What can I say.
Thats the specific reason Kenya is THE safari destination!
Are you seriously asking?
The most common would probably be dogs
But you probably mean wild animals right?
So:
Lion, cheetah, elephant, rhino, buffalo, zebra...blah blah...
and of course the wildebeest (at migration time -- and all the time too).
If interested in an African Safari, you can't claim to have been on one if you do not visit Kenya!
There, my good citizen bit!

Popular Kenya animals that people see on a Kenya safari include the big five ( Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo and Rhino) and over 30 other different species. The list is too long to diplay here but I found this link Kenya Animals - the great of Kenya Safari Wildlife and a "must-see" on a wildlife African Safari which lists most of them.

Easy to find, even on the roadside or near entrances to game parks: zebra, various gazelles like Eland, giraffe, antelopes.

Medium hard to find, game parks primarily: lionesses (females, they do most hunting), cheetahs, gnus, wildebeest.

Hard to find (you may be within feet and not know): leopards, rhino (yes, big but can hide in bush, I saw one from 2 feet, looked like a rock!!), lions (male).

Kenya is home to many wild animals including the reticulated giraffe which you can not spot anywhere else in the East Africa region. This is where photography safaris was first publicized. Common animals include the wildebeest, zebra and gazelle.

Of course Kenya is quite extinct from other animals unlike other countries we have communities that live along with animals for instance the big five (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo) If you have a walk in the (KWS) you cant miss these animals. I advise you to take a nature walk
