The East African country of Kenya is known for its massive

congregation of wildlife, ancient tribe of Maasai

community, and adventurous safaris. What all this, and

more, possibilities lead to is a set of mind-blowing

locations with some outstanding views to capture.

Volunteering Solutions provide affordable volunteer

programs in the capital city of Nairobi, which neighbors

several of such sites, making it a great package for

overseas volunteers to make their journey a memorable

one. Here is a comprehensive list of sites in Kenya with

some of the most breathtaking views: 

1. Masai MaraTaking forward the famous Serengeti

National Park of Tanzania inside the

borders of Kenya, is this most famous

National Reserve of Kenya; popularly

known as The Mara by the locals.

Popular for the great annual migration

and the presence of the ‘Big 5’ of Africa,

Masai Mara provides some of the best

wildlife views in the world. The best

part is, along with the jungle safari on

land you have the options to take a hot-

air balloon safari to get an amazing

aerial view of the reserve.

2. Lake Nakuru

Where there is lake, there will

be migrant birds for sure. At

lake Nakuru, one may find a

huge congregation of flamingo

birds lining up the shore. It is

one of the finest National Parks

in Kenya with opportunities to

view the white and black

rhinos both, tree climbing

lions, baboons and more.   

3. Hell’s Gate National Park

Hell’s Gate is an ideal venue for a

day trip from Nairobi where, in

addition to the bio-diversity that

includes raptors, visitors can enjoy

mountain biking, rock climbing and

a natural spa. Spectacular scenery

including the towering cliffs, water-

gouged gorges, stark rock towers,

scrub clad volcanoes and belching

plumes of geothermal steam make

it one of the most atmospheric

Parks in Africa.

4. Diani Beach

Located 30kms south of

Mombasa city, the Diani beach

is a Kenyan paradise. The

general area is known for its

coral reefs, black-and-white

colobus monkeys, and for the

closely located Shimba Hills

National Reserve, a wildlife

reserve which looks out over

the Indian Ocean

5. Ruins of Gedi

What once was an artistically

constructed and managed

town, today has a dead silent

space with a palace, mosque,

and several coral-brick

houses. Assumed to be

formed during the 13th or the

14th century, the researchers

are yet to proclaim the actual

reason of abandonment.

6. Ngong Hills

Located at a short hand

distance of 22kms from the

capital city of Nairobi, where

Volunteering Solutions place

volunteers, is this wide open

space of lush green hills.

Overlooking the main Nairobi

National Park, the Ngong hills

are located at a height of 2460

mtrs providing some really

stellar views.

7. Menengai

Unarguably, one of the most

interesting locations in Kenya,

Menengai is a large crater and

shield volcano. It’s the largest

volcano caldera in Kenya and

the second largest in Africa.

The location also carries

several local beliefs of spirits

of war, but certainly provides

some thrilling views.

8. Amboseli National

Reserve

Located at the Kenya-Tanzania

border, this massive National

Park is spread over an area of

close to 40,000 hectares.

Second most popular reserve in

Kenya after the Masai Mara, one

can get the opportunity to have

stunning views of wildlife and,

of course, the great Mt.

Kilimanjaro.

9. Mount Kenya

The second highest

mountain top in all of Africa,

after Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mount

Kenya is the highest peak in

the country. It is marked as

a UNESCO world heritage

site and witness more than

16000 travelers annually.

10. Minto’s Tarn

This is one of the most

simplistically beautiful spot in

Kenya, located on a plateau

above Lake Michaelson. Non-

uniform rock formations,

green landscape, and of

course, the serene view of the

tarn; all this makes for a

breathtaking view for sure.
