Kenya

Pioneering tourism models and prolific wildlife, If anywhere were to lay claim of hosting the ‘soul of safari’ it may well be Kenya

The country’s wildlife is a major attraction, drawing travelers from around the world. With the famous Great Rift Valley cutting through its heart, Kenya is home to an array of wildlife, including the iconic African “Big Five” – the lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros. The spectacular annual wildebeest migration, one of the most impressive natural events on Earth, further solidifies Kenya’s reputation as a premier safari destination.

Traveling to Kenya provides a rich sensory journey. The country’s natural environment, from vast savannahs to abundant wildlife, offers a striking visual and auditory experience. The scents of the African bush and the sounds of wildlife contribute to a vivid and immersive atmosphere. Additionally, the warm hospitality of the Kenyan people enhances the experience, adding a personal dimension to the journey. Kenya’s diverse landscapes, ranging from mountainous regions to coastal areas, along with its unique wildlife, form an integral part of the travel experience. This combination of natural wonders and cultural encounters leaves a profound and lasting impression on those who visit.

Best time to visit Kenya

The best time to visit Kenya largely depends on one’s interests and preferences. Generally, the dry seasons, from June to October and January to February, are considered the most favorable for wildlife viewing, as animals congregate around water sources. However, the wet seasons, from March to May and November to December, offer lush, verdant landscapes and fewer tourists, providing a more intimate experience with nature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kenya

How much does a safari to Kenya cost?

Our private safaris to Kenya begin at around $800 per person per day. This is a general estimate; costs will increase accordingly should private helicopter or fixed-wing charters, as well as the most exclusive safari accommodations be required.

How much time do I need for a safari in Kenya?

A minimum of ten nights is advisable to experience Kenya’s diverse regions. Many travelers also choose to spend additional days at the coast for relaxation and a change of scenery after the safari.

What is the best way to travel around Kenya?

Due to the significant distances involved, we typically use light aircraft charters such as the Cessna C208 or Pilatus PC-12. For particularly remote regions, we may recommend Airbus H125 helicopters, supported by remote fuel depots, to access areas without standard airstrips.

Why would I choose Kenya rather than Tanzania?

Kenya’s varied landscapes are generally easier to access, with less time spent on connections between locations. Interactions with local communities often feel more genuine, and Kenya is recognized for its rhino conservation efforts. Safaris here may also present a cost advantage compared to those in Tanzania.

When is The Great Migration?

This wildlife movement is continuous, and it passes through Kenya typically between August and September. While many consider these months to be prime viewing times, the Migration itself does not adhere to a strict schedule.
