Destination

Kenya

Big landscapes, legendary parks and remarkable variety.

Kenya combines the Maasai Mara's big-cat plains with Rift Valley lakes, elephant country beneath Kilimanjaro and the dry northern reserves. Most safaris begin in Nairobi, where our planning team is based.

Why Kenya

Planning a Kenya safari

A first Kenya safari often links two or three contrasting regions: the Maasai Mara for predators and open savannah, a Rift Valley lake for rhino or birdlife, and Amboseli for elephants and mountain views.

Road safaris make the journey part of the experience, while scheduled light-aircraft flights can save time on longer routes.

  • Maasai Mara and the northern reach of the Great Migration
  • Rhino habitat at Lake Nakuru
  • Elephants beneath Kilimanjaro in Amboseli
  • Northern specialities in Samburu
