There’s a reason why Kenya is the home of Safaris. The word ‘safari’ which means ‘Journey’ in a broader sense originated as a synonym for game viewing in Kenya and Tanzania. Safari as a word went on a semantic drift from meaning ‘game hunting’ to ‘game viewing’. The man who popularized the word ‘safari’, Ernest Hemingway, actually started out as a hunter before he found love for conservation. Now, when people talk of an African safari, they mainly think of game viewing in East Africa.
Kenya safari are among the best in Africa, thanks to the country’s wealth in wildlife populations, expansive unspoiled landscapes, unique land formations, and rich culture. You can find almost all of Africa’s majestic wildlife in Kenya; from lions, leopards, elephants, and rhinos to pangolins, caracals, bushbabies, and the bizarre-looking gerenuk (an antelope that wants to become a giraffe)
Tourists on their Kenya safari tours are spoilt for choice. You can spend the mornings on a Maasai Mara safari and find yourself lounging at a beach in the evening. You can climb Mount Kenya, touch Africa’s second highest point one day and explore deep gorges the next day.
Our Kenya safari packages tour the following notable locations
The Maasai Mara is famous for its scenic landscapes, rich wildlife population, and the fascinating culture of the Maasai people. A Maasai Mara safari, more often than not, guarantees you’ll see the Big 5; Lions, Elephants, Leopards, Rhinos, and Buffaloes, alongside numerous wildlife species. You’ll also get to see how the Maasai people live alongside these majestic creatures.
One of the park’s main attractions is the great migration. If you time your Masai Mara safari right (From July to October) you’ll see millions of wildebeests, zebras, elands, and gazelles cross the Mara River. The park also offers tons of outdoor activities like hot air balloon rides and horseback safaris.
If you love elephants, then Amboseli is the place to visit. This park is unrivaled when it comes to elephant populations in Kenya. Your Kenya safari in Amboseli is sure to be a memorable one as the park also features a diverse wildlife population. From rhinos, giraffes, and antelopes to lions, hyenas, cheetahs, and wildebeests; there will be no shortage of game views on your Amboseli safari.
The park's size, not too big and not too small either, makes it ideal for a short Kenya safari. When it comes to activities, the park does not disappoint. You can go on walking safaris, balloon safaris, and boat cruises on top of your game safari.
These two Rift Valley lakes are a popular tourist destination, not only for their views, but the number of outdoor activities you can partake in. Lake Nakuru, for starters, is nestled inside Lake Nakuru National Park which is rich in wildlife and birds. Most tourists on a Lake Nakuru safari visit the park to see the millions of beautiful flamingos covering the lake.
Lake Naivasha, on the other hand, may not be as awe-inspiring as Lake Nakuru but it takes the cake in things to do. You can go on a boat ride in the vast lake, visit the crescent island, climb Mount Longonot, or visit Hell’s Gate National Park. Hell’s Gate is the only national park in Kenya where you can cycle while viewing game.
