Africa has many countries where you can find awe-inspiring wildlife and where the big five are plentiful. We share three top spots for safari holidays...

If you’re looking for the best safari holidays in the world, then Africa is the place

But, with so many beautiful countries each offering a unique adventure, it might be hard to decide where you want to go for your next African safari. We will have a look at three top countries and what they have to offer. (But then again, you can always combine these countries and go on one Grand African Safari.)

Explore the magic of Kenya

Kenya is home of the Masai Mara National Reserve and played host to the Oscar-winning film, Out of Africa. With the breathtakingly magnificent savannah plains spilling over with wildlife, it is not difficult to see why Kenya is Africa’s top safari destination and why some even believe it is the birthplace of the safari holiday.

Kenya provides a diversity of experiences for all types of travellers and even experienced travellers will be left in awe of the beauty and wildlife the Masai has to offer.

Not to be missed is the great migration - the quintessential safari experience - in which millions of wildebeest cross the savannah in search of fresh grazing and water.

Amongst a large number of wild animals, the Masai Mara is also home to an abundance of lion, leopard and cheetah, and has more than 450 species of bird.

Your bucket-list for Kenya should include beholding Mount Kilimanjaro from the Amboseli National Park and visiting the Maasai tribal villages to get the full experience of their culture, tradition and vibrant red robes.
