How to plan your Kenya safari holidays

So you are dreaming about seeing wildlife in Kenya on safari holidays. Here are some ideas for making your travel planning easier and making sure you see best of Kenya wildlife, including the big five.

When to go?

Speaking about the time of your visit to Kenya, let’s first decide what the purpose of your trip is. If it’s seeing a wildebeest migration in Masai Mara when these animals cross the Mara River, the answer is very clear: this famous spectacle takes place between late July, early August and the end of November. Just to be clear, that is not 100% predictable, but the concentration of animals in Masai Mara in this period is usually higher.

South coast and glacier tour in Iceland

For some time already my dream was to walk on a glacier. It became a reality in Iceland with Reykjavik Sightseeing and Icelandic Mountain Guides. I was invited to take their South coast and glacier tour. So let’s start from the very beginning. We started our trip from Reykjavik. In order to reach our incredible destinations we made our way through farming lands and passed small villages. The views of pastures with beautiful Icelandic horses were just spectacular. The first stop was the rugged Sólheimajökull Glacier located some 160 kilometres and a bit more than 2 hours driving distance from Reykjavik. Sólheimajökull is an outlet glacier that flows from the main almost 1500 metres high Mýrdalsjökull glacier where the Katla Volcano rests. Walking on the glacier wearing special crampons on my shoes and exploring the amazing glacier myself was a very special experience. Read more about walking on the glacier here.
