Kenya
Where the World’s Most Iconic Safaris Were Born and Wild Stories Still Unfold
Kenya
Iconic landscapes, legendary wildlife, and living traditions.
Kenya is the original safari destination—a place where untamed wilderness and deep cultural heritage come together in unforgettable ways. Vast savannahs stretch beneath acacia-dotted skies, wildebeest thunder across open plains, and big cats rest in the warm glow of dawn and dusk. At its heart lies the world-famous Masai Mara, complemented by the snow-capped heights of Mount Kenya and the enduring traditions of its people.
Experience the Mara from above on a sunrise hot-air balloon, walk the land with Maasai warriors, or encounter elephant strongholds in the remote landscapes of Samburu. From wildlife-rich reserves to palm-fringed coastlines, Kenya offers striking contrasts and meaningful connections—where classic safari heritage meets carefully curated adventure.
