Kenya

Kenya is East Africa’s safari heartland — the Maasai Mara, the Great Migration, Amboseli’s elephant panoramas and the rare species of the northern frontier have made it one of the world’s great wildlife travel destinations. Beyond the famous parks, Kenya’s private conservancies offer some of Africa’s most innovative and exclusive safari experiences.
