Where the safari story begins

Kenya

Kenya is the classic East African safari — the Masai Mara's open plains, the annual wildebeest migration, and some of the continent's most experienced safari guides. It's also where Elite Escapes Africa is based, so it's the destination we know best.

Overview

Kenya is the classic East African safari — the Masai Mara's open plains, the annual wildebeest migration, and some of the continent's most experienced safari guides. It's also where Elite Escapes Africa is based, so it's the destination we know best.

Beyond the Mara, Kenya offers Amboseli's elephant herds beneath Kilimanjaro, the flamingo-lined shores of Lake Nakuru, and the Indian Ocean coastline around Diani — all reachable within a single well-planned itinerary.

Travel Tips
1

The Great Migration river crossings peak July–October, but the Mara offers strong game viewing year-round.

2

Combine a Mara safari with a few days in Diani — most itineraries fly between the two in under an hour.

3

Malaria prophylaxis is generally recommended for safari regions; confirm current guidance with your doctor.

4

Fly-in safaris cost more than road transfers but save significant time on a short trip.
