About Kenya
Kenya is where the modern safari was born, and the Masai Mara remains its beating heart, delivering unrivaled predator sightings and the dramatic Mara River crossings of the Great Migration. Beyond the savanna, the country stretches from the flamingo-lined shores of Lake Nakuru to the coral reefs of the Diani coast and the stark beauty of the northern Samburu desert. Paired with rich Maasai cultural traditions and some of Africa's finest luxury lodges, Kenya offers a safari experience that is both deeply authentic and supremely comfortable.

Local Tips
Opt for a conservancy bordering the Masai Mara reserve for fewer vehicles and the ability to do off-road drives and night safaris.
Khaki and neutral-toned clothing works best on safari as bright colors can disturb wildlife.
Kenya uses a three-pin British-style plug so bring a universal adapter for charging camera gear.
Safari vehicles can be very dusty so keep camera equipment in sealed bags between drives.
