East Africa is the spiritual home of safaris and Kenya is still the most popular safari destination for visitors to Africa keen to see the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros and buffalo) and vast herds of plains game. Those prepared to venture beyond the standard safari itineraries and escape the crowds will find a country with an incredibly diverse ecosystem, stunning unspoilt scenery, fabulous wildlife and one of the few places in Africa with a strong traditional tribal life.
