Kenya
Kenya is the classic East African safari, with the Maasai Mara's migration season and a coastline to unwind afterward.
The safari most people picture first.
Kenya's Maasai Mara is one of the most recognisable safari settings anywhere — open savannah, the annual wildebeest migration, and a well-developed safari circuit that makes logistics genuinely easier than some neighbouring countries.
Where the trip actually happens.
Maasai Mara
Kenya's flagship reserve — game drives across open plains, with the wildebeest migration typically crossing between July and October.
Nairobi
Most itineraries pass through Nairobi as an entry point, often with a short stop before heading to the Mara.
The Coast
Mombasa and Diani give a safari trip a beach-based close — a genuinely different pace after several days of early game drives.
Planning basics.
A few things worth knowing before booking.
Best For
Wildlife lovers, first-time safari travellers, couples and small groups.
How Long
6–9 days suits a Mara safari plus a coastal close; shorter trips can focus on the Mara alone.
Sample Route
Nairobi → Maasai Mara → Coast (optional).
