Why Choose Kenya for Your Safari?
Kenya is widely regarded as the birthplace of the modern safari , lions resting under acacia trees, elephants crossing beneath Kilimanjaro, the Great Migration in the Mara, hippo-watching on Lake Naivasha, black and white rhinos in Nakuru, and a stretch of beach in Diani, Watamu, or Malindi to finish.
