4.Experience the Great Migration
One of the greatest wildlife spectacles on the planet takes place in Kenya every year when over a million wildebeest and zebras cross into the Maasai Mara during the Great Migration.
Watching thousands of animals brave crocodile-filled rivers and predators in pursuit of greener pastures is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It is one of the signature highlights of Kenya's wildlife calendar and attracts travellers from all over the world.
“We came for the wildlife and left planning a return for the locals and the coastline.”

13.Before you book
How many days do I need for a first trip? expand_more
Seven days covers a classic safari circuit; ten adds the coast. Fewer than five means choosing one region and doing it well.
Is Kenya good for families? expand_more
One of the best on the continent - short travel distances, flexible lodges, and wildlife that appears on schedule for children's short attention spans.
Safari or beach — which first? expand_more
Safari first, beach afterwards — early game drive mornings are easier before you've settled into Diani's rhythm, and the ocean is the ideal place to reflect on what you've seen.
