Its landscape ranges from swamps and shrunk lakes to semi arid areas and vegetated land. From Amboseli you can get a fantastic view of the majestic snow clad peak of Mt Kilimanjaro.

Lake Nakuru spread over 65 sq miles is the sanctuary for the black rhino. It's also the best place for bird watchers. There are thousands of colorful flamingos, which gather around the lake along with hornbills, cormorants and pelicans. There are waterbucks, giraffes and pythons here besides the beautiful cats, the lion and the leopard. Safari Kenya has to be about the great migration and Masai Mara.
