Casting an eye further north, exciting safari adventures await on the Laikipia Plateau and in Samburu County—each meriting a visit. South of the Mara, venture into the heart of Maasailand in Amboseli and the Chyulu Hills, where elephant herds gather in the shadow of formidable Mount Kilimanjaro. A Kenyan safari offers breathtaking natural beauty in one of the world's most pristine environments, allowing you to get up close and personal with Africa's most coveted wildlife. We promise you an unparalleled luxury Kenyan Safari & Tour, tailored to your preferences. Whether you're planning a family-friendly vacation, a romantic honeymoon, or a photographic safari, we ensure a unique and unforgettable experience on the African continent.

What to Expect on a Luxury Safari in Kenya

In Kenya, luxury safaris primarily centre around exhilarating game drives, the quintessential way to observe wildlife. Your days will be meticulously planned with early morning and afternoon drives. At sunset, indulge in sundowners—traditionally a gin and tonic, though you might opt for a delightful drink from a tailgate mini bar—served at a picturesque spot. Depending on your camp or lodge, savour a gourmet, multi-course dinner with fellow guests, enjoy a private meal in your room, or dine al fresco in the bush. As the night unfolds, gather around an outdoor fire, stargaze under the pristine African sky, partake in a night game drive (location permitting), recline on a star bed, or retreat to your luxurious room to rest for the next glorious safari day. Diversify your adventure with activities like hot air ballooning over the Mara, guided bush walks, visits to community or conservation projects, horseback riding, camel safaris, mountain biking, fishing, scenic flights, and so much more. Kenya abounds with luxurious tented safari camps and lodges, set amidst diverse landscapes ranging from open savannah to acacia woodlands, grasslands, coastal beaches, and broadleaf forests.

A Safari to the world-renowned Masai Mara

Kenya’s biggest attraction is the natural movement of mega-herds – wildebeest, zebra and gazelle – following the summer rains and sweet grasses in an annual pilgrimage called the Great Migration. Depending on when your Kenya safari takes place, you may witness the life-and-death struggles of the Mara River crossings or dramatic encounters with Africa’s top predators on the open plains.

What Wildlife Will I See on a Kenya Safari?

Kenya’s 40-plus national parks, reserves, and private conservancies are home to a diverse range of wildlife—some 25,000 animal species. Depending on the area(s) you visit during your luxury Kenya safari, you might observe buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion and rhino, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, cheetah, hyena, warthog, antelope species (impala, gazelle, eland, kudu), and hippo and crocodile in rivers or waterholes. Specifically, the Maasai Mara and its adjacent private conservancies, are famous for its concentration of big cats and herds of wildebeest that visit by way of the Great Migration. Elephant lovers should fix an eye on Amboseli National Park, home to the Amboseli Trust for Elephants, the longest-running elephant study in the world. In northern Kenya’s Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy pay a visit to the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary. You’ll be paired with an elephant keeper to learn how Africa’s first community-owned sanctuary “rescues to release.” Kenya’s rhino populations have suffered a tragic story, falling from some 20,000 members in the 1960s to ~600 today. The market for illegal rhino horn still prevails which contributes to rhino recovery’s limited success. Where preserves and sanctuaries have been established, they require round-the-clock armed protection against poachers. Exciting opportunities to sight endangered black and white rhinos exist in Meru National Park, Lewa Conservancy, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Borana Conservancy, Lake Nakuru National Park, and Nairobi National Park. In February 2024, 21 black rhinos were introduced to Loisaba Conservancy. Kenya is a haven for birdwatchers, boasting more than 1,100 recorded bird species. The country has a diverse range of habitats, from arid deserts to wetlands, which provide ideal breeding and feeding grounds. In particular, the Rift Valley lakes (Lake Nakuru, Lake Baringo, and Lake Naivasha) attract many migratory and resident birdlife. The Mara is also a popular spot for birdwatching, with 470 bird species on record. Kenya icons include the crowned hornbill, African fish eagle, scarlet-chested sunbird, and large concentrations of flamingos.

When is the Best Time to Go on Safari in Kenya?

There is no “bad” time to embark on a safari in Kenya. Yet, the months of July, August, and September during the dry season are often recommended for those seeking iconic moments of the Great Migration. During these months, you may witness the dramatic spectacle of a river crossing as immense herds of wildebeest and zebra, along with the predators that follow them, gather throughout the Maasai Mara. Nevertheless, travellers should not overlook the charm of visiting during the less crowded, off-peak "secret season." During this time, intermittent showers refresh the landscape, cloaking it in lush, verdant green hues, offering an intimate and serene wildlife experience.
