Kenya is the spiritual home of the African safari, a land of sweeping savannahs, snow-capped Mount Kenya and the legendary Maasai Mara. Each year the Great Migration thunders across the Mara's plains, as over a million wildebeest and zebra brave the crocodile-filled rivers in nature's greatest spectacle. Beyond the Mara lie the elephant herds of Amboseli beneath Mount Kilimanjaro, the flamingo-pink lakes of the Rift Valley and the rich culture of the Maasai people. From thrilling game drives and hot-air balloon flights to authentic cultural encounters, Kenya delivers timeless safari romance and extraordinary wildlife at every turn. The best time to visit is July to October, when the Great Migration reaches the Maasai Mara and the dry weather brings superb game viewing.
