Kenya

Kenya is a land of colourful history, breathtaking landscapes, spectacular wildlife and rich cultural diversity. More than perhaps any other African country, Kenya embodies the classic image of Africa held in the imagination of travellers around the world.

​

Its vast golden plains, sweeping savannahs and iconic acacia-dotted horizons have come to define the traditional African safari, immortalised in the writings of Hemingway, Roosevelt, Finch Hatton and many others. It is here, across the great plains of the Maasai Mara and neighbouring Serengeti ecosystem, that many travellers encounter the Africa they have long dreamed of.

Beyond its legendary wildlife, Kenya is home to a remarkable variety of landscapes. From the dramatic escarpments of the Great Rift Valley and fertile highland plateaus to towering mountains and shimmering lakes, the country offers exceptional natural diversity within a relatively compact geography.

The Massai Mara is world-renowned for the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra, typically occurring between August and September. While the migration is one of Africa’s greatest wildlife spectacles, the game viewing in the Mara remains outstanding throughout the year.

Yet the Mara is only one part of Kenya’s extraordinary safari offering. Destinations such as Meru, Aberdare, Amboseli, Tsavo, Samburu, Mount Kenya, the Great Rift Valley, Lake Victoria and the coast around Mombasa each provide their own distinctive and unforgettable experience of East Africa.

Wherever you travel in Kenya, you will encounter dramatic scenery, abundant wildlife and the warmth, energy and vibrancy of its people.
