Few places can rival Kenya for the safari experience, and few sights are more impressive than the Great Migration, the annual movement of more than two million wildebeest, zebra and other grazing herbivores across the fertile grasslands of the Masai Mara, which in turn provide the protein for leopards, cheetahs and vast prides of lions. Whether viewed from the back of a safari jeep, the basket of a hot-air balloon or on foot with a Maasai warrior, Kenya’s legendary game reserve neve fails to disappoint.
Amboseli National Park offers visitors an unrivalled combination of stunning scenery alongside prolific game viewing, while nearby Chyulu Hills is an oasis of green rising above the plains of southern Kenya.
Set against the backdrop of majestic Mount Kenya, Laikipia encapsulates so much of what is good about modern conservation and offers some of the best wildlife viewing in the country.
Located within reach of Nairobi, lakes Naivasha and Nakuru are two of the best-known lakes in the Great Rift Valley. Visit the former home of Born Free personality Joy Adamson on the shores of Lake Naivasha, then spot tree-climbing lions, black and white rhinos and clouds of pink flamingos in Nakuru National Park.
One of Kenya’s oldest and most beloved safari destinations, the Masai Mara needs no introduction.
Wild, remote and gloriously crowd free, Meru National Park is one of Kenya’s best-kept secrets.
With fabulous national parks on its doorstep, Nairobi is often viewed as a stepping-stone to Kenya’s wildlife attractions, yet there is more to this city than meets the eye.
Located in Kenya’s North Eastern Province, this stark and rugged expanse is dominated by a collection of semi-desert landscapes that while seemingly barren play host to an abundance of interesting wildlife.
A world away from the savannas of safari country, the sandy beaches of the Kenyan coast give way to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, home to dolphins, turtles and some of Kenya's best dive sites.
Home to brick-red elephants and a good mix of predators, the vast national parks of Tsavo East and Tsavo West comprise one of the largest expanses of wilderness in Kenya, around 15 times larger than the Masai Mara.
