Kenya

Kenya, breathtaking landscapes, cultures and wildlife.

Kenya, located in East Africa along the Indian Ocean, boasts diverse landscapes—from savannahs and lakes to the Great Rift Valley and highlands—and is home to abundant wildlife, including lions, elephants, and rhinos. Safari-goers travel from Nairobi to iconic reserves like the Masai Mara (famous for the annual wildebeest migration) and Amboseli (with stunning views of Mt. Kilimanjaro), making Kenya a perfect year-round safari-and-beach destination. From July to October, the Masai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo, and the Chyulu Hills offer exceptional game viewing, including the legendary Big Five.
