Kenya Safari

The ultimate guide to your next Kenya Safari

Get to Know Kenya

A safari in Kenya offers breathtaking natural beauty in one of the world’s most pristine environments and allows you to get up close and personal with some of Africa’s most sought-after animals.

Combined with the sight of Mount Kilimanjaro, all this makes a Kenya safari experience unique.

The annual Great Wildebeest Migration is best viewed from both sides of the Mara River, but you can experience the herds on the Kenyan side between August and October.

The southern parks and reserves like the Masai Mara and Amboseli National Park are well worth seeing.

So are the northern parts of Kenya’s private concessions and Samburu reserves, where you can find the Special Five: reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Gerenuk, Somali ostrich, and Beisa oryx.
