Why choose Kenya for safari?

Direct answer

Kenya invented the safari and remains a top-tier destination with the Masai Mara Great Migration (July–October), Amboseli elephants with Kilimanjaro views, 25 national parks, and direct flights to Nairobi from Europe and the Middle East. Big Five viewing, Maasai culture, and infrastructure from budget camping (USD 150/day) to ultra-luxury fly-in camps (USD 1,500+/night) suit every budget.

Overview

Uganda combines mountain gorilla trekking, classic savannah game viewing, chimpanzee tracking, birding, and cultural experiences in a compact circuit. The right answer depends on your dates, fitness, budget, and whether you travel with a licensed operator who handles permits, road logistics, and park regulations.
