Kenya invented the modern safari, and the Maasai Mara still delivers on that reputation — one of the highest-density wildlife destinations anywhere on the continent, and the setting for the Mara River crossings each year. Amboseli adds Kilimanjaro as a backdrop to some of Africa's largest elephant herds, and Samburu offers arid-adapted species found nowhere else in the country.
What sets Kenya apart from our other three countries is the coast — Diani Beach gives a genuine tropical close to a wildlife-focused trip, a combination few other East African itineraries can offer in a single country.
