Kenya: The Birthplace of Safari

With its iconic Big Five and the mesmerizing Great Migration in the Masai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya stands out as one of the world’s most renowned safari destinations. The allure of witnessing wildlife on the expansive savannah has captivated travelers since colonial times. Much like Karen Blixen, who chronicled her breathtaking experiences in her acclaimed book “Out of Africa” in 1937, visitors are drawn to Kenya's enchanting landscapes and diverse fauna — a captivating tale that is just as powerful on screen as in print.

Countless Experiences Await

Beyond traditional safari adventures in vehicles, on foot, by boat, or even on horseback, Kenya offers a plethora of activities. Feel the vibrant energy of Mombasa and Nairobi, unwind on the pristine beaches of Diani Beach or Chale Island, or dive into the Indian Ocean for an exhilarating encounter with whale sharks. With an abundance of memorable experiences, Kenya has everything you need for a heart-pounding adventure… or two… or three!

A Day in the Life of a Safari Adventure

Your day in Kenya begins with the symphony of the savannah melting into your consciousness (early risers rejoice!). After a delicious breakfast, you’ll hop into your safari jeep with your knowledgeable guide and driver. A quick cup of coffee powers you through your first adventure. Prefer to eat after your initial wildlife sightings? No problem! The early morning hours, post-sunrise, are prime for spotting active animals.

Post-lunch, choose to return to your lodge for relaxation, or continue exploring with a delightful picnic. As the day gives way to dusk, enjoy a traditional sundowner while taking in breath-taking sunset views, followed by dinner and the chance to unwind while reflecting on your day's adventures.

The Samburu Special Five

Kenya is known for its commitment to wildlife conservation, featuring 24 national parks, 15 game reserves, six marine parks, and numerous private conservancies. The black rhino, once on the brink of extinction, has seen population growth thanks to active breeding programs, while many other rare species flourish as well. Among them, the Samburu Special Five—comprised of the beautiful Beisa oryx, elegant gerenuk, reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, and Somali ostrich—can only be spotted together in the Samburu National Reserve.

Celebrating the Smaller Species

Kenya's diverse ecosystems are home to an astonishing array of birds. It’s not uncommon to see hundreds of species within a single national park! From vibrant small birds to majestic vultures, waterbirds, and endemic species unique to this region, birdwatching in Kenya is truly remarkable. Plus, the wildlife extends to reptiles and insects, from snakes like the black mamba and cobra to lizards and chameleons. While some creatures may dwell in the wild, hotels are equipped to keep your stay comfortable by managing those pesky pests.
