Kenya Safari Tours

The original African safari — Maasai Mara, Samburu, Amboseli, Coast and the Rift Valley.

Why visit Kenya

Kenya is where the safari was born — and it remains East Africa's most rewarding introduction to the wild. In a single trip you can watch the Great Migration thunder across the Maasai Mara, see elephants beneath the snows of Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, and finish with warm Indian Ocean water on the Swahili coast.

Compact distances and excellent light-aircraft links mean you spend your time watching wildlife, not driving between it. World-class lodges and tented camps span every budget, and Kenya's Maa, Swahili and Kikuyu cultures add depth well beyond the game drives.

Whether it's your first safari or your fifth, our Nairobi-based team builds each Kenya itinerary around your dates, pace and interests.

Best time for a Kenya safari

July to October is peak for the Maasai Mara and the Great Migration, with dry, clear game viewing. January–February is warm and dry with superb resident wildlife, while the long rains of April–May bring the lowest prices and the quietest plains.

Kenya safari FAQs

How many days do you need for a Kenya safari? +

Most travellers spend 5–8 days to combine the Maasai Mara with a second park such as Amboseli or Lake Nakuru. Shorter 3–4 day trips focus on a single reserve; two weeks lets you add the coast.

Is Kenya safe for a safari? +

Yes. Kenya is one of Africa's most established safari destinations. Tours run with professional guides in the national parks and reserves, and we plan routes around current travel advice.

What's the best time to visit Kenya? +

July to October is prime for the Maasai Mara and the Great Migration. January–February is warm and dry with excellent resident wildlife. The long rains of April–May are the quietest and cheapest.

Do I need a visa or vaccinations for Kenya? +

Most visitors need an electronic travel authorisation (eTA), and a yellow-fever certificate is required if arriving from a risk country. Confirm the latest requirements with your doctor and the Kenyan authorities before travelling.
