PEOPLE & CULTURE
Kenya is home to more than 40 ethnic communities. A safari here is also a journey into rich traditions and warm hospitality.
Perhaps the most iconic community, known for their distinctive dress, warrior traditions and deep connection to the land.
A unique blend of African, Arab and Indian influences reflected in language, architecture and cuisine.
We partner with community conservancies and local guides so that tourism directly benefits the people who protect these landscapes.
WHEN TO GO
Kenya is a year-round destination, but the experience changes with the seasons.
Peak wildlife viewing. The Great Migration reaches the Masai Mara. Excellent game drives and clear skies.
Lush landscapes, fewer visitors, excellent birding and still very good game viewing.
Greener scenery, dramatic skies and lower rates. Some areas become harder to access.
Great for Amboseli and the coast. Calving season begins in the southern plains.
