Your complete planning guide for a Kenya safari
Kenya is one of Africa's most iconic safari destinations, home to the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, and Samburu. This checklist covers everything specific to planning a Kenya safari, from visa requirements to the best time to witness the Great Migration.
The Maasai Mara conservancies (Olare Motorogi, Mara North, Naboisho) offer exclusive game viewing with fewer vehicles and off-road driving privileges. They cost more but deliver a far superior experience.
July-October for the Great Migration river crossings. January-February for calving season in the Serengeti (combine with a Tanzania extension). June and November offer good wildlife with fewer crowds.
