Destinations

Kenya

The Masai Mara, private conservancies and one of the great wildlife spectacles on earth.

Why Visit

Kenya is our most recommended African safari destination for first-time visitors. The Masai Mara is consistently exceptional, the private conservancies offer uncrowded, intimate wildlife experiences, and the combination with a beach stay is logistically clean.

Best Time to Go

July to October for the Great Migration crossing. January to March for quieter conditions and newborn animals.

Suggested Pace

A minimum of four nights in the Mara or conservancies. Combining with two to three nights on the Kenyan coast adds variety without overcomplicating logistics.

Our Thoughts

Our View on Kenya

Kenya is exceptional for families with children over eight years old. The private conservancies adjacent to the Mara offer a fundamentally different experience to the main reserve — fewer vehicles, better guiding.
