Kenya Wildlife Park North Mara

A few years ago, Kenya Wildlife Service estimated that as much as 50 percent of wildlife in Kenya lives outside its national parks. The term National Park only refers to a small number of Kenya's protected wild spaces, so it's a little misleading. The Maasai Mara for example isn't a park, but it is Kenya's best known (and best) wildlife area.

Semantics aside, Kenya does offer wonderful contrast in its game viewing. In the south, the Maasai Mara or The Chyulu Hills are definitive East Africa, but head north to Laikipia Plateau or Shaba and you start to find a distinctly North African flavour, with desert adapted northern species. And don't make the mistake of believing you have to sit in a queue of minibuses in Kenya's National Parks and Reserves - you could do, but in the right places with the right people, you won't. This is why Kenya is so much about detail.

Do you need some help with this?
