Kenya
The Home of Safari
Where the safari story began
Kenya is East Africa distilled: the great herds of the Maasai Mara, elephants drifting beneath the snows of Kilimanjaro, the flamingo-pink lakes of the Rift Valley, and a coastline steeped in a thousand years of Swahili trade. It is a country you can cross in a week yet return to for a lifetime — wild, warm and endlessly photogenic, with a depth of wildlife and culture that keeps travellers coming back year after year.
Six reasons to go
The Great Migration
Beyond the Big Five — the drama of the river crossings, where big cats and crocodiles await the herds.
Maasai Communities
Walk the bush with Maasai guides and discover one of Africa’s most enduring living cultures.
Big Tuskers & Kilimanjaro
