Masai Mara and the Rift

Things to do in Kenya

Kenya is the classic first safari: the Masai Mara for big cats and the river crossings, Amboseli for elephant under Kilimanjaro, and the Rift Valley lakes for birds and rhino.

Short flights link the Mara, Amboseli, Laikipia and the coast, so Kenya delivers a lot of variety without long road days.
