Masai Mara's lion prides, the Great Migration, snow-capped Kilimanjaro views, and the Swahili coast — Africa at its most spectacular.

About

Why Visit Kenya?

Kenya is the world's premier safari destination — a country of extraordinary wildlife diversity, dramatic landscapes, and deeply rooted indigenous cultures. The Masai Mara National Reserve hosts the greatest wildlife spectacle on Earth: the annual Great Migration, when 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles cross the Mara River in a thundering, crocodile-gauntlet surge that stretches for miles. Beyond the Mara, Kenya offers snow-capped Mount Kenya, the pink-flamingo lakes of the Rift Valley, the Amboseli plains with Kilimanjaro as backdrop, and the white-sand Diani Beach on the Indian Ocean coast. For Indian travellers, Kenya is a deeply rewarding safari destination with direct flights, a large Indian diaspora community, and superb luxury lodge experiences.
