Safaris in Kenya
Kenya is favoured by family groups and seasoned travellers who know where to find some of Africa’s best
East Africa’s traditional favourite had its heyday in the 70’s and 80’s as the simple choice for first-timers on safari in Africa. Great minibus convoys from large hotels removed the sparkle for some time as unsuspecting punters ran with the herds. In more recent times popularity has been dented by some misfortune. Kenya has a mature safari industry with excellent infrastructure and some well-seasoned outfitters taking exceptional care of their guests.
In truth – Kenya is very firmly placed on our safari map!
It’s favoured by seasoned travellers and remains ideal for newbies. You’ll find prolific game, warm welcoming people and a simply outstanding selection of small camps and lodges with amazing weather to boot.
The Masai Mara, the country’s most visited national reserve remains famous for its vast, open plains and the annual migration between July and October.
Amboseli is a short hop from Nairobi. It’s a favourite amongst photographers world over for its elephants and full-frame views over plains to Kilimanjaro.
The Laikipia, Meru and the Northern Frontier District have been a reasonably well kept secret for decades. This is where aficionados, luxury-seekers, wild-adventurers and closely knit families and circles of friends find some of the best safari holidays on the continent.
The popular coastal haunts have centred around the large resorts of Mombasa in the south. The northern stretches offer world-class sport fishing at Malindi, unspoiled Swahili culture with quiet and outstanding beach breaks in the Lamu Archipelago.
