What a Kenya safari actually costs, when the herds really arrive, which camps are worth their rate. Written by the people who drive the roads and sit at the sightings, not by anybody selling you a brochure.
Wildlife, weather, crowds and price move independently through the Kenyan year. The best time to visit Kenya depends on which of the four you care about. Here are all twelve months, plainly.
Read the articleAmboseli Short safari
One night in the elephant park beneath Kilimanjaro. An Amboseli safari from Nairobi is four hours on good road, which is what makes two days genuinely worth doing.
Nairobi National Park Day trip
A Nairobi National Park day trip covers the only national park inside a capital city. Rhino, lion and giraffe against the skyline, with park fees included in the price.
Masai Mara Flying safari
Forty-five minutes in the air instead of six hours on the road. A Masai Mara flying safari gives you as much time in the reserve over three days as a five-day road trip does.
Every safari on this site comes as a printable itinerary with day-by-day detail, what is included, and the price. Send it to whoever you are travelling with. We will add you to a short monthly note on when to travel and what it costs, and nothing else.
