The Maasai Mara's open plains, the migration's dramatic river crossings, and Nairobi's wildlife orphanages and lakes.
Plan a trip here →Kenya is the home of the classic safari and a natural companion to a Tanzanian journey. A Kenyan route often begins in Nairobi with elephant and giraffe encounters, moves to Lake Nakuru's flamingos and rhino sanctuary, and ends on the Maasai Mara, one of the finest wildlife landscapes on the continent.
The Maasai Mara is the northern end of the same ecosystem as the Serengeti, and it is where the herds famously cross the Mara River. Its rolling grassland makes sightings easy, and its conservancies limit vehicle numbers and allow night drives and walking safaris.
Kenya adds things you will not find in Tanzania: the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and Giraffe Centre in Nairobi, Lake Nakuru's rhino-friendly woodland, and a long tradition of Maasai-led conservancies where local landowners share in tourism income.

Peak months: Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct.
July to October is when the Great Migration is in the Mara, with the dramatic river crossings peaking in August and September. January and February are hot and dry and very good for big cats. The long rains of April and May are the quietest time.
Fly into Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International (NBO). The Mara is roughly a five- to six-hour drive from the capital, or a short scheduled flight to a Mara airstrip.
