KENYA
Where safari's incredible journey began...
In the beginning was Kenya... It's where the whole thing started - the traditional home of what we now know as safari, a humble Swahili word that means "journey". It's the country that gave us "Out of Africa", fetching safari outfits and khaki fever and that continues to reign as one of Africa's best safari destinations.
Kenya is synonymous with the word "great". You have the Masai Mara and the spectacular Great Migration that sees around a million wildebeest cross the Mara River in search of fresh grazing. You have the Great Rift Valley where two of the planet's tectonic plates diverge and mountains are torn asunder. And you have the Great Lakes where flamingos explode in clouds of perfect pink.
It's where you get sensational views of Africa's highest mountain - the iconic Kilimanjaro - even though it's located in neighbouring Tanzania! It's simply irrestistible to any self-respecting safari addict with its incredible landscapes, phenomenal wildlife and wonderful people offering rich cultural encounters.
To top it off, Kenya's beautiful Indian Ocean coastline has some of the most picture-perfect white sand beaches and thriving coral reefs in Africa, meaning that you can effortlessly combine the bush and the beach in one seriously sensual safari!
