Kenya National Parks
Masai Mara
Why go on a Masai Mara Safari? Simply stated, it is the best destination in Kenya for viewing wildlife - and lots of it! The Masai Mara is home to a great wildlife spectacle.
Amboseli
As Amboseli is easily accessible, it forms a popular part of many of our safari itineraries. Amboseli is one of the smaller game parks in Kenya and the vegetation ensures that the animals are easy to spot.
Mount Kenya
Experience a Mount Kenya safari and discover Africa 's second highest mountain. With a summit covered in snow and ice it's difficult to imagine that it's situated astride the equator!
Great Rift Valley
While on a Great Rift Valley Safari, you visit one of the wonders of the world. The valley forms a wide trench down the length of Africa that is visible from the moon.
Aberdares
With a mountain range running through the Aberdares you'll find moorland, ice-cold streams and thick forests. This mountainous area has been described as 'Scotland with Lions'.
Nairobi
Stay in Nairobi and you'll find a town full of hustle and bustle, street hawkers, overflowing taxis, and probably some of the most unconventional driving in the world!
Samburu
Samburu is home to large herds of elephants and elusive leopards. It is also well known for providing the opportunity to see wildlife that only lives in the dry north of Kenya.
Tsavo
Tsavo is the ideal destination for people who seek solitude and privacy as well as the chance to explore the wilderness. With its proximity to Mombasa it is also an ideal safari for those staying on the coast.
Kenya Beaches
Kenya has some beautiful beaches. Imagine brilliant blue water lapping against fine white sands, where you can stretch and chill out.
