Kenya Safari Destinations

Masai Mara National Reserve

The iconic Masai Mara National Reserve is the most famous reserve in the world and an incredible destination for a wildlife safari. It’s renowned for hosting the Big Five, lion, leopard, Cape buffalo, elephant, and rhino, and for the Great Wildebeest Migration, an annual journey in which millions of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle cross from the Serengeti into the plains of the Masai Mara in search of water and fresh grazing.

Amboseli National Park

Known as the “home of the African elephant,” Amboseli National Park is one of Kenya’s finest wildlife destinations. The park has done extraordinary work to protect its elephants, and sightings here are all but guaranteed. Beyond the elephants, you’ll also find the rest of the Big Five, lion, leopard, buffalo, and rhino.

Ol Pejeta Conservancy

Ol Pejeta Conservancy, nestled in the heart of Laikipia at the foot of Mount Kenya, is home to the largest rhino population in the country, and to the last two remaining northern white rhinos in the world. The conservancy has developed into a genuine wildlife sanctuary and plays an important role in protecting endangered species.

Tsavo East & West National Park

Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks, located between Nairobi and Mombasa, together form one of the world’s largest wildlife sanctuaries, separated only by the highway. Tsavo East is known for its vast, open savannah, the Galana River, and its famous red elephants, while Tsavo West features mountainous, volcanic landscapes, dramatic scenery, Mzima Springs, and its own rhino sanctuary.

Kenya Safari Experiences

The Great Migration

Every year, more than two million wildebeest, alongside 200,000 zebra and gazelle, embark on an annual circular journey through the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem (Serengeti National Park and the Masai Mara National Reserve) in search of water and fresh grazing. The journey is triggered by seasonal rains, with the herds moving largely on instinct. Witness the life-and-death struggle for survival as the surging herds cross the swollen Mara River and attempt to outrun the predators their presence inevitably attracts.

Big Five Safari

Kenya is one of Africa’s best Big Five destinations, offering the chance to spot lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo in their natural habitat. Once named the most dangerous species to encounter by hunters, the legendary Big Five live on today in the modern photographic safari. Our expert, professional guides know just where to look, sharing the latest insight into these remarkable species and the challenges facing their survival in Kenya’s wilderness.

Balloon Safaris

Walking Safaris

Immerse yourself in nature on a walking safari through Kenya’s protected areas, including the Masai Mara National Reserve and Amboseli, bringing you closer to the smaller creatures that call Kenya home.

Beach Holiday

Kenya offers some of the finest beach holiday destinations in the world, with October to May offering the best weather. With iconic destinations such as Diani in the south and the Lamu Archipelago in the far north, Kenya’s coast makes for a perfect, idyllic extension to your safari adventure.

Birding Safaris

With more than 1,100 recorded bird species, including migratory species that arrive during the rainy season, and excellent national parks in which to see them, Kenya is a genuine paradise for birders seeking an avian-focused safari experience.

When to Go

Dry Season

The dry season is widely considered the best time to visit Kenya for wildlife viewing and other safari experiences. The weather is generally dry, with sunny days and cooler temperatures, making it comfortable for game drives and other outdoor activities. During this time, wildlife congregates around remaining water sources, making animals considerably easier to spot in the national parks and reserves. July to October is peak season for the Great Migration in the Masai Mara, when millions of wildebeest, alongside thousands of zebra and gazelle, move in search of water and fresh grazing, offering an incredible wildlife spectacle.

Short Dry Season

This period is another excellent time for wildlife viewing in Kenya, similar to the main dry season. It also marks the calving season for wildebeest in the Masai Mara, offering wonderful opportunities to see newborn animals.

Wet Season

The wet season consists of two main periods: the short rains from November to December, and the long rains from March to May. During this time, the landscape turns lush and green, providing a beautiful backdrop for photography, and birdwatching is excellent, with many migratory species present. Kenya safari prices are generally lower during the wet season too, and with fewer tourists around, it offers a more budget-friendly and less crowded experience.

Kenya’s diverse climate and geography offer unique experiences throughout the year, so it’s worth matching your travel dates to what matters most to you.
