Kenya Safari Holiday

Kenya is where it all began: home to the original safari holiday and still one of the most popular destinations for safaris in the world.

Famous not only for its 'Out of Africa' scenic beauty, diverse cultures and abundant wildlife, Kenya also boasts superb footprint-free beaches and warm tropical waters, thus ensuring a complete Kenya safari holiday experience.

Above all it's the wildlife that attracts the safari traveller to some Africa's best-known national parks, including the Masai Mara, Tsavo, Amboseli, and Lake Nakuru. - and naturally it's the incredible Great Wildebeest Migration that is the biggest attraction of them all.

The ebb and flow of hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti in Tanzania, to Kenya's Masai Mara and back is a phenomenal, once-in-a-lifetime sight - and well worth the effort to witness it.

Timing your trip to coincide with the migration is important - the exact moment when the herds pass through a specific area depends on highly unpredictable factors such as when the rains fall. For more details about how to time your safari holiday with the migration, see our migration month-by-month guide.

But rest assured, even if you don't have the luxury of time to play with, your game viewing experiences on a Kenya safari holiday will be rich and varied at any time of the year - read more about when to go to Kenya here.
