KENYA

This is the country from which the word " safari " originates, meaning "journey" in Swahili. Kenya offers a host of spectacular sights and landscapes: the Amboseli National Park and its elephants, with Kilimanjaro in the background; the Samburu Reserve and its endemic species in a semi-desert landscape; and the Masai Mara, where the great wildebeest migration takes place every year.

NB: all the tours on offer are organised by specialist agencies. However, I accompany clients on the various safaris.

Few people who have been on safari in Kenya have left disappointed.
Kenya is a paradise for wildlife photographers and nature lovers. All of Africa's iconic species can be found here, including the famous Big 5 and a large number of predators. Most of the scenes in the film Out of Africa were shot here, as were the images in The Lion King: inspired mainly by the Masai Mara.

When to visit Kenya?

Kenya is one of the countries where you can travel all year round, depending on your preferences. The high season from July to October offers the wildebeest migration to the Masai Mara, but prices are higher. From November to December, the short rainy season can offer more affordable rates, although some areas may be difficult to access. The dry season, from January to February and June to October, is ideal for stable weather conditions and optimum wildlife viewing. The long rainy season from March to May is less popular but offers lush vegetation.
