Kenya

Safari is a Swahili word, which means ‘journey’, and this is where the expression was born. Kenya offers possibly the ultimate African safari experience – wide-open plains, teeming herds of game and amazing opportunities to photograph animals. The Maasai Mara and Amboseli areas are probably the most visited on account of their extraordinary photographic opportunities, but people return time and again to explore Kenya’s other amazing destinations. There are amazing camps in Kenya, but the trick is to avoid the national park areas and very busy times if you want to stay away from the crowds.

The grasslands, rivers and mountain backdrop of the Mara are a spectacularly open and rolling canvas for one of the greatest game arenas in the world. Many people time their visit to coincide with the annual great migration, when rainfall and the availability of grazing trigger three million ungulates to migrate across the Serengeti Mara Ecosystem. It is undoubtedly one of the great natural wonders of the world.

Quick Facts:

  • Kenya lies astride the equator on the eastern coast of Africa
  • The Mara is only 1,300 square kilometres, but it is a seamless part of the 27,000 square kilometre Serengeti Mara Ecosystem, which includes Tanzania’s Serengeti and Maasai land
  • Tsavo is the largest national park in Kenya at 22 000 hectares. The park is well known for its red, dust-covered elephants which number some 12,000
  • Kenya is home to the Jade Sea – both the world’s largest soda lake and permanent desert lake
  • Off the Kenya coast, the small island of Lamu is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the oldest ports in Africa
