Kenya has 59 National Parks, Game Reserves, Marine National Parks and
reserves which account for approximately eleven per cent of Kenya’s
surface area. Proper management of the game sanctuaries is the hallmark
of the country’s conservation measures and commitment to Eco-tourism.
There are seven designated major tourist circuits as well as seven other
minor circuits. Each circuit is made up of a number of national parks
and game reserves and is home to wildlife that is unique to the
particular habitat.
Kenya’s priceless treasury of wildlife owes its very existence to
contrasts in the county’s terrain, which ranges from rugged snow covered
peaks of mount Kenya , the highlands, the savannah, the great rift
valley and its lakes as well as the simmering sands of the coast . Each
of these geographical regions is home to different types of wildlife
that are unique to each area.
