Kenya

Every landscape
tells a different
story.

Kenya contains multitudes — from the ancient drama of the Mara crossing to the silent precision of a black rhino at Lewa, from flamingo-pink rift valley lakes to the snow-capped summit of Mount Kenya. We know every one of these places intimately.

The Classic

Maasai Mara
National Reserve

The most iconic safari destination in Africa. From July to October, 1.5 million wildebeest follow a route encoded in their DNA, crossing the crocodile-patrolled Mara River in scenes that have made this place legendary. The Mara rewards year-round with resident big cats, elephants, and surrounding private conservancies.

Kenya's Northern Frontier

Laikipia Plateau

At 1,700 metres above sea level, the Laikipia Plateau stretches north from the foot of Mount Kenya across 800,000 hectares of conservancies — harbouring more endangered wildlife than anywhere else in East Africa. This is the only region in Kenya where wildlife numbers have increased over the last 25 years.

Home to Africa's largest black rhino populations outside national parks, the world's last two northern white rhinos, 350+ Grevy's zebra, African wild dog, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx — and activities far beyond game drives: camel trekking, horseback safaris, night drives, fly-camping, and open-cockpit biplane flights.

Northern Kenya

Samburu
National Reserve

Set along the Ewaso Ng'iro River in Kenya's arid north, Samburu offers a safari fundamentally different from the Mara. Here you seek the "Samburu Special Five" found nowhere else: the reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, Beisa oryx, long-necked gerenuk, and Somali ostrich. The indigenous Samburu people offer extraordinary cultural encounters.

Amboseli
National Park

There is no image in Kenya photography more iconic than a tusker against the snow of Kilimanjaro — Africa's highest peak rising 5,895m across the Tanzanian border. Over 900 free-roaming elephants call the park home, and the open, compact landscape makes for some of the most intimate elephant encounters on the continent. Permanent swamps fed by Kilimanjaro's underground streams attract lion, cheetah, Maasai giraffe, and over 400 bird species.

Tsavo East &
Tsavo West

Together Kenya's largest national park — 22,000km² of wilderness. Tsavo East is famous for its "red elephants" stained the colour of iron-rich laterite soil, their great herds moving through flat bush-dotted plains in a spectacle unlike the Mara. Tsavo West is more dramatic, with lava flows, volcanic hills, and the spectacular Mzima Springs — clear pools where hippos and crocodiles live in extraordinary visibility.

Flamingos turning Lake Bogoria pink in Kenya's Great Rift Valley
Great Rift Valley

Lake Bogoria
& Lake Nakuru

Lake Bogoria — a UNESCO Ramsar Wetland — is a geothermal alkaline lake ringed by hot springs and geysers, home to up to two million lesser flamingos. The lake turns entirely pink. Nothing prepares you for it. Lake Nakuru shelters both white and black rhino, Rothschild's giraffe, lion, and leopard. Both combine perfectly with the Mara or a Laikipia circuit.
