Safari in Kenya

Masai Mara National Reserve Kenya’s finest and most famous wildlife destination. The northern extension of Tanzania’s Serengeti ecosystem, the Masai Mara is where the Great Wildebeest Migration crosses into Kenya between July and October — an event of staggering scale and drama. Year-round, the Mara supports extraordinary lion populations, large elephant herds, and some of Africa’s finest cheetah viewing. Stay in a luxury tented camp in the Mara Triangle or one of the private conservancies bordering the reserve for the most exclusive experience.

Amboseli National Park is framed by the snow-capped summit of Kilimanjaro rising across the border in Tanzania, Amboseli’s landscapes are among the most photographically compelling in Africa. The park is famous for large, relaxed herds of elephant — some of the most studied and photographed elephants in the world — and for the extraordinary backdrop they provide against Africa’s highest peak.

Samburu National Reserve North of the equator and a world apart from the southern savanna, Samburu is Kenya’s most distinctive safari destination. Here you will find species found nowhere else in the region: Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, and gerenuk. Wild dog, cheetah, leopard, and lion are also present. An extraordinary addition for any traveller seeking something genuinely different.

Lake Nakuru National Park Famous for vast flamingo flocks that historically turned the lake pink from the air, Lake Nakuru is also a critical sanctuary for both black and white rhinoceros — making it one of Kenya’s finest Big Five destinations. Rothschild’s giraffe, lion, leopard, and large waterbuck herds add to an impressive species list.

Hell’s Gate National Park unique in Kenya for allowing cycling and walking without an armed ranger, Hell’s Gate’s dramatic volcanic landscape provides a different kind of safari experience. The gorges, geothermal activity, and abundant wildlife make it a popular destination for families and active travelers.
