Kenya is an independent republic, occupying an area of 582,646 km2.
The population of the country is approximately 42 million with over 42 ethnic groups. The National language is Kiswahili and English is the official language spoken at all levels.
The capital city is Nairobi and Mombasa is the main port. Kenya straddles the equator and is bisected by the Great Rift Valley from North to South.
The diverse and abundant wildlife owes it very existence and uniqueness to the country's terrain, which ranges from snow covered peaks of Mount Kenya, to Highlands, to Savannah, to the Great Rift Valley and its lakes as well as the simmering sands of the Coast. Each of these regions are home to unique types of wildlife. For ornithologists it has an amazing wealth of birdlife. Kenya has 59 National Parks, Game Reserve, Marine National Parks and Reserves.
The proper management of the game parks is the hallmark of the country's conservation measures and commitment to eco-tourism as dramatically illustrated by the ivory burning in 1989 by President Daniel Arap Moi. Since then, the great fire has been lit twice more to banish confiscated stocks of poached rhino horn and ivory. Kenya is a land where the world's remaining population of big cats, big mammals and plains game still roam free in their natural habitats.
Popular FAQs about going on safari in Kenya
What is the best time to go on safari in Kenya?
The best time to visit Kenya is during the Dry season from late June to October (these are the best wildlife viewing months). The wildebeest migration usually reaches the Masai Mara in August and remains until October when they move back to the Serengeti in Tanzania. Wildlife viewing is good year-round, but this can differ for some parks. See below to learn when to visit which park.
Avoid The Rainy Season
The Masai Mara offers great wildlife viewing throughout the year. In the peak of the rainy season, most other parks, especially in the highlands and along the coast, can be problematic with regards to heat, humidity and continuous rain. Some of the lodges close as a result. The dry months offer quality wildlife viewing throughout Kenya.
What is the best safari in Kenya?
Kenya features exceptional wildlife and adventure activities. The game-filled plains of the Masai Mara, Amboseli, Nairobi National Park, Lake Nakuru & Naivasha, Ol pejeta conservancy, Tsavo and Samburu to name a few – offer incredible wildlife, stunning backdrops and accommodation.; and the southern coastline boasts azure waters and white sand beaches.
How much is a safari trip to Kenya?

While accommodation is partly what will determine cost for many travelers, it can also depend on how you wish to travel between the various parks – air transfers, usually via Nairobi, can be expensive, but dramatically reduce the amount of time you'll spend on the road, thereby maximizing the amount of time you'll get to spend in the parks themselves. Remember also that most Kenya safari packages will include transport, accommodation, all meals and activities (including game drives).
