East Africa's iconic safari destination, defined by vast savannahs, dramatic escarpments and wildlife spectacles that created the modern image of 'safari'.

Kenya's parks are legendary:

• Maasai Mara National Reserve: World-famous for the Great Migration, abundant big cats and endless plains.
• Amboseli National Park: Iconic elephant herds with Mount Kilimanjaro as backdrop.
• Tsavo East & West: Huge wilderness of red elephants, lava flows and rugged escarpments.
• Samburu National Reserve: Home to the rare “Samburu Special Five” (Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich, gerenuk).
• Private conservancies provide exclusive, low-impact experiences where vehicles are limited, where you can off-road and where community conservation is at the core. Private areas typically offer superior game viewing, night drives and walking safaris.

Kenya is a year-round destination

• Dry seasons (Jan - Feb & Jun - Oct): Prime wildlife viewing; animals gather at water sources, roads are good, skies clear.
• Long rains (Mar - May): Lush greenery, fewer crowds, great photography; some remote camps close.
• Short rains (Nov - Dec): Brief showers, fresh landscapes, strong wildlife sightings.

The Great Migration reaches the Maasai Mara roughly July - October (exact dates vary with rain).

Most visitors fly into Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. Light-aircraft flights from Wilson Airport connect directly to safari airstrips. Overland travel in 4x4 vehicles with driver-guides is scenic but can be slow and road conditions can vary.
