Southern Kenya Holidays

What can you find in Southern Kenya that you won't find anywhere else?

Southern Kenya holidays are a powerful force in the safari world – the scale of national parks and game reserves is mammoth and the region is easily one of the best on the globe for close encounters with an array of wildlife, including ‘the Big Five’. This huge natural bounty is there for the taking: watch hulking bull elephants silhouetted against the awe-inspiring Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli National Park; hold your nerve as lions saunter around your 4x4 in the enormous Tsavo National Park, and don’t move a muscle as a herd of wildebeest drink from a water hole in the iconic Masai Mara. Southern Kenya’s geography is another compelling facet to a trip within its borders – the craters, forests, simmering volcanoes and mineral lakes that form part of the Great Rift Valley are an otherworldly natural playground that display some of Africa’s most exhilarating landscapes. Chyulu Hills is yet another wildlife sanctuary well worth visiting and its rolling emerald volcanic ridges are one of the best points to view Mount Kilimanjaro from. Southern Kenya’s astounding natural appeal is matched by its fascinating people and culture, so as part of your Southern Kenya holiday, spend time spend time getting to know the local people and their way of life.
