The Great Migration, the Big Five, Maasai culture and endless golden savanna.
Kenya is the classic safari: the Masai Mara's great herds and river crossings, elephants beneath Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, flamingo lakes in the Rift Valley and leopards resting in the acacias.
We stay in tented camps on private conservancies, where vehicles are few and the guiding is outstanding, and meet the Maasai communities who share the land with the wildlife. Finish on the white beaches of the coast.
