What people love about Kenya Tours
- Kenya Wildlife Safari
I absolutely loved this trip!! Camping in an unfenced site in Masai Mara with only Masai warriors to protect us from the wild life, eating amazing authentic Kenyan food prepared by our local and very own chef, seeing the big 5 many times over, making 22 new friend from 11 nations … These were some of the highlight of this amazing trip.
- Kenya Wildlife Safari
Overall, this was an extraordinary experience! Everything about this country beat my expectations. The people are proud of where they live and incredible (the friendliest of any country I’ve ever been to). The scenery is stunning, and driving anywhere you are constantly seeing something new, interesting and different. Traveling with a small group, in an overland truck and camping in tents is an affordable way to go on safari for anyone who wants to experience some of the greatest countries in Africa. There are plenty of other ways to see it – on private safari’s, in land cruisers, luxury tented camps and lodges, but camping in such a place just feels right. Go to Kenya!

It was well organized and our tour guide John was really knowledgeable about everything! Would do another trip with them again!

"Peregrine Tour – Classic African Safari Feedback Overall experience: Excellent The principal objectives of this tour were all achieved. We were able to view and photograph nearly all the animals we hoped to see. We had good leaders and drivers and excellent company. Accommodation was satisfactory to excellent and transport was effective if subject to a few deficiencies. There were some hiccups but there was clearly a desire on the part of Peregrine to rectify these as possible. Health and safety One concern as that the transport truck on the last two legs had problems with broken bindings for one of the fuel tanks. The door to the passenger compartment also was jammed and could not be opened from the inside – a worry when we found ourselves sitting directly above the unsafe fuel tank. The door problem was eventually rectified but the fuel tank bindings broke a second time. Itinerary This was comprehensive and a reason we felt this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience most of the attractions of east and south Africa. The trip was certainly undertaken in an environmentally and socially responsible way. Culture We had good interactions with Maasai people, San bushmen and the Cape Malay community as well as with accommodation staff and other guests at the relevant venues. Local drivers/guides for the game drives were also communicative. Accommodation Most venues were excellent. There were some changes from the advised itinerary (which others in the party were given advanced warning of but we were not). Some of these were probably a change to better facilities (e.g. Lake Nakuru Lodge rather than Sleeping Warrior tented camp & Trailblazers Camp rather than Dqae Quare Lodge in Ghanzi). However, inability to stay a second night at Mopane Lodge, Damaraland and the need to move to Khorixas Rest Camp was a definite downgrade. Also the inability to stay at Namibia Desert Lodge and diversion to Swartfontein Hunting Lodge was a major problem given the additional time (2h15m each way) to reach Sossuvlei and Sesriem, despite the excellence of the Lodge itself. Half our group opted not to go on that day trip because of the additional time and the state of the vehicle. Transport – poor Activities – Excellent Meals – excellent The transport was something of a let-down. We appreciate that availability of good appropriate transport in Africa may be limited and what there is may suffer greatly regularly because of the state of the roads. Our benchmark was the truck used when we toured with Peregrine in Mexico last year which had been much more upmarket. However we had problems with each of the trucks used in Africa: 1) Kenya. Reasonable truck. There was no air-conditioning but it was not required in those temperatures. No microphone system for leader. Did have fridge and lockable safe. 2) Maasai Mara. Appropriate vehicles for game drives. Because of rains, tracks had become muddy and local drivers did not appear to have either expertise or equipment to cope and frequently got bogged. This caused a delay of over an hour for us to be picked up after a balloon ride. 3) Tanzania. Truck seemed similar to that used in Kenya but had problems with engine pressure and stalling so (thankfully) we had more time in game drive vehicles than planned. The truck also proved to be very leaky in both passenger and luggage compartments. 4) Victoria Falls-Cape Town. Truck was smaller than the previous two with uncomfortably narrower seats. There was a roof that could be raised but this was unsuitable unless people were very tall. The bindings securing it were continually failing so it rattled throughout. The actual roof was quite low and a real hazard for taller members of the group. It was not a suitable vehicle for an extended game drive (for which it was scheduled in Etosha) as those on inner seats would have had very limited views. The entire group opted to pay an additional US$90 each to use game drive vehicles provided by the lodge. There was an air-conditioning unit of variable effectiveness and initially it leaked badly and had to be switched off. There was no safe or fridge available. More seriously, half way across the Namibian desert, bindings for the second fuel tank broke. Some of the passengers helped to secure it temporarily with a chain and it was “repaired” in Swapokmund but promptly broke again the next day. Safety issues with the jammed door are mentioned above in “Health and Safety”. The transport company replaced the vehicle with a “Sprinter” bus which gave a much more comfortable ride over rough roads but had more limited viewing facility. 5) Namibian border. Because of the change of vehicle, the exit bureaucracy at the Namibian border caused major problems. The transport company were reputedly “too busy” to forward replacement papers for a few hours and we had to wait for 3-4 hours before we could leave the country. Crew Our leader on the first leg was excellent with good local knowledge and excellent communication skills. He demonstrated extraordinarily good prediction skills about the likely movement of animals. He was responsive to the needs and request of the group. The driver on our first leg was competent and safe. Our leader on the second and third legs was also first rate, enthusiastic, approachable, organised and communicative. Both leaders showed a commitment to a high level of responsible tourism. The driver on our second and third legs was also safe and helpful although did get caught a couple of times exceeding the local speed limit (we felt sorry for him as the signs had not been all that clear and helped with his instant fines). The roads were challenging to say the least and he coped well with the difficulties and the broken fuel tank straps. He was rather shy socially but did join the group and we enjoyed looking at his family photos. Booking process There were many emails back and forth but the local contact was always patient and helpful. Trip notes Some of these were out-of-date when we travelled but we had not been notified of alterations, especially regarding changes of accommodation (some others had received updating emails). Had the change to Swartfontein Lodge been notified well in advance with a caution about the transport distance but a well-deserved complimentary description of the lodge, this would have caused less disgruntlement among the party. General comment Peregrine may not be the cheapest tour company but do have a commitment to quality. When inevitable problems arise they do make a strong effort to ameliorate or correct them.

Discover Kenya tours for every budget
Looking for good value wildlife viewing? Our budget safaris run 3-6 days and pack in the highlights. The Masai Mara tours really shine when done by 4x4 instead of minivan - our customers love the basic but well-placed camps where lion roars drift across the plains at night and mornings bring wildebeest and zebras right to your doorstep. Over at Lake Nakuru, you'll spot rhinos and flamingos on game drives, plus take boat rides among the hippos at Lake Naivasha. Many budget tours include a free night in Nairobi to start, and some add visits to Maasai villages where you can join traditional dances and support local crafts. The 3-day Amboseli tours are a customer favorite, giving you amazing elephant encounters with snow-capped Kilimanjaro as your backdrop.
Our premium Kenya tours go for 7-10 days and focus on those special touches that make all the difference. You'll stay at fantastic lodges with infinity pools where animals drink, private viewing decks and rooms filled with local art. The experiences are pretty special too - think high tea at Joy Adamson's old Lake Naivasha home and dawn balloon rides over Masai Mara with champagne breakfasts in the bush afterward. We use top-quality 4x4s and our guides know exactly where to position for perfect photos. Many tours head to the quiet Loita Hills where you'll meet Maasai communities still living their traditional ways. Our travelers particularly love those thoughtful extras - hot water bottles warming their beds after evening game drives and elegant dinners served under starlit skies.

Solo travelers looking to explore Kenya have several thoughtfully designed options that balance safety, social interaction and authentic experiences. Our most recommended solo tours include Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara combinations, where you'll join small groups in comfortable 4x4 vehicles. Solo travelers consistently praise the cooking classes in local villages and the camaraderie that develops during shared game drives. The tours starting in Nairobi often include urban adventures that help you get your bearings while meeting fellow travelers. Many solo guests highlight the Tepesua Village visits as a standout experience, where you can learn about Maasai women's initiatives and join community activities. These tours also build in enough personal time to process the incredible wildlife encounters you'll have each day.
Young adults seeking active safari experiences have several high-energy tour options. The most popular choices combine classic game drives with adventurous additions like mountain biking around Lake Naivasha and walking safaris in private conservancies. Many tours include pre-dawn starts for sunrise balloon rides over Masai Mara, followed by bush breakfasts while watching the plains come alive. Our younger travelers particularly enjoy the camping options that put you right in the middle of the action - falling asleep to distant lion roars and waking to zebras grazing nearby. The cultural elements are equally engaging, with chances to join Maasai warriors around evening campfires and learn traditional hunting techniques. These tours tend to be faster-paced with full days of wildlife viewing and also cultural immersion.
Families traveling to Kenya have some excellent safari options that really cater to kids' interests and energy levels. Our most popular family tours include visits to the Langata Giraffe Sanctuary where children can get up close to these gentle giants while learning about conservation. The Lake Naivasha region works perfectly for families - you can cycle around the lake shores, take easy guided walks to spot monkeys and giraffes, and cool off in lodge swimming pools between activities. Many families tell us the Masai Mara portion is a highlight, with well-paced game drives and camps located just outside the reserve where kids can safely watch wildlife from the grounds. Our travelers particularly praise the educational aspects, like learning about Maasai culture firsthand and discovering how different animals behave in their natural habitat.
