2. Elephant – Large herds roam Amboseli and Tsavo, with unique red-colored elephants found in Tsavo.

3. Leopard – Elusive and nocturnal, but often spotted in Samburu and Laikipia.

4. Buffalo – Found in nearly every park, especially Lake Nakuru and Aberdare.

5. Rhinoceros – Visit Lake Nakuru and Ol Pejeta Conservancy for both black and white rhinos.
