Why do a Kenya Luxury Safari

A Kenya holiday offers perhaps one of the best introductions to safari, with plentiful wildlife and big game, thrilling migrations and an incredible choice of activities. There’s also the opportunity to twin your holiday to Kenya with a stay on the coast, or on the paradise islands of Zanzibar

Kenya is both familiar and surprising. Many will have seen the country depicted on countless wildlife documentaries, its enormous savannah stretching away into the shimmering horizon, teeming with wildlife. But to see it in person is to understand its true beauty and wonderful contrasts: of snow-capped Equatorial mountains; rich red earth inhabited by vibrant cultures; dense forests; and blissful beaches to rival the Indian Ocean’s most tranquil atolls. Staying in a mobile tented camp or rustic lodge affords the best way to see Kenya’s stirring landscapes in all their glory; rise early to watch the morning mist uncurl from around the knotted acacia trees as the savannah melts into view. Many of the lodges in Kenya have won awards for their design and facilities, offering not only a comfortable place to rest your head but well-thought out programmes of game drives, learning experiences and cultural tours. From safari spotting to hot air balloon rides over the savannah, to dipping your toes in the Indian Ocean, Kenya’s variety is vast.
