Kenya

At its heart lies the iconic Maasai Mara National Reserve, where the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras unfolds against the backdrop of sweeping savannahs. Here, visitors can witness the raw drama of predator and prey in action, while hot air balloon safaris offer a bird’s-eye view of the majestic landscape.

Beyond the Mara, Kenya’s diverse ecosystems beckon adventurers: Amboseli National Park, with its breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro and herds of elephants; the rugged landscapes of Tsavo National Park, home to lions, rhinos, and elephants; and the serene shores of Lake Nakuru, a haven for flamingos and other birdlife.

For those seeking encounters with endangered species, the Ol Pejeta Conservancy provides sanctuary to rhinos and chimpanzees, while the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust offers a chance to meet orphaned elephants up close. Away from the wilderness, Kenya’s cultural tapestry weaves a compelling narrative, from the vibrant markets of Nairobi to the traditional villages of the Maasai and Samburu tribes. With its blend of natural wonders and cultural heritage, Kenya promises an unforgettable journey into the heart of Africa.
