    Your Kenya safari destinations at a glance<\/h2> \t

    Not every wildlife destination in Kenya is a national park. That distinction matters when you\u2019re planning your route: the Masai Mara is a national reserve<\/strong>, Lake Nakuru and Hell\u2019s Gate are national parks, and Lake Naivasha is a lake destination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Together, they offer more than variations on a game drive. The Masai Mara brings the open savannah into focus. Lake Nakuru pairs wildlife watching with lakeside scenery and birdlife. Lake Naivasha adds another waterside landscape, with Hell\u2019s Gate offering a different perspective on Kenya\u2019s wild places nearby.<\/p><\/div>\n\t
