Explore Kenya
While Uganda and Rwanda stand out for dense rainforest primate trekking, Kenya is the ultimate global powerhouse for traditional, wide-open vehicle game drives and dramatic wildlife spectacles
Adventure to the world class tourism destination
Kenya safaris offer world-class wildlife viewing, highlighted by the iconic Maasai Mara, Amboseli’s stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro, and the endangered rhinos of Ol Pejeta. Typical packages range from $300 to $1,000+ per person per day, depending on your choice of budget, midrange, or luxury accommodations
If you want the classic safari with the Great Migration, go June-October. If you want fewer crowds, cheaper rates, and green scenery, go Jan-March or Nov-Dec.
Kenya is one of Africa’s top safari destinations because you get the Big Five, the Great Migration, and a mix of landscapes all in one trip. It’s easy to reach via Nairobi and has options for luxury lodges, budget camping, and everything in between.
Kenya Safaris
Central Kenya: This is typically where all Kenya safari itineraries start, as Nairobi is the country’s logistical hub. The area around Nairobi also has plenty of conservation areas, the most popular being Nairobi National Park, Lakes Nakuru and Naivasha as well as the Aberdare Mountains. The land is green and lush during the rainy season while the lakes attract plenty of bird- and wildlife.
Western Kenya: The biggest reason that the Masai Mara attracts the Migration is because its open, flat savannah produces superb grazing. There are few thickets, forests or high peaks: the wide landscape is a safari classic with green grass that turns golden as the seasons pass. The plains attract game like reticulated and Masai giraffe, topi, Thomson’s gazelle, and are dotted with occasional flat-topped acacia trees.
Northern Kenya: The further north you travel, the drier and hillier the landscape becomes as the area doesn’t benefit as much from the rains received by the south-west of Kenya.
That being said, there are still superb safari options here, including Samburu National Park, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and Laikipia. The more arid conditions suit species like gerenuk, the Somali ostrich and Grevy’s zebra. Lewa is also the best place in Kenya to see rhino regularly and consistently. On a clear day, you may be lucky enough to see Mounts Kenya and Meru.
Southern Kenya: Amboseli National Park in Kenya offers stunning views of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa, despite the mountain being located in Tanzania. The park features diverse landscapes, including savannah, wetlands, and woodlands, supporting various wildlife. In addition, Kenya’s southeastern coast is home to beautiful beaches like Diani and Galu, ideal for water sports and relaxation, along with snorkeling and diving opportunities at Funzi Island.
