Kimana Sanctuary
A small community-run sanctuary east of the park where riverine woodland forms an elephant migration corridor, with night drives and walking safaris on offer.
Kimana Sanctuary covers about 24 square kilometers and is one of Kenya's earliest wildlife conservancies managed by a Maasai community. It sits on the wildlife migration corridor between Amboseli and Tsavo. Trees line the banks of the Kimana River, where elephants, giraffes and zebras are common, and lions also roam. Unlike the national park, the sanctuary permits night drives and guided walking safaris, and it is quieter with fewer visitors. Most guests stay at lodges within the sanctuary, and entry fees go toward the local community.
