Kenya

The safari capital of East Africa.

Overview

Kenya is where the African safari was invented — and it still sets the standard. The Maasai Mara delivers the Big Five and the Great Migration; Amboseli frames elephants against Mount Kilimanjaro; Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru offer rift-valley birding and rhino sanctuaries. Pair the wildlife with a beach finish on the Indian Ocean coast — Diani, Watamu, or Lamu — and you have the perfect ten-day Africa programme. Our Nairobi office runs ground operations directly, which means real prices and real flexibility.

Who it's for

Safari first-timers, photographers, honeymooners after a beach-and-bush combo, and MICE planners wanting an authentic African destination.

Best time to visit

July to October for the Great Migration in the Mara, and January to February for Amboseli and the coast. Long rains in April–May make tracks tough; short rains in November are usually no obstacle.

Highlights

  • Maasai Mara

    Big Five game drives, hot-air balloon at sunrise, and (July–October) the Great Migration river crossings.

  • Amboseli National Park

    Iconic elephant herds with Mount Kilimanjaro as the backdrop.

  • Lake Naivasha & Hell's Gate

    Boat safaris with hippos, walking and cycling among giraffes and zebras.

  • Diani & Watamu beaches

    White-sand Indian Ocean coast — kitesurfing, dhow cruises, and Tsavo East day-trips.

  • Nairobi city

    Giraffe Centre, David Sheldrick elephant orphanage, Karen Blixen, and the Nairobi National Park inside the city limits.

MICE in Kenya

A strong destination for groups and incentives.

Nairobi has a strong conference circuit (KICC, Sarit Expo, Radisson Blu) and pairs perfectly with a 2–3 night safari incentive add-on.
