Kenya centres on the Maasai Mara’s Great Migration, the conservancies of Laikipia and the coral streets of Lamu on the coast. A luxury journey moves between reserves by light aircraft, closing with rhino tracking or a slower island finish. Few countries pair such wildlife density with such variety of landscape.
The herds typically cross the Mara river between July and October, though timing shifts with the rains each year. January and February offer quieter dry-season game viewing, with fewer vehicles and equally rewarding sightings across the reserve.
