Where to go
Six parks and reserves we work in every week, sorted by region. Each one is sold differently to travellers arriving from abroad and to residents driving out from Nairobi.
South-west Kenya
Masai Mara
Open grassland that runs to the horizon and the densest big-cat population in East Africa. From July the plains fill with the migration herds.
