Kenya is the birthplace of the African safari, home to the iconic Maasai Mara, snow-capped Mount Kenya, and a vibrant coast along the Indian Ocean. Its diverse ecosystems host the Big Five and the annual Great Migration river crossings.
“With over 50 national parks and reserves protecting 8% of its total land area, Kenya offers everything from savanna plains to montane forests, flamingo-covered soda lakes, and tropical reef systems. Nairobi is East Africa's economic hub and the world's only capital city with a national park within its borders.”
July to October provides optimal conditions for the Great Migration in Masai Mara and excellent wildlife viewing nationwide. January to February offers great weather, active birdlife, and lower tourist numbers. Kenya's diverse regions ensure excellent experiences year-round.
