The Kenya Destination Guide is now LIVE!
Kenya is one of the world's premier wildlife destinations - Safari as we know it did begin here after all! The Maasai Mara is the most famous destination thanks. It sees some of the most exciting action of the annual Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra, especially as they cross the steep-sided Mara River with crocodiles and danger waiting in its waters. The dense populations of Big Five animals and Big Cats also make the Mara a top choice for documentary filmmakers and safari-goers alike.
Beyond the Mara, Kenya has plenty of other parks and reserves to explore. Amboseli sits in the shadow of Kilimanjaro and is home to some of Africa's most impressive elephants (and photo opportunities). At Lake Nakuru, you'll find hundreds of species of birds, most famously the vast flocks of flamingos that congregate on the lake. In and near Laikipia you'll find a series of conservancies, including Ol Pejeta, Lewa, and Solio, that are known for protecting endangered rhinos. In Samburu, you can check off a special "Samburu Five." At Lake Turkana, you can see the world's biggest population of Nile Crocodiles. At Watamu Marine Park, you can dive among vibrant coral reefs with the endangered green turtle. The list truly does go on.
Beyond wonderful wildlife watching and captivating scenery, Tanzania is filled with human history. Here you can experience the culture of local tribes like the Maasai or the Samburu. You'll also find seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites ranging from the Sacred Mijikenda Kaya Forests to the oldest Swahili settlement at Lamu's Old Town to sites from the 16th century (Fort Jesus and Thimlich Ohinga).
From the epic wildlife sightings and journeys across sweeping landscapes to the more understated moments conversing with warm, genuine hosts or simply enjoying the sounds of nature, Kenya is a magical place to visit. Just be careful, it only takes one trip to get hooked.
