Kenya is the cradle of safaris; follow the dust of the herds as they cross the savannas and experience the vastness of nature.
Explore the breathtaking safari areas of Kenya, including Masai Mara, Amboseli, Laikipia, and Samburu. Admire an abundance of wildlife during your safari in Kenya. In Nairobi, visit the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and Giraffe Manor.
Masai Mara is renowned for the spectacular migration between June and August, when millions of animals cross the border from Tanzania to Kenya. The famous ‘wildebeest migration’ offers an unforgettable experience. Outside this period, Masai Mara is also worth visiting. It is much quieter, and the big cats are there throughout the year.
Combine your tailor-made trip with a visit to Tanzania or a gorilla trekking experience.
The most beautiful safari area of Kenya
Masai Mara
Driving across the vast plains, you see dust clouds rising in the distance. Thousands of animals gather at the river. Tension builds, and then the first one jumps into the water.
During the migration in the Masai Mara, millions of wildebeests, zebras, and Thomson’s gazelles cross the Mara River. It is a beautiful and sometimes dramatic spectacle that provides nature enthusiasts with the ultimate safari experience. It is not always easy to witness a perfect crossing; patience and a bit of luck are required. If you come especially for these “Mara crossings,” consider staying in the area for a longer duration.
In addition to these large herds, there are “big cats” present in the Mara throughout the year: lions, cheetahs, and leopards. All the ingredients for a fantastic safari experience.
Kenya offers unique opportunities for your tailor made safari.
