List of national parks of Kenya

In Kenya has a number of national parks, which are an important mainstay for tourism. At the same time many tourists mean in the parks protection against poaching.

The national parks are subject to the highest level of protection, then come the National Reserves ( Reserves ) and finally the sanctuaries (protected areas ). Sanctuaries are often in private hands and that complement or expand state conservation areas. In Kenya, only a few national parks or reserves are fully fenced, such as the Lake Nakuru National Park. There is often deferred to inhabited areas, such as in Nairobi to Nairobi National Park or in Voi to Tsavo National Park. Most of the parks are subject to the management of the Kenya Wildlife Service, Reserves are also managed by the local authorities, such as the famous Maasai Mara.

The cash directly at the entrance gates (gate) of the major national parks in Kenya was abolished. Self-propelled visitors must purchase at the main entrances a so-called smart card. The acquisition of the card is also possible in Mombasa and Nairobi.

One of the first nature reserves in Kenya was the 1899 Southern Reserve scale with round 33,000 km ².
