WILDLIFE
Kenya’s prolific wildlife is unparalled anywhere else in
the world. This is a land where the world’s remaining population
of big cats, big mammals and plains game still roam free in their
natural habitats. Besides being the home of the 'Big Five' (lion,
elephant, rhino, leopard and buffalo), Kenya accommodates industrious
dung beetles, brilliant-coloured butterflies, rare chameleons,
birds to the breath taking fauna and flora that surrounds the
same.
The
country’s terrain ranges from rugged snow capped peaks of
Mt. Kenya, the Highlands, the Savannah, the Great Rift Valley
and its lakes as well as the simmering sands of the Coast. Each
of these regions is home to different types of wildlife that are
unique to each area.

Kenya has a total of over 50 National Parks and Reserves, including
Marine Parks. These are supplemented by private sanctuaries and
game ranches which form about 10 per cent of Kenya�s
surface area. The most popular Parks & Reserves are Maasai
Mara, Samburu, Tsavo, Amboseli, and Lake Nakuru.

One
popular conservation oriented sporting event is the Rhino Charge,
geared at raising money for wildlife conservation. The event entails
off-road 4-wheel rallying through Northern Kenya to raise money
for wildlife conservation. For marathon runners, Kenya is well
suited for this activity, with marathon running being held at
the Lewa Downs Conservancy as a charity event to raise money for
wildlife each year.
