List of Kenya Wildlife





This is a List of Animals which may be seen in Kenya. A qualified guide will be able to identify these animals and give information on their behavior. For detailed information on the Kenya wildlife, a good field guide is invaluable, and best purchased before your arrival. (The Safari Companion is one of them)

Kenya covers two major Wildlife zones, so certain species are only found in the northern and arid areas. Due to having two rainy seasons, Kenya is able to support higher densities of game than in southern Africa, making it excellent for game-viewing opportunities.
