Kenya - Birthplace of the Safari
2021 Kenya Safari Planning Guide
KENYA is the birthplace of the safari. The idea of traveling on a Africa wildlife safari with family and friends in search of the Big Five was founded in Kenya, and while the trophies we take home now are pictures and memories, the real excitement of a Kenya Safari is the opportunity this share this rich experience with family and friends.
You can witness The Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra, from the banks of the Mara River, as they seek safe passage past snapping crocodiles, or take an early morning flight over the plains of the Masi Mara in a hot air balloon, to witness one of the greatest wildlife shows on earth. Kenya offers the quintessential "Out of Africa" experience.
Tanzania: Safari & Spice - Serengeti to Zanzibar
