Kenya conjures up images of vast sweeping plains of golden savannah dotted with acacia trees and a profusion of African wildlife, including the world-famous Big Five. It offers visitors an authentic African safari experience with a touch of romance.
Highlights on any Kenyan bucket list will be the Masai Mara, Tsavo and Amboseli National parks in the south; and the adjoining Samburu reserves in the remote north; including Samburu, Buffalo Springs and Shaba, home to the ‘Special Five’ – the reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich and East Africa oryx. Jump on a thrilling safari to discover Kenya’s unspoiled wild landscapes, explore extraordinary terrain inhabited by diverse wildlife, enjoy the crystal-clear waters lapping palm-lined beaches fringing the spectacular Kenyan Coast and view large herds of elephants roaming the dusty plains against the spectacularly scenic vistas of
Mount Kilimanjaro – the world’s highest freestanding mountain.
Aside from the exceptional natural beauty in one of the world’s most pristine conservation environments in the Great Rift Valley, safaris in Kenya provide visitors with the chance to get up close to some of Africa’s most intriguing animals. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness the annual Great Migration between August and October and view the massive flocks of pink flamingos stepping delicately through lake shallows.
One of Africa’s most significant wildlife conservation and wilderness areas, the Masaai Mara makes up the northernmost part of the spectacular Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. It is famous for the Great Wildebeest Migration and its exceptionally abundant wildlife, including lion, leopard, giraffe, zebra, rhino, cheetah, crocodile, hippo and African bush elephant and much more.
Enjoy a bird’s eye view from a hot air balloon flight over Kenya’s Masaai Mara National Reserve, explore the wild landscapes on a thrilling horse riding safari, or spot game from a traditional safari vehicle to get up close to the incredible wildlife. Home of the quintessential African sunset featuring the iconic silhouetted acacia dotting endless stretches of savannah, Kenya’s Masaai Mara offers up the best of Africa.
Crowned by the majestic snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro in southern Kenya, the sensational Amboseli National Park fringes the Tanzanian border. Nature lovers will delight in the sheer variety and volume of wildlife scattered across the open plains, acacia woodland, and wetlands.
Famed for its large herds of big-tusked elephants, Amboseli is considered to be the best destination in the world to experience free-roaming elephants up close. Travellers can view the immense beauty and sweeping panoramic views of the rolling plains and the iconic Mount Kilimanjaro from Observation Hill.
Visitors can look forward to spotting the Big Five in this UNESCO-Mab Biosphere Reserve, as well as a plethora of other wildlife such as buffalo, hippo, giraffe, elephant, lion and cheetah and a variety of birdlife. Visit a Maasai village to experience authentic culture and traditions, spend some time tracking wildlife with expert local rangers, and encounter the vast herds of plains game.
Located in southwestern Kenya, Tsavo National Park is the country’s largest park and one of the world’s largest wildlife sanctuaries. It is split in two: Tsavo East and Tsavo West. Famed for its enthralling landscapes and large herds of elephants and buffalo, visitors can look forward to exploring pristine landscapes offering spectacular photographic opportunities.
The Tsavo East National Park is characterised by open plains scattered with baobabs, grasslands, acacia scrub and lush woodlands. Catch a glimpse of the red elephants of Tsavo – owing to the unique colour of the earth, and soak up the beauty of one of Africa’s last remaining
wilderness areas.
