8 Days The best Of Kenya

The original safari dates back to the 14th century when Arabs made their trading trips to east Africa.

They weren’t really interested in wildlife back then as their main focus was trade, but these journeys, just like classic safaris, were planned for months, hence the term safari.

Over time, Kenya wildlife safaris developed a new meaning when visitors, especially from Europe, started streaming into the country to escape bitter winters and to experience the African jungle up close.

Today, there are more than 10 ways to explore the country including: Kenya family safaris, Kenya camping safaris, Kenya honeymoon safaris, Kenya beach safaris, Kenya wildlife safaris, small group journeys, and more.
