“Outstanding wildlife is the main reason people chosose a Safari In Kenya. While many visitors come for the migration, Kenya is excellent year-round, with a large number of world-class national parks – apart from the Masai Mara, there’s Amboseli, Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Tsavo East and Tsavo West and Naivasha – where superb wildlife-watching is almost guaranteed.

An excellent way to view the open grasslands and wildlife, especially during the migration, is by hot air balloon. Booking in advance is strongly recommended, as Mara safaris and balloon trips are very popular.

Samburu

Located in arid northern Kenya, the Samburu Game Reserve borders the Ewaso Nyiro River, a key gathering area for wildlife. In addition to lion, elephant, giraffe and buffalo, it is home to several species only found north of the equator, including Grevy's zebra and the long-necked gerenuk.

The coast of Kenya is ideal for beach holidays, boasting islands, sandy beaches and coral reefs while the interior holds desert areas in the north, incredible lakes, top wildlife reserves and towering mountains, including snow-capped Mount Kenya.

The Big Five

The Big Five aren’t simply Africa’s topmost predators, but rather the continent’s five most challenging animals to track.

Today, the term “Big Five” refers to the five African animals on the must-see list of every safari adventure throughout Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana and South Africa. They include the lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros and Cape buffalo.

Wildebeest Migration

The Great Migration is the largest animal migration in the world. Each year, more than two million animals (wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle) migrate in a clockwise direction across the ecosystems of the Serengeti (Tanzania) and the Masai Mara (Kenya).

Kenya offers world-class wildlife viewing in legendary game reserves such as the Masai Mara National Reserve. Kenya’s most popular safari destination, the Mara boasts the country’s highest concentrations of lions, wildebeest and elephants.

Beach Holidays

The coast of Kenya is ideal for beach holidays, boasting islands, sandy beaches and coral reefs. A mombasa, Malindi or even a lamu beach holiday is a great way to unwind after a Kenya wildlife safari.

A Kenya safari can also be combined with a Seychelles Island vacation for a great experience.
