Kenya

For over 30 years Kenya has played host to those searching for exotic holidays and honeymoons, while at the same time leading the way in promoting conservation for the rare animals of this magnificent continent. The word safari means journey in Swahili and a visit to this beautiful country is indeed that. The history of Kenya is both long and diverse, from its beginnings as a grazing land for Nilotic tribes such as the Masai, to the country as it is today, a peaceful and beautiful land.

Kenya remains, as ever, one of the places to visit in Africa for three principle reasons. The people, who are the most welcoming and friendly you will meet. The scenery, which ranges from the dramatic semi-desert in the north to the rolling hills and greenery of the highlands to the dramatic sweep of the Rift Valley floor and the Mara in the south. Finally, the game, with the Migration visiting the southern plains in August to November and the grevy's zebra and oryx upon the Laikipia Plateau, there is an abundance throughout. The order by which these safari camps and lodges are listed bears no reflection on our preference.
