Kenya’s numerous game reserves and conservancies offer game viewing that is second to none. Whether you are looking to experience your first safari, or whether you are a hardy safari goer wishing to head off the beaten track – Kenya has something for everyone. The key is knowing where to go, to experience Kenya without the crowds. The Wildebeest Migration takes place in Kenya from July to October as the herds pass from the neighbouring Serengeti in Tanzania to the Masai Mara. We know the conservancies on the edge of the Masai Mara where you can see the Migration without a jam of 4×4’s, just a lone acacia tree posing in the background of the endless savannah. These conservancies, dotted around Kenya’s national parks and reserves, offer a way to bring the benefits of tourism to the local tribal community as well as encouraging wildlife conservation. Ask us about the best conservancies for your Kenya Safari Holiday. 

As well as traditional safari, Kenya is sliced down the middle by the Great Rift Valley. The valley is bordered by escarpments and broken by volcanoes and a series of lakes. The lakes just north-of Nairobi can be visited as an add-on to a safari and are particularly recommended for birders. Or you could climb the dormant Mount Kenya, the second highest mountain in Africa. Or head further north, off the beaten track, to Lake Turkana, the world’s largest desert lake, hailed by many anthropologists as the cradle of humankind due to the abundance of hominid fossils.

If you are just looking to relax or have some down time after your safari, Kenya’s gorgeous tropical coastline offers fantastic snorkelling & diving, superb fishing, a huge variety of watersports, swimming with dolphins and sunset dhow cruises. Head to Lamu for old buildings, no traffic and arab culture. Or place yourself on a deserted beach and just admire the view of white sandy beaches lapped by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.

As well as sights, encounters with the local tribespeople of Kenya can form a highlight of your Kenya holiday. Learn about the problems of leading a semi-nomadic Masai life in a modern world. Or about the Samburu god, Nkai, who is believed to dwell in beautiful mountains, large trees, caverns, and water springs. With over 40 different cultures, each with its own values, language, traditional dress and ways of life, these planned or unplanned interactions are a fascinating insight into Kenya’s true character.
