The famous Maasai Mara National Reserve is situated in the southwest region of Kenya and borders the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to the south. The wildlife conversation is a prime example of rich wildlife diversity and is home to numerous animals, such as lions, elephants, cheetahs, rhinos, zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, and African buffalos. If you time your holiday accordingly, you will be lucky enough to witness the Great Migration, which is when more than two million zebras, wildebeest, and other herbivores embark on a trek from the southern Serengeti to Maasai Mara’s lush green grasses. Hailed as one of the seven wonders of the world, this sight should absolutely be a part of your Kenya tour.
There are 42 official tribes that exist in Kenya, of which the Maasai are regarded as the most iconic, which is why our Kenya travel deals also include a Maasai village visit where you get to interact with the locals, watch them put up a traditional performance, and also see how they live. Tourists can also book a game drive which lets you explore the park and witness the wild animals living in their natural habitat for about two to three hours. Yet another mesmerizing way to take in the Maasai Mara National Reserve is through a hot air balloon ride.
Seated on the floor of the Great Rift Valley is the Lake Nakuru National Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and hosts an abundance of wildlife. Surrounding Lake Nakuru, one can find several species of animals at this park, such as African buffalos, white rhinos, waterbucks, cheetahs, hyenas, lions, pythons, vervet monkeys, Rothschild giraffes, impalas, zebras, olive baboons. It’s also a haven for bird lovers, containing more than 400 species of birds, and some of the ones that populate the area include fish eagles, yellow-billed pelicans, kingfishers, and marabou stork. Since Lake Nakuru is an alkaline lake, it draws in numerous wildlife and birds to its shores. The park is also known for the astounding view of flamingos it offers to the tourists. During the peak season, one can witness almost a million flamingos gathering in the area, and the best place to take in this view is from the Baboon Cliff.
Nairobi isn’t just the capital city of Kenya but it’s also the largest city in the country. Our Kenya travel deals take you on a fabulous Nairobi city tour, covering some of the most popular spots, such as the Nairobi National Museum, the Kazuri Beads Factory, the Giraffe Centre, and the Karen Blixen Museum.

Located in Nairobi’s Mbagathi Ridge and established in 1975, the Kazuri Beads Factory is an artisan workshop that employs more than 300 women from neighboring villages. Items such as plates, cups, jewelry, and vases are made by hand by these talented artisans, who then hand-paint them to represent the diverse culture of the country. The Giraffe Centre was created by the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (A.F.E.W. Kenya). Walk around while an educator hands you some food pellets to feed to the giraffes and don’t forget to get a sweet little kiss from these majestic creatures before you leave.
