One of the major draws of going on safari in Kenya is the sheer variety of attractions and the activities on its safaris menu. Kenya is diverse and that means that you can see much within a short period of visitation as opposed to other destinations in Africa.
Whilst the game-rich savanna plains of the Masai Mara still remain to be undoubtedly the best-known of Kenya’s parks, in the know guests would also love to head up to the least-visited Western Kenya where Kakamega, Kenya’s only equatorial rain forest lies or explore the inland beaches the remote islands of Mfangano and Rusinga in Lake Victoria. The vast Laikipia conservancies are home to some of Africa’s best-run rhino conservation projects and where the views of the snow-capped peak of Mount Kenya offer a compelling backdrop to every safari guest.
More adventurous guests may wish to discover the wilds of Lake Turkana where they can camp under the stars and trek through the bush with only their guides and a team of camels for company. The stunning Mount Meru National Park, the former home to Elsa the lioness of Born Free fame is another wonderful spot, as are the drier parks of Amboseli, and Tsavo East and West to the south.
Explore the rugged mountains in the north from a helicopter and then find yourself riding through the green Chyulu Hills amongst some of the biggest tuskers in the world without forgetting the spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro. With an incredible combination of all the best wildlife in the bush to the turquoise waters of the Swahili coastline on the Indian Ocean.
For visitors looking to enjoy a longer safari trip with a number of varied areas, Kenya really does have everything to offer.
The main reason for visiting Kenya is course, its abundant wildlife. This has made Kenya to be an amazing safari holiday not only for the seasoned travelers but also for the first timers equally. Wildlife safaris in Kenya yields perhaps much better than any other country on the continent with the sheer variety and numbers of animals that can be seen on any single visitation.
The premier Masai Mara, home to of the best big cat sightings on earth, as well as the herds of the Great Migration that call Masai Mara plains their home in the months of July and October takes the plaudits. Alongside the wildlife, you will be able to experience personal encounters with the iconic Masai tribe who for ages have coexisted peacefully with the wildlife.
Explore the splendid land of Samburu in northern Kenya for the unique species of Samburu. Encounter the mighty Tuskers of the Amboseli back dropped by the picturesque Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain.
Rhino and conservation enthusiasts should head north to Laikipia, more specifically the Borana and Lewa Conservancies, which are home to some incredible rhino conservation, projects, as well as a huge variety of other wildlife.
Wherever you choose to go and whatever animals are top of your list, you will be accompanied by amazing and very knowledgeable safari guides who will really do their best to bring your safari experience to life.

Every fragile ecosystem is somebody’s home. Empowering local communities through ecotourism is every conservationist’s obligation. For an ecosystem to remain successful, it relies on the community those benefits from initiatives supported by responsible conservation practice. Some of these benefits include good health, sanitation, and access to education, resilient cultures, strong social infrastructures, food security, and indirect benefits.
Part of a holistic solution to a problem that if left unchecked could result in having to restock our wildernesses in the next few years’ time. Through ecotourism, we’ve designed the Beyond Parks Initiative as a solution to tackle poverty, protect communities, conserve nature, and effect cultural change only where it’s absolutely necessary.
For us, ensuring that we have the greatest impact has meant Oluokos creating its own signature footprint. We treasure our community; we’re dearly attached to nature as we depend on it for our lifelong income. The success of our approach requires three vital ingredients: conservation, commerce, and community. Please, read more aout ecotourism and nature conservation
