Kenya Safari Guide: Maasai Mara Migration, Amboseli Elephants & Nairobi Wildlife

Kenya is East Africa’s premier safari destination—featuring golden savannas, snow-capped Mount Kenya, and Indian Ocean beaches. With over 50 national parks and reserves, it hosts incredible biodiversity, from the Big Five to rare Grevy’s zebra. Warm temperatures year-round and distinct dry seasons (June–October, January–February) make Kenya ideal for wildlife viewing any time.

The Maasai Mara National Reserve is world-famous for the Great Migration—when over 2 million wildebeest and zebras flood the plains from July to October. Experience thrilling game drives spotting lions, cheetahs, and leopards in action, all set against sweeping acacia-dotted landscapes. This is where Kenya’s wild heart beats loudest.

Amboseli National Park offers iconic views of Mount Kilimanjaro towering over vast elephant herds—some of Africa’s largest. With over 370 bird species, it’s a haven for photographers and birdwatchers. Just 7km from downtown Nairobi, Nairobi National Park delivers a surreal safari experience: spot lions, black rhinos, and giraffes with the city skyline in the background—Africa’s only wildlife park bordering a capital.

From Maasai cultural villages and Swahili coastal history to fossil-rich Turkana, Kenya offers a rich journey through ancient traditions, wildlife legends, and vibrant modern life.
