Who is a Kenya safari best suited to?
First-time visitors, couples, honeymooners and families alike. Kenya offers every type of traveller the right mix of adventure, infrastructure and relaxed nature experiences.
What exactly are Africa’s Big Five?
The Big Five are the lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino. The term originally comes from big-game hunters.
What happens during the Great Migration?
From around late July to mid-October, millions of wildebeest and zebras move from the Serengeti into the Masai Mara. The river crossings are a world-famous natural spectacle.
Can a safari easily be combined with a beach holiday?
Yes, that’s one of Kenya’s greatest strengths. Parks near the coast, such as Tsavo East or Shimba Hills, combine perfectly with beaches like Diani Beach.
