The stages

Kenya is the safaris destination by excellence; it is the territory of large predators and of the massaï people at the same time. Its capital, Nairobi, is generally the starting point of a trip in the heart of the animal reserves. The country also offers to the travellers the opportunity to cool off by the beaches of Mombasa - in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.

MASAÏ MARA

The western part of Kenya could be summarized in two words: Massed Mara. This sublime reserve of 1,510 km2 which holds its name from the river crossing it, offers stunning images of an hilly savannah filled with acacias.

The Masai Mara looks like a real film set and has inspired many films and cartoons like the famous King Lion. It is difficult to summarize in a few words the beauty of these landscapes which need to be discovered at least once in your life. The most extraordinary experience is the great annual migration which takes place in July - August, during which thousands of wildebeests cross the Mara river towards the neighbouring Tanzania.
