Kenya

Maasai mara SunsetKenya is, without doubt, a stunningly beautiful country. From the bleached sands of the eastern coast lapped by the aquamarine waters of the Indian Ocean to the primitive aridity of little-visited Turkana, Kenya offers a wonderful variety of landscape, a people that are utterly charming and friendly, a rich and fascinating culture and, of course, fabulous wildlife. The picture many have of Africa, that of golden savannah dotted with game and studded with flat-topped umbrella acacias is actually the landscape of Kenya. It has featured in so many Hollywood movies and wildlife films that it is embedded in our psyches as the real Africa. This is the land of the classic safari and luxurious lodges, the land of wide blue skies and the land of enchantment.

The Masai Mara, Kenya’s most popular game reserve, offers fantastic all-year-round game viewing in this most African of landscapes. The wide rolling plains allow you to find both variety and numbers of animals easily. In addition, the Mara shares the Migration with the Serengeti. Almost two million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle start from the southern Serengeti in May, arriving in the Masai Mara from late June. This is one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on earth and no one who has seen it will ever forget the heart-stopping excitement of a wildebeest river crossing or the sight of the grasslands of the Mara turned dark by the sheer volume of beasts.
