya, there are colobus, vervet, and golden monkeys in addition to olive and yellow baboons. The ostrich, the largest bird in the world, and the sunbird, one of the smallest, are among the more than 1,135 bird species that call this country home. The “Little Five”—the antlion, the elephant shrew, the rhinoceros beetle, the buffalo weaver, and the leopard tortoise—are also found in Kenya.
