Welcome to Kenya, the East Africa destination hub where big safari experiences begin and end.

Nairobi is the capital city of Kenya and the biggest city in East Africa. The city is heavily populated and very busy and is the economic, political, and administrative capital of Kenya. It offers the most reliable international flights via Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), located in the southern part of the city. It remains the unrivaled gateway to East Africa. Majority of safari itineraries in Kenya begin or end here, making a safari pit stop in Nairobi almost inevitable.

Safaris & Beyond recommends the Masai Mara as Kenya’s most iconic safari destination—renowned for its abundant resident wildlife and the legendary Maasai warriors. Beyond the Mara, Kenya offers a variety of experiences, from well-known, easily accessible reserves to hidden, off-the-beaten-path gems. With our expert guidance, you’ll enjoy a safari that’s tailored to deliver the very best Kenya has to offer.

Kenya tours and safaris include the Big 5 game viewing, which is full of natural beauty and cultural encounters, often combining Kenya’s top attractions with Tanzania and the tropical beaches of the Kenyan coast. The safari bucket list for Kenya includes seeing the Great Migration in the legendary Masai Mara, Amboseli’s unforgettable views of Mount Kilimanjaro, and Samburu’s leopards. Encounter fascinating cultures in authentic Masai and Samburu villages and taste the flavours of East Africa Swahili culture.

Kenya delivers the classic East African safari experiencedramatic game viewing from the comfort of amazing tented camps and lodges, and indulgent beach retreats and modern hotels to escape to after your safari. Available are top destinations like the Masai Mara National Reserve, Amboseli National Park, and Lamu Island Archipelago, and enjoy some of the most luxurious accommodation Kenya has to offer.

While Kenya accommodation includes some of the finest private villas and boutique hotels in the region, it’s Kenya’s safari lodges and tented camps that capture the essence of a bygone era. Romantic honeymoon suites, mobile tented camps that follow the wildebeest migration, and colonial-style ranches all add to the ambience of one of Africa’s most popular safari destinations.
