Kenya

Kenya is where the modern safari was born, and it remains one of the most thrilling places on Earth to witness the wild. The Maasai Mara is the northern stage for the Great Migration, with river crossings of unimaginable drama; Amboseli frames its enormous elephant herds against the snows of Kilimanjaro; Lake Nakuru flames pink with flamingos; and Nairobi National Park is the only major game reserve in the world inside a capital city, with rhino grazing against a downtown skyline. Off the savannah, Kenya's coast offers a different kind of escape — Mombasa's old town, white-sand beaches and Swahili dhows make a perfect post-safari unwind. From the Rift Valley lakes to the highlands and the Indian Ocean, Kenya delivers the full Africa experience in one extraordinary country.
