The Birthplace of Safari

Kenya

Kenya is where the safari was born. From the iconic Maasai Mara — where the Great Wildebeest Migration thunders across the Mara River — to the elephant herds of Amboseli silhouetted against Mount Kilimanjaro, Kenya offers unparalleled wildlife encounters, rich Maasai culture, and breathtaking landscapes. End your safari on the white sand beaches of the Kenya Coast or the UNESCO World Heritage island of Lamu.
