Best Scheduled Group Safaris in Kenya for 2025-2026 — Join one of our Scheduled Group Tours in Kenya and experience the wonders of the Masai Mara National Reserve—one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations. Often referred to as the crown jewel of Kenya’s wildlife parks, Masai Mara offers breathtaking game viewing, rich biodiversity, and the chance to witness the world-famous Great Wildebeest Migration.
Home to more than 95 species of mammals, reptiles, and amphibians—and over 400 bird species—the Mara is a wildlife enthusiast’s dream. Between June and October, over 1.5 million wildebeests, accompanied by zebras and Thomson’s gazelles, migrate from Tanzania’s Serengeti to Kenya’s Masai Mara in search of fresh grazing. This dramatic journey is one of nature’s most awe-inspiring spectacles.

Meet the Maasai – Kenya’s Iconic Indigenous Culture
No visit to Kenya is complete without experiencing the rich traditions of the Maasai people. Known for their colorful dress, warrior spirit, and deep-rooted customs, the Maasai offer visitors a unique cultural experience.
Daily Life and Traditions
The Maasai are semi-nomadic pastoralists who measure wealth by the size of their livestock herds. Their diet mainly consists of meat, milk, and blood from cattle. Social structure is organized by age groups, from young warriors to respected elders, and initiation rituals such as circumcision play a key role in transitioning through life stages.
Beliefs and Spiritual Life
The Maasai worship a single deity called Enkai, a god of nature and fertility. Their ceremonies and dances are deeply spiritual, often involving vibrant singing and the famous “jumping dance” (Adumu) performed by young warriors to demonstrate strength and stamina.
Clothing and Language
The Maasai are easily recognized by their red shukas (cloth wraps), intricate beadwork, and dyed hair. They speak the Maasai language, part of the Eastern Nilotic family, though most also communicate in Swahili, the regional lingua franca.

Best Time to Visit Kenya for a Safari
Kenya is a year-round safari destination, but the best times to visit are:
-
December to February – warm and dry, great for wildlife and birdwatching.
