Kenya
Kenya combines the iconic Maasai Mara with extraordinary diversity of wildlife, landscape and cultural experience across the Great Rift Valley, the Indian Ocean coast and the unique ecosystems of Amboseli, Tsavo and Samburu. From the wildebeest migration and big five game viewing to the beaches of Diani and the vibrant city of Nairobi, Kenya delivers a complete African experience.
Elect's take
"Kenya is the definitive East African safari destination. The Maasai Mara is extraordinary but the country offers so much more and every region rewards exploration with something genuinely remarkable."
The Maasai Mara is one of the world's great wildlife destinations. The annual wildebeest migration from July to October when over a million animals cross from Tanzania is one of the most spectacular natural events on Earth. Amboseli provides outstanding elephant encounters with Kilimanjaro as a backdrop. Nairobi is a more interesting city than its reputation suggests with excellent restaurants, art galleries and direct proximity to Nairobi National Park. The Kenyan coast around Diani provides excellent beach experiences to combine with safari.
