Lions and cheetahs are present in most parks but are most easily seen in the Masai Mara.
Leopards, although relatively common, are rarely seen as they are nocturnal. The Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru National Park and Samburu National Park are three of the best places to see leopard.

The Masai Mara Game Reserve: This is the best place for the big cats, especially lions.
