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.

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.

Ask a question →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.
