Kenya is the original safari destination. Home of the famous Masai Mara, the country has a decades-long history as the place to see the Big 5 and the annual wildebeest migration. Here you can have the real Out of Africa experience.
Alternatively, a Kenya safari could take you north to Samburu, with its arid thornveld and incredible leopard sightings, or to Amboseli, with its stunning views of Kilimanjaro, or even to the picture-perfect beaches on the Indian Ocean coast.
