Five legends of the wild

Lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino — the encounters every safari dreams of.

Lion
01

Lion

The shadow in the grass

At dawn the Mara belongs to the lion. A flick of a tawny ear, a yawn that shows the whole story of the night before — then the pride settles into the gold, watching the plains the way kings watch a kingdom. You will hear them before you see them.

Best seen: Maasai Mara · Year-round, early morning
Leopard
02

Leopard

Written in the branches

The leopard is a rumour you learn to read — a tail hanging from a sausage tree, a kill stashed where the lions cannot reach. Solitary, secretive, impossibly elegant. Spotting one is the quiet triumph every guide lives for.

Best seen: Maasai Mara & Samburu · Dusk
Elephant
03

Elephant

Memory that walks

Against the snows of Kilimanjaro, the elephant herds of Amboseli move like grey weather. Matriarchs remember every waterhole and every drought. Sit long enough and you will see a family — calves, aunts, elders — and understand why they are never in a hurry.

Cape Buffalo
04

Cape Buffalo

The old general

They call him "the widow-maker," but mostly the buffalo just stares — a long, level, unimpressed stare from beneath a helmet of horn. In great herds they darken the plains; alone, the old dagga boys are the most dangerous of all the five.

Best seen: Lake Nakuru & Maasai Mara · Year-round
Rhinoceros
05

Rhinoceros

The armoured survivor

To find a rhino today is to meet a survivor of a vanishing line. Prehistoric, near-sighted, magnificent — black and white rhino still hold their ground in Kenya's guarded sanctuaries, and seeing one completes the five.

First time I used the service of Phine Safari’s was in 2016. It was good. After 9 years when I wanted to book a tour in Kenya, I didn’t hesitate to use them again and the service was exceptional. I have a toddler who had motion sickness even that Perpetual and Julius took care and made our holiday memorable. Highly Recommended .

Thank you immensely to Phine Safari! Professional, responsive, competent, friendly... Phine Safari took us to the top of Mount Kenya (after 4 days of trek) then we continued with a safari in several reserves and lakes (thanks also to our driver Molioky, thank you to him also). 10 days of unforgettable holidays. I highly recommend using this agency !!

We had a great Kenya/Tanzania safari tour. Kelvin from Phine Safaris arranged a perfect tour for us. Both guides from Kenya (Julius) and Tanzania (Mpoly) are great. We saw all the wildlife we were hoping to see including over 60 lions and even got to witness the once-in-lifetime magnificent wildebeest crossing Mara river. The two guides are super knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about the animals as well as traditional way of living. We were amazed that they even memorize all the bird species. In addition, all the lodges are well situated with personalized service. It was such a memorable experience for my family, especially for my 80 year old parents. I can't thank Kelvin and the guides enough for creating such an unforgettable experience for us!
