From the Mara's grasslands to Amboseli's elephant herds and the northern frontier — Kenya, our way.
Kenya is the original safari destination, and it still sets the standard. The Maasai Mara is the most productive patch of ground for big cats on the continent. Amboseli pairs resident elephant herds with a view of Kilimanjaro. Laikipia and Samburu open up the north — drier, wilder, less travelled.
Most of our Kenyan itineraries start in Nairobi and flight-hop between parks. That keeps drive days short and puts you in camp by lunch. We work with a mix of owner-run and classic camps — we avoid the big wheel operators.
A northern extension of the Serengeti. Lion density unmatched. From August the migration herds spill over the Mara River.
Elephant country framed by Kilimanjaro. The swamps keep wildlife concentrated year-round.
Community conservancies north of Mount Kenya. Walking safaris, Grevy's zebra and reticulated giraffe.
A Swahili archipelago off the northern coast. A slower, older finish after the plains.
Open savannah of the northern Serengeti ecosystem — the migration crosses here between July and October.
Open Maasai Mara National Reserve →
Big-tusker elephants framed against Kilimanjaro's northern face, with pristine dry-season game viewing.
Open Amboseli National Park →
Semi-arid north, home to reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra and beisa oryx — the so-called Samburu Special Five.
Open Samburu National Reserve →
Rift Valley lake hemmed by acacia and yellow-fever trees, and one of the most reliable rhino sanctuaries in Kenya.
Open Lake Nakuru National Park →
Vast East and West parks either side of the Nairobi–Mombasa railway, with red-dusted elephants and lava flows.
Open Tsavo National Parks →
Private conservancies north of Mount Kenya — low-vehicle density, walking safaris and community-led conservation.
Open Laikipia Plateau →
A genuine wildlife park on the city's doorstep — lions, rhinos and the Nairobi skyline in one frame.
Open Nairobi National Park →
Africa's second-highest peak, with three-day treks to Point Lenana through glacial valleys and bamboo forest.
Open Mount Kenya →July through October is the Mara's peak — the migration herds arrive from the Serengeti. January–February is a dry, warm window with fewer visitors and excellent resident game.

We nearly always recommend the conservancies (Olare Motorogi, Mara North, Naboisho). Vehicle density is capped, walking and night drives are permitted, and the game is often better.
Yes — it has the widest range of parks, the shortest flights between them, and the most established guiding standards. Most first-time safari clients start here.
We don't recommend it. A trained guide dramatically improves what you actually see, and the drive roads inside parks aren't always intuitive.
Kenya flies you between parks; Tanzania drives you. Kenya's conservancies are better regulated; Tanzania's Serengeti is bigger and wilder. For a two-week trip we sometimes combine the two.
