Kenya Tours & Trips

The Masai Mara really delivers as one of Africa's top safari spots - our travelers regularly see all of the Big Five: lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo and also rhinos, often much closer than expected. Nothing beats watching the great wildebeest migration, when masses of animals thunder across the plains in what many call nature's greatest show. Beyond spotting wildlife, you can visit real Maasai villages to learn about their daily life and traditions, which adds genuine cultural depth to your safari experience. The wide-open savannah creates perfect conditions for morning and afternoon game drives, while meeting local Maasai people gives you authentic cultural insights that our customers always mention in their reviews. If you're into photography, early morning and late afternoon offer the best light for capturing wildlife, especially the big cats that are most active then. The reserve is known for hot air balloon rides too - floating above the plains gives you a totally different perspective of the animals and landscape below.

Spot flamingos on Lake Nakuru, witness rhinos in their natural habitat, and explore the acacia forests. Discover waterfalls, observe diverse bird species, and enjoy game drives in Lake Nakuru National Park.

Under the gaze of Mount Kilimanjaro, lies Amboseli National Park. Map out your route from Nairobi as this diverse ecosystem spreading from Kenya to Tanzania is home to many animals including large herds of elephants and an abundance of birds. Perfect for bird lovers and saferi enthusiasts!

Mount Kenya delivers fantastic climbing, and our travelers keep telling us how impressed they are with the food quality - from traditional dishes, fresh ingredients and also excellent vegan options that keep energy levels high during the trek. The local guides really make this experience special by sharing their deep knowledge of wildlife, plants and regional stories along the way. They're particularly good at managing that demanding summit section, keeping safety as the priority while making sure everyone feels good about reaching the top. Here's a practical tip from recent climbers: pack a headlamp since the bunk rooms on the route don't have built-in lighting. Our groups consistently mention how well the guides help them deal with altitude changes, especially as they move through different zones - from dense bamboo forests, through heather moorlands and also rocky peaks.

Spot the Big Five in the Maasai Mara, marvel at the pink flamingos at Lake Nakuru, and witness the annual wildebeest migration. Enjoy a hot-air balloon at sunrise ride and visit the iconic Amboseli with Mt. Kilimanjaro in the backdrop.

Want to climb one of Africa's highest peaks? Mount Kenya's technical routes deliver the real deal for serious mountaineers. The full 7-day climb takes you through dense forests and up to the challenging Nelion (5,188m) and Batian (5,199m) peaks - you'll pass through several climate zones which keeps it interesting. Many of our clients go for the 5-day Sirimon-Chogoria route; it's got great variety and the morning light from Point Lenana at 4,985m is worth every step. Our porters and guides know their stuff, especially when it comes to local plants and animals. You'll need to be properly fit since some days stretch to 12 hours of walking, but the camp locations work well for getting used to the altitude. The mountain food gets good reviews despite the remote cooking conditions, though expect basic and sometimes busy mountain huts in peak months.

Kenya offers immersive, hands-on wildlife experiences that go far beyond traditional game drives. On our 8-day Samburu and Masai Mara tours, you’ll track endangered black rhinos on foot with expert rangers in Sera Conservancy, an unforgettable experience praised by many travelers. You’ll also witness the fascinating Samburu "singing wells," where locals sing traditional songs while watering their livestock, and dine under starlit skies before heading out on nighttime safaris to spot elusive nocturnal animals. For the best wildlife sightings, plan your trip during the dry season, when animals gather around water sources. Other unique experiences include morning visits to see sand grouse gathering at natural wells and exploring the Kalama Conservancy in search of the "Samburu Special Five": reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, beisa oryx, Somali ostrich, and gerenuk. Shorter 5-day wildlife tours offer equally exciting highlights, such as raised bunkers at Aberdare, where you can watch animals visiting lit-up waterholes at night, and visits to Lake Nakuru, known for its vibrant flamingo flocks and iconic species like white rhinos, Rothschild giraffes, and lions. Across all tours, travelers value the combination of active wildlife encounters and the chance to connect deeply with Kenya's incredible biodiversity and local traditions.

Kenya's explorer tours take you through prime safari territories over 7-10 days, kicking off in Nairobi. Our customers absolutely love starting their days with balloon rides over Maasai Mara - there's something magical about floating above the plains while watching animals start their morning below. You'll spend time at Lake Nakuru National Park which has Kenya's biggest rhino population, plus you'll see pelicans and flamingos gathering at the alkaline lake. Many people choose to add a few days at Mombasa's beaches after all the wildlife viewing. If you're short on time, the 7-day tours focus purely on wildlife - you'll head to Amboseli National Park to see elephants with Mt Kilimanjaro in the background and also visit Lake Naivasha where boat rides bring you close to hippos and loads of bird species.
