Kenya’s greatest safari destinations

Each landscape tells a different story. Masai Mara for big cats and the Great Migration; Amboseli for elephants beneath Kilimanjaro; Samburu for rare northern species and culture; Laikipia for conservation and rhino tracking; Tsavo for vast wilderness; Lake Nakuru for flamingos and rhino; and the Coast for a barefoot-luxury finale.

Choosing your destinations — FAQs

What is the best safari destination in Kenya?

The Masai Mara is Kenya’s most famous destination for big cats and the Great Migration, but Amboseli, Samburu and Laikipia are all outstanding and often combined.

When is the best time to visit the Masai Mara?

The Mara is excellent year-round, but the Great Migration river crossings are seen from July to October, while the green season offers lush scenery and fewer visitors.
