Kenya
Overview
A cauldron of sweeping scenery, teeming wildlife, thrilling adventure, exotic tropical beaches, and ancient landscapes dating back to early humankind, Kenya ranks as one of Africa’s top wildlife countries within the East African Region that includes Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda as African safari destinations. The Rich tribal diversity, the fascinating people such as the Masai from an integral part and a colorful backdrop for the Safari holiday of a lifetime within Kenya.
The Masai Mara Plains host the spectacular migration of more than 1.3 million wildebeest, along with hundreds of thousands of zebra and gazelle, as they initiate the great annual trek to greener pastures in Serengeti, Tanzania.
Experience the raw Wilderness of Laikipia while escorted by a traditional Maasai or Samburu guide and revel in the opportunity to view black and white rhinos as you photograph some of Africa’s most iconic wildlife animals, such as the giraffe and elephants, against the visually stunning backdrop of the majestic snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli National Park.

When to go
Kenya is a year-round destination. The dry seasons (June–October and January–February) offer the best game viewing, with the Great Migration's Mara River crossings unfolding roughly July–October peak season, so higher prices and more crowds. January–February is a warm, dry sweet spot with calving season, great predator action, and fewer visitors. The long rains (March–May) bring lush landscapes, superb birding, and the lowest prices, though roads get muddy. The short rains (November–December) are lighter, with refreshed plains and quieter camps. Choose July–October for the migration, January–February for value, or the green months for solitude.
