Widlife Safaris in Kenya
he Best Holiday Tour in Africa
The word ‘Safari’ is inextricably linked with wildlife. In that fashion – Kenya does not disappoint. The Masai Mara is world renowned for the sheer volume and biomass of wildlife and its annual wildebeest migration. Similarly, Amboseli and Samburu for their large herds of elephant and Laikipia for its incredible co-existence between former and current cattle ranches and predators. Kenya has a variety of ecosystems, from glacial peaks on Mt. Kenya right through to sand dunes in the Suguta Valley and as such hosts wide and diverse populations of both abundant and rare species of wildlife that exist in these ecosystems.
