Diani Beach is Kenya’s most famous coastal paradise, known for its pristine white sands, turquoise waters, and luxury beach resorts.
Safaris are available year-round, but the best time is during the dry seasons (June–October and January–February) when wildlife is easier to spot. The Great Wildebeest Migration in the Masai Mara and Serengeti typically occurs between July and October.
You can expect to see the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino), along with giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles, and hundreds of bird species.
