Overview

Why Kenya

Kenya invented the safari, and its conservancies remain a benchmark for community-led tourism. The Maasai Mara is the northern continuation of the Serengeti — and the stage for the Mara River crossings.

Beyond the savanna, Mount Kenya, Lake Nakuru's flamingos, Samburu's reticulated giraffes, and Diani's white-sand beaches make Kenya one of the most varied African destinations.
