The dry, acacia-dotted scrubland of Shaba National Reserve is where leopards are common and different species of zebra, giraffe and ostrich live. The Aberdare Mountains offer unique nighttime game viewing from tree lodges as predators and prey come to floodlit waterholes. The Lake Nakuru National Park, a sanctuary for the endangered Black Rhino, is an ornithologist’s paradise and known for its flamingos. And finally, the Maasai Mara, Kenya’s finest game reserve, home to the ‘Big Five’ and the world-famous seasonal migration.
