Kenya

Kenya is the birthplace of the safari, and its safari camps are renowned for their luxury accommodations. We think it’s one of the best destinations for a first-time visitor to Africa. The Masai Mara National Reserve and associated private reserves in the southwest of the country are famous for the great migration, but Kenya has a wide variety of less well-known national parks. We recommend the Samburu National Reserve for its stunning sunsets, welcoming people, and top-notch wildlife viewing. Kenya is also a great destination for elephant lovers because travelers can visit the elephant orphans at the world-famous David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust near Nairobi National Park.
