Planning a Kenya holiday

Each year, roughly from July to October, vast herds of wildebeest and zebra move north from Tanzania's Serengeti into the Masai Mara, braving crocodile-filled river crossings as lions and cheetahs follow. Beyond the Mara, Amboseli frames elephants against Kilimanjaro, and Nairobi has a giraffe centre and an orphanage for baby elephants.
