Where safari was born.
Where the concept of “safari” began, tourism in Kenya is well developed, however you won’t find yourself having to share the wildlife or views with crowds or queues, if you know where to book.
The game is abundant in Kenya. Every year over 1.5 million wildebeests cross the rich grasslands of the Masai Mara, followed closely by their predators – the big cats, jackals and hyenas. Great herds of elephant trundle across the wide-open plains of Amboseli National Park, in Kenya’s Rift Valley, while massive flocks of flamingo are drawn to the shallow, salty Lake Naivasha.
From the sheer scale of the 20,000 square kilometer Tsavo National Parks near the Tanzanian border, to small private wildlife sanctuaries on the Laikipia Plateau at the edge of the wild north country, Kenya safaris offer magnificent landscapes and wildlife.
There are almost as many ways to discover Kenya’s wildlife, as there are species to be discovered. Trek by jeep, mountain bike, horse, camel or on foot, or float across the plains in a hot air balloon. Sleep out in the wild, indulge yourself at luxury private lodges or stay in local Masai or Samburu villages. The choices are all yours.

MASAI MARA
KENYA
In the southwest of Kenya, is one of Africa’s most iconic and revered safari destinations – the Masai Mara. Covering an area of approximately 1,510 square kilometers, this vast savannah ecosystem forms part of the larger Serengeti-Mara ecosystem, famous for the annual Great Migration.
The Masai Mara is home the Big Five along with cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, and various antelope species. The park’s rolling grasslands, dotted with acacia trees and seasonal rivers, provide a picturesque backdrop.
As Tanzania and Kenya are neighbors, travelers on a Kenya safari will also have the opportunity to witness the Great Migration, a natural spectacle where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse the plains in search of fresh grazing grounds. Witness dramatic river crossings, where animals brave crocodile-infested waters in their quest for greener pastures.
TSAVO
KENYA
Divided into Tsavo East and Tsavo West, is one of Kenya’s largest and oldest national parks, covering a vast expanse of over 20,000 square kilometers. In the southeast of Kenya, Tsavo is famed for its striking landscapes, wildlife – and rich cultural heritage.
Tsavo East National Park is characterized vast open plains, sprinkled with baobab trees and rocky outcrops. The park is home elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, and numerous birds.
Tsavo West National Park, on the other hand, is known for its rugged terrain, volcanic landscapes, and varied habitats. The park is home to the iconic Mzima Springs, a series of natural springs that attract hippos, crocodiles, and bird life. Other highlights of Tsavo West include the Shetani Lava Flows, the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary, and the stunning views from the Chyulu Hills.
LEWA
KENYA
Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, nestled in the heart of northern Kenya, is a pioneering model of conservation excellence and community development. Spanning over 65,000 acres, Lewa is famed for its successful efforts in protecting endangered species and fostering harmonious coexistence between wildlife and local communities.
Home to the iconic Big Five, Lewa is particularly celebrated for its conservation of both black and white rhinos, making it a stronghold for these critically endangered species. Game drives, guided walks, and even horseback safaris await travelers to Lewa.
With its dedication to conservation, community engagement, and sustainable tourism practices, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy stands as a beacon of hope for wildlife conservation and a shining example of the positive impact that can be achieved through collaborative efforts.

KENYAN HIGHLIGHTS SAFARI
13 days and 12 nights exploring the must-do reserves in Kenya.
You’ll begin in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital city, to acclimate and settle in before you head off into the bush.
Starting in northern Kenya, you’ll spend a few nights within the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. It has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and serves as an important sanctuary for a large selection of wildlife including the endangered black rhino as well as the white rhino.
Next, you’ll head further north to Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy, run by the local Samburu community who live in close harmony with the land, plants, and animals. The landscapes here have slowly welcomed back several threatened animal species including Grevy’s zebra, De Brazza colobus monkey, reticulated giraffe, and wild dog.
Your final safari stop is the Masai Mara National Reserve, where undoubtedly the annual wildebeest migration is a large draw. The largest mass movement of land mammals on the planet – with more than a million animals following the rains.
Finish your trip with a bit of beach, hopping over to Tanzania’s beautiful island Zanzibar.
