The Hidden Wildlife of Kenya

Kenya is well-known for its Big Five, but beyond lions and elephants lies a secret world of wildlife waiting to be discovered. Far from the well-trodden safari circuits, lesser-known creatures thrive across Kenya’s diverse landscapes.
At Liberty Kenya DMC, we delight in introducing travelers to these hidden gems – rare creatures that make our safaris genuinely extraordinary.
Kenya’s Hidden Safari Gems
Picture a golden Samburu afternoon where a graceful gerenuk stands on its hind legs to nibble acacia leaves. Nearby, a shy bat-eared fox peeks from its burrow at dusk, oversized ears twitching. As night falls, the elusive pangolin – the world’s only scaly mammal – shuffles through the shadows, a precious sight few ever witness.
Across remote savannahs, endangered African wild dogs roam in agile packs, their mottled coats flashing as they give chase. Overhead, Kenya’s birdlife astonishes with more than 1,000 species – from dazzling sunbirds to great flocks of flamingos painting lakeshores pink.
