Why Kenya Is One of Africa’s Best Safari Destinations
SAFARI HOLIDAYS IN KENYA
Planning a Kenya safari is an exciting experience, with an incredible choice of wildlife reserves, landscapes and places to stay. From the world-famous Masai Mara to Amboseli, Samburu and the Great Rift Valley, Kenya offers outstanding game viewing and a wonderful variety of safari experiences. Whether it is your first safari or a return visit to Africa, here are some of the reasons Kenya remains one of Africa’s most rewarding safari destinations.
WHY CHOOSE KENYA FOR A SAFARI?
Kenya is often described as the home of the classic African safari. Its famous national parks, reserves and conservancies offer exceptional wildlife viewing in wonderfully varied landscapes. From the Big Five and vast savannah plains to dramatic mountains, forests, lakes and the beautiful Indian Ocean coastline, Kenya offers remarkable diversity within a single destination. Each safari region has its own character, making it easy to create an itinerary combining wildlife, scenery, culture and time on the beach.
Kenya offers outstanding opportunities to see wildlife in its natural habitat, from elephants and giraffes to lions, cheetahs and zebra. With an experienced guide and carefully planned itinerary, each safari offers the chance to enjoy memorable wildlife encounters in some of Africa’s most remarkable landscapes.
THE GREAT MIGRATION
The Great Migration is one of Africa’s most spectacular wildlife experiences. Each year, vast herds of wildebeest, accompanied by zebra and gazelle, move through the Serengeti and Masai Mara in search of fresh grazing. Between approximately July and October, herds may cross the Mara River, creating some of the most dramatic wildlife encounters in East Africa.
Although river crossings can never be guaranteed, witnessing the migration in the Masai Mara is an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of a Kenya safari.
ADVENTURE AT ITS FINEST
Kenya offers far more than exceptional wildlife viewing. From the sweeping landscapes of the Masai Mara and the dramatic scenery of the Great Rift Valley to the white-sand beaches of the Indian Ocean, it is a wonderfully varied destination.
Kenya is also an excellent choice for families. Many safari camps and lodges welcome children and offer activities designed to introduce younger travellers to wildlife, conservation and the natural environment.
