Best: Year-round
Did You Know?
Buffalo hold grudges. Individuals have been documented returning to attack hunters weeks after an initial encounter — behaviour unique among African game.
The Full Story
Deceptively calm-looking, the African buffalo is statistically the most dangerous of the Big Five. Herds of thousands move through the Maasai Mara and Tsavo, creating some of the continent's most dramatic wildlife spectacles.
Conservation Status: Least Concern
Your visit to Kenya directly supports the conservancies and rangers that protect these animals. Every tour booking contributes to sustainable wildlife conservation in East Africa.
