Destinations
Kenya
Safari means “journey” in Swahili, and Kenya is the birthplace of safaris. Resting in the magnificent Great Rift Valley and presided over by the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro (situated in Tanzania), Kenya is characterised by hauntingly beautiful natural landscapes of forested hills, patchwork farms, wooded savanna and vast forests brimming with an extraordinary abundance of wildlife.
The architecture and food, integrate Arabic and Indian flavours making it a sensory feast. Add to this: an exquisite tropical coastline fringed with breath-taking golden sand beaches; gorgeous coral gardens providing excellent snorkelling and diving opportunities; and a slew of luxury beach resorts, and it is easy to see why so many visitors flock here from around the world to experience a truly unique African adventure in one of the world’s most pristine safari destinations.
Undoubtedly, the biggest attraction to the country is the great migration in the legendary Masai Mara. Millions of animals, wildebeest, zebra and gazelle partake in an annual migration between the Masai Mara and the Serengeti (Tanzania), with the best time for viewing this being between July and October. As a country of diversity and contrast, it also has an array of National Parks. These include Tsavo National Park, the Masai Mara, Amboseli, Laikipia Plateau and Lake Nakuru.
We recommend combining beach and bush, with the annual migration and perhaps some yoga on the beaches of Lamu or Watamu.
