Discover Its Beauty and Wildlife

Where to Go in Kenya: A Guide to the Top Destinations & National Parks

Where to Go in Kenya

Kenya is the quintessential safari destination, vast, varied, and endlessly captivating. From the golden plains of the Maasai Mara and the elephant-rich landscapes of Amboseli to the red-earth wilderness of Tsavo and the palm-fringed shores of Diani Beach, the country is a study in contrast and beauty. Beyond its famous parks, Kenya reveals mountain highlands, Rift Valley lakes shimmering with flamingos, and a coastline steeped in Swahili culture.


Renowned for its classic savanna safaris, Kenya is the setting for the famous Maasai Mara National Reserve, known for its annual wildebeest migration.

Home to the iconic Serengeti National Park and Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania offers unparalleled wildlife experiences. The Great Migration passes through its vast plains.

Uganda lives up to the standards of an authentic African experience. As Winston Churchill, who was quite enthused about Uganda’s grandeur, would put it: For magnificence, for variety of form and color, for profusion of brilliant life — bird, insect, reptile, beast — for vast scale — Uganda is truly “the Pearl of Africa.”

Zanzibar is renowned for its breathtaking beaches, its extensive coral reefs that provide world-class scuba diving and snorkelling, and for its historic Stone Town with its narrow, winding streets and mixture of Arab, Persian, Indian and European architecture.

Home to the lush Volcanoes National Park and the scenic savannahs of Akagera, Rwanda offers rare encounters with mountain gorillas and Big Five safaris. Misty forests and rolling hills define its wild beauty.
