With its impressive wildlife and magnificent landscapes, Kenya is a superb destination for an unforgettable safari experience.
Your safari in Kenya will take you to one or more of Kenya’s most celebrated national parks. For example, you can witness the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Maasai Mara, watch elephants with views of Kilimanjaro in Amboseli National Park, admire the striking landscapes and the Samburu Special Five in Samburu, or explore Tsavo East National Park, renowned for its distinctive red soil.
No matter which of Kenya’s national parks you choose to visit, one thing is certain: you’ll encounter abundant wildlife, from elephants and hippos to giraffes and lions – and that’s just a small taste of the fascinating species that await you in Kenya.
Kenya may not be the first place you think of for a beach holiday, but it will surprise you with stunning beaches that are perfect for just that!
On the country’s east coast, along Kenya’s shoreline on the Indian Ocean, relaxing days by the warm sea await, with beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see.
You can choose to spend your beach holiday in Kenya at Diani Beach, which beckons with white sands, crystal-clear water, and excellent water sports such as snorkelling, windsurfing, and kayaking; or at Malindi Beach, where, besides unwinding on the beautiful shore, you’re close to UNESCO-listed sights and authentic Swahili culture.
A tour to Kenya brings you to some of the country’s largest cities, where soaring high-rises and bustling streets stand in sharp contrast to the peaceful life of the savannah.
Kenya’s vibrant capital, Nairobi, is rich in both culture and nature, and you can’t help but be captivated when you visit this remarkable city. For example, enjoy views of the Ngong Hills when you visit the famous Karen Blixen Museum, or head out on an authentic safari in Nairobi National Park, with Nairobi’s striking skyline as your backdrop.

If you’re dreaming of more nature and wildlife experiences, you could, for example, combine it with gorilla trekking in Uganda or a safari in Madagascar. If you’d prefer more time on the beach, you can extend your tour with a beach holiday in Mauritius or Zanzibar. See your options under each tour.
Combine your Kenyan adventure with a tour to Mauritius, an exclusive tropical paradise in the heart of the Indian Ocean.
With its turquoise waters and breathtaking beaches, including gems such as Tamarin, Flic en Flac, and Palmar, Mauritius invites both lazy hours in the sun and active time in the water – for example, diving and snorkelling among the beautiful coral reefs that surround the island.
Those heavenly beaches are far from the only thing waiting for you on Mauritius. The island also offers a wealth of lush, diverse natural experiences that will enchant any traveller. For example, you can hike up the iconic mountain, Le Morne, or lose yourself in the beauty of nature at the sacred Ganga Talao lake.
If you’re keen to experience wildlife that’s markedly different from that on the African mainland, combine Kenya with a tour to Madagascar.
Madagascar is a scenic gem off Africa’s east coast, home to wildlife so unique that 90% of its species are found nowhere else on Earth. One of the animals the island is especially known for is the lemur, which is endemic to Madagascar. There are more than 100 different species, ranging from the elegant sifaka, famed for its incredible leaping ability, to the iconic ring-tailed lemur, recognised by its distinctive black-and-white tail.
Beyond its rich wildlife, Madagascar also offers magnificent landscapes, including lush rainforests, beautiful orchids, and iconic baobab trees, along with fascinating historical experiences such as the Queen’s Palace in the vibrant capital, Antananarivo.
Extend your East African adventure and combine Kenya with a tour to Tanzania, which, like Kenya, offers world-class wildlife, nature, and cultural experiences.

If pure relaxation is what you’re dreaming of, you can combine your tour to Kenya with a beach holiday on Zanzibar: an idyllic paradise island lying 50 km off Tanzania’s coast, enticing you with soft sandy beaches, swaying coconut palms, and turquoise waters as far as the eye can see.
If you can’t get enough of Africa’s amazing wildlife and stunning scenery, you can combine Kenya with a tour to Uganda.
In Uganda, you’ll find some of the continent’s most varied and lush landscapes, offering everything from dense rainforests and sweeping savannahs to dormant volcanoes and majestic mountains. Beyond its breathtaking scenery, Uganda also impresses with its unique wildlife, which you can encounter up close in some of the country’s beautiful national parks.
Among the highlights is a visit to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, where you can encounter one of the world’s largest populations of free-roaming mountain gorillas in their natural habitat, along with more than 120 species of mammals and 350 species of birds.

Kenya is a year-round destination, offering wonderful experiences at any time of year. The best time to visit therefore largely depends on you and what you’re looking for.
Most people prefer to travel during the dry seasons, when the weather is historically at its ‘best’, i.e. January to February/March and June to October.
