Our verdict
Kenya, country in East Africa: 53 million inhabitants, capital Nairobi , crossed by the equator. One of the most popular safari destinations in the world thanks to the Masai Mara and the Great Migration (1.5 million wildebeest + 200,000 zebras crossing the Mara River from the Tanzanian Serengeti each year July-October).
Plan your trip
Hotels at their lowest outside peak season, highest on comfortable months. Shoulder seasons offer a good price/climate compromise.
