Kenya

Safari Capital of the World

Why Visit Kenya?

Kenya is the birthplace of the African safari — a land of sweeping savannahs, snow-capped equatorial peaks, and the world's greatest wildlife spectacle. The Maasai Mara National Reserve hosts the dramatic Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest cross the crocodile-infested Mara River in a primal drama that has unfolded for millennia. Beyond the Mara, Kenya offers extraordinary diversity: the flamingo-pink shores of Lake Nakuru, the elephant paradise of Amboseli with Kilimanjaro as a backdrop, the pristine beaches of Diani, and the vibrant cosmopolitan energy of Nairobi.
