Migration
KENYA WILDLIFE
Heartland of the Masai warrior, Kenya has a history and culture that stretches back through time. Across its dramatic savannahs, the eye is drawn to the countless herds sweeping across the Masai Mara, whilst Lake Nakuru explodes into life with the arrival of millions of pink flamingos.
MASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE Home to the ‘Big Five’, the Masai Mara is the northern extension of Tanzania’s vast Serengeti plains and Kenya’s most famous game park. Here the endless struggle for survival plays out across the plains of this captivating land and each year, July to September, the Mara explodes into life with the annual migration.
GOVERNORS CAMPS, KENYA With award-winning luxury camps and lodges in some of Kenya’s best wildlife viewing areas, Governors’ Camps provide truly exceptional safari experiences. Used by the BBC for their recent ‘Planet’ programme, their Masai Mara camp on the banks of the Mara River offers unparalleled access to one of Africa’s premier game reserves.
MIGRATION RIVER CROSSING – JULY TO AUGUST The notorious crossing of the Mara River during the annual migration presents one of nature’s most violent and engrossing encounters. As the wildebeest gather in their thousands to make the treacherous crossing, the dark waters hide the waiting jaws of the Nile crocodile, ancient predators who await these pilgrims with relish.
AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK Lying within sight of the imposing shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro are the expansive plains and infinite skies of the Amboseli National Park. Home to the proudly independent Masai, its dry savannah thunders beneath the vast herds of elephants, whilst cheetahs, leopards, lions and hyenas hunt across the open grasslands.

LAKE NAKURU NATIONAL PARK Situated within the eastern Rift Valley of equatorial Africa, this shallow, alkaline lake is famously home to the breathtaking spectacle of the millions of flamingos that flock to its rich waters, turning the lake into a blaze of astounding colour.
LAKE NAIVASHA
Fringed by thick papyrus, Lake Naivasha lies at the southern end of the Kenyan Rift Valley and is home to a remarkable diversity of wildlife. Translating from the local Maasai as ‘rough water’, its fertile shores attract large numbers of hippos, giraffe and around 400 species of birds.
SAMBURU NATIONAL RESERVE Samburu National Reserve offers a rich diversity of habitats that encompass montane forests and acacia grasslands. Home to the semi nomadic Samburu, close relatives of the Masai, it is an area that provides some spectacular safari encounters and the waters of the Ewaso Nyiro attract a steady stream of animals to its lush banks.
LAIKIPIA PLATEAU The gateway into Kenya’s wild northern country, the remote landscapes of the Laikipia Plateau harbour one of Africa’s great conservation success stories. One of Kenya’s last great wilderness areas, these high scrublands and open plains contain some of the largest and most diverse mammal populations in the country.
