KENYA TRAVEL & SAFARI INFO

A Kenya safari is synonymous with exploration, discovery and adventure. This is the land of the great savannah grasslands, interspersed with acacia thorn trees, and inhabited by great herds of wildlife and vigilant predators.

Explorers and travellers have always felt drawn to Kenya, and the romance of the country’s wildlife and natural beauty has been etched in our minds through movies such as “Born Free”, which immortalised the lioness Elsa; and “Out of Africa”, which captured the decadent years of British imperialism in Kenya.

Today, when many people think of safari, they think Kenya – with images of vast plains and animals silhouetted against vivid sunsets, coming to mind. The dream of a Kenya safari can be an easy and affordable reality, and there are a wide variety of choices for travellers – from overland truck safaris for the young and adventurous to colonial splendour in Hemingway style meru tents or traditional East African homesteads to the comfort and grace of modern safari lodges.

Kenya’s principal wildlife parks and attractions are the Masai Mara, Amboseli and the snow capped peaks of Mount Kenya - destinations which have enchanted travellers for centuries, with the allure of big game and spectacular scenery.

The main arrival point for travel to Kenya is the capital of Nairobi, which is served by daily flights out of London and many other European cities.
