Kenya Safari Holiday

Above all it's the wildlife that attracts the safari traveller to some Africa's best-known national parks, including the Masai Mara, Tsavo National Park, Amboseli National Park, and Lake Nakuru National Park - and naturally it's the incredible Great Wildebeest Migration that is the biggest attraction of them all.

The ebb and flow of hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti in Tanzania, to Kenya's Masai Mara and back is a phenomenal, once-in-a-lifetime sight - and well worth the effort to witness it.

Timing your trip to coincide with the migration is important - the exact moment when the herds pass through a specific area depends on highly unpredictable factors such as when the rains fall.

For more details about how to time your Kenya safari holiday with the migration, see our migration month-by-month guide.

But rest assured, even if you don't have the luxury of time to play with, your game viewing experiences on a Kenya safari holiday will be rich and varied at any time of the year - read more about when to go to Kenya here.
