Receiving dry warm weather throughout August, with average temperatures reaching 25 degrees celsius, and rainfall just measuring to 60mm, Kenya is a magnificent country to take a trip to. Every year herds of wildebeests, gazelles,  and zebras migrate to Kenya in search of fresh grazing and water. This journey has become one of the most spectacular natural wonder on earth, with animals gathering in their millions every year in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. The herds of animals create a spectacular sight as they migrate clockwise up towards Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Reserve. However, this journey is not an easy one as the animals are constantly hunted (mostly by lions), and must cross crocodile inhabited waters, proving to be very dangerous.

With two of the most famous game reserves in East Africa; the Masai Mara and the Amboseli, this country promises a safari experience second to none. The Masai Mara Game Reserve is home to “the big 5”, more commonly known as elephants, lions, rhinos, buffalos and leopards. These magnificent animals provide visitors with captivating sights, and excitement, all year-round which makes Kenya a top safari destination.

Revered by the local Kikuyu tribes, Mount Kenya, an imposing extinct volcano (which is covered in forests, moorland and ice glaciers), is the highest peak in Kenya, towering over 5,000 metres above the African landscape. All of the fascinating wildlife, the coral reefs, forest reserves and a rich historical heritage make Kenya a captivating country.
