Every year from July to October, the Maasai Mara National Reserve hosts the world-famous Great Migration, which includes not only those massive herds of herbivores but also remarkable concentrations of large cats. Another location deserving of visit for its abundance of animals is the Samburu National Reserve, which features its own Big Five as well as the Samburu people; a stay here offers a great nature-and-culture mix!

Exploring a safari region offers various options; it’s not all about wildlife drives. Should you have ever fantasized about very near animal interactions, you could want to think about saddling up and experiencing it all on a horseback safari. Alternatively, why not fly and have a helicopter safari over the vast savanna below? Kenya offers plenty of thrilling things to do, ideal for both first-timers and seasoned veterans!
