Kenya is the undisputed birthplace of the photographic safari. The Great Rift Valley and snow-covered peaks of Mt. Kenya form a remarkable backdrop to acacia dotted savannah, where all the Big Five thrive and cheetah and plains game roam.
Many of our clients are first inspired to take a Kenyan safari having heard stories of the Great Migration. But watching the great herds parade, stampede and plunge into crocodile infested waters in their thousands for yourself is an incomparable experience.
Kenya occupies an expansive and varied terrain, overlying the East African Rift between Lakes Victoria and Turkana. The wealth of activities on offer is similarly diverse, from unforgettable days spent tracking black rhino from Saruni Rhino, to stargazing on the vast Loisaba Conservancy.
The BBC’s Big Cat Diary was a blockbuster of a wildlife documentary, and it was shot entirely in Kenya’s Masai Mara. There’s no better place in East Africa to spot lion, leopard, and cheetah, and particularly in the private reserves bordering the park, you can get remarkably close.
When you visit the Masai Mara, you will be a guest of the Maasai: this is unequivocally their land. You will find the Maasai people gracious hosts, and will have ample opportunity to learn about their rich cultural heritage.
