With every dawdling step you unlock a new tribe, which is uniquely elegant. The culture here is a sheer highlight with locations such as the Masai Mara, when coalesced with the North (Meru, Laikipia or Samburu); are so contrasting yet appealing, giving you the feel as if you’ve checked-in two different mesmerising, vibrant countries. Epic for the ultimate honeymoon or even the most idyllic family safari in Kenya.

While Kenya is historically the original and perfect spot for wildlife and iconic national parks, there’s so much to experience here than one can imagine! With a stunning coastline – sun-drenched sparkly sand & babbling turquoise shore, the country is also home some of the world’s picturesque landscapes. For many, Kenya is understandably synonymous with Safari. It’s not just the birthplace of these spectacular wilderness jaunts but it remains one of the best till this date. After all, what beats witnessing hundreds of hooves pounding across the banks, the sound of frantically splashing wildebeests and zebras risking their lives to cross the crocodile filled waters! It is truly the ultimate wildlife spectacle, all of this from some of the best luxury lodges in Kenya.

Experience close encounters with Africa’s ‘big five’ animals, name – lion, elephant, rhino, leopard and buffalo – and feel the essence of the continent running through your veins.

= Excellent: Best time to visit Masai Mara or simply the best of the year to see the Great Migration in full swing is July - October each. Lodges move into their peak season pricing given the incredible wildlife sightings on offer. Advisable to book far in advance for this dry season. Jan & Feb make for another great time to go on Safari.

= Good: The short rains (Nov & Dec) set-in during this period which offers respite from the heat and soaring lodge prices. Still a good time to view lush savannahs, migratory birds and new born animals.

= Fair: The period of long rains mean animal sightings are in limited supply given the abundance of vegetation and extensive downpour. Mornings are still good for game viewing and lodges are offering their best deals at this point.
