Kenya

Go on a magical journey through this amazing African country

Kenya is a stunningly beautiful country with plenty to offer. Enjoy some of the best landscapes in Africa and some luxury accommodation. The most popular Kenyan destination is the vast Masai Mara National Reserve, a huge game reserve that has plenty of lavish accommodation and is the prime place to witness the Great Migration, an annual gathering of thousands of wildebeest and zebra crossing the Serengeti. Accommodation in the Masai Mara National Reserve, especially in an area where the migration can be observed, is exclusive, and truly one of the most fascinating safari experiences anyone could have. Popular accommodations include Little Governor’s Camp, a 5-star safari camp set near the edge of the reserve. Another stunning camp in the reserve is the Mahali Mzuri, a tented safari camp owned by Sir Richard Branson. Other well-known areas include the Amboseli National Park and the stunning Mount Kenya.

The best time to visit one of the superb Kenya National parks depends on your preferences. Wildlife viewing is considered to be good throughout the year, but visits during the dry season are often recommended. Wildlife at this time is quite easy to find because the animals are often around waterholes and the vegetation is not as dense. The parks are a bit more crowded however due to this being the best time to see the wildebeest migration. From November to February the landscape is greener and more beautiful, and newborn animals are a common sight. Migratory birds can also be seen from September to April. March, April and May, however, are the months when the rainfall is at its heaviest. Some lodges may close during this period.
