Kenya is the birthplace of the word “safari” and home to the Masai Mara — the northern stage of the Great Migration. Compact distances, big-cat density and easy combination with Tanzania make it a superb safari country.
Top parks & areas
When to go
July to October is prime time for the Mara and its river crossings; the green months of January–March are quieter with excellent resident wildlife and good value. See Best Time to Visit.
Getting there & around
Most trips start in Nairobi (Jomo Kenyatta International, NBO). Light-aircraft flights into the Mara and other reserves keep travel time short. Detail in Getting There & Flights.
Visas & health
Kenya uses an online travel authorisation system that visitors should apply for before arrival, plus yellow-fever rules for some routings. See Visa & Entry.
✓ Two countries, one trip
