Lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros and buffalo are among Africa’s most recognised safari animals.
01 / 05
Known for its strength and impressive mane, the lion is one of Africa’s most recognisable animals. Lions live in groups called prides and are often seen resting before becoming more active in the cooler hours.
02 / 05
An elusive spotted cat, the leopard is a skilled climber that often rests in trees. It usually lives alone and relies on stealth when hunting.
03 / 05
Africa’s largest land animal, the elephant is known for its intelligence, strong family bonds and versatile trunk. Elephants help shape the landscape and disperse seeds as they move.
04 / 05
Recognisable by its horns and powerful build, the rhinoceros is a plant eater. Kenya is home to both black and white rhinos, which are protected through dedicated conservation efforts.
05 / 05
A strong, social animal, the African buffalo often gathers in large herds. Its heavy horns and protective nature make it a formidable presence in the wild.
