We had an awesome time on Kenya safari this year with Bonvoyage Safaris. The timely park drives was so amazing! Our English - French guide David was very professional. We saw all the Masai Mara Big five Animals and Amboseli elephants in a comfortable safari vehicle with sun roof. Keep up! We will visit again soon for wildebeest migrations in July.

We absolutely loved our safari. Patrick knows how to reach out and create the adventure we were looking for. It was action packed adventure filled with interesting activities from the moment we landed in Nairobi. Kamau was our guide for the whole duration and he knew his stuff well. We experienced on the wildlife, Maasai culture, local food and generally all there is to know about Kenya. Game drives in Masai Mara were the highlight of the safari where we saw so many animals. The camps were also a great way to experience nature. I highly recommend.
Kenya Maasai Mara BIG 5 Safari 7 Days **Sustainable Approach to Travel - D
Debbie • traveled in July
We loved the variety of this tour - safari by vehicle, hot air balloon, bike, boat, and foot. The accommodations ranged from basic to good, so this tour is best for those who don’t need luxury accommodations, which we did not. The food was always very good and plentiful. We had 2 guides - Nathan and Tony, and both were excellent. They were friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and good drivers. The optional tours need to be updated on the description of the tour, as inflation has caused an increase in prices. The hot air balloon safari was $450/pp (a wonderful experience with a nice champagne picnic breakfast afterwards). The Massai village visit was $25/pp. We recommend both. Bring lots of cash for drinks, souvenirs, and tipping. We underestimated and ran out, but our guide made a stop at a bank for us to get more. Good communication and customer service from the tour company as well. Overall an incredible vacation. We will be back in Kenya in the future and would definitely use this company again.

Best tour companies for Kenya tours
Looking at these safari operators in Kenya, Perfect Africa Safari stands out with guide George getting lots of praise from travelers for going beyond typical game drives. They're known for weaving in authentic cultural experiences and consistently finding great wildlife viewing spots. Their personalized approach means you're not just following a rigid schedule but getting a safari that fits what you want to see. Bon Voyage Kenya Safaris offers good value and comfortable jeep transport, but you'll want to read the fine print carefully. Some guests have mentioned unexpected changes to their plans and extra costs that weren't clear at booking time. CKC Tours hits a sweet spot with fair prices and attentive service. Both John, who manages everything, and Simon who leads the tours, really know their stuff. They're quick to respond to questions and adapt tours to match what their guests are looking for. For lodging choices, you might want to skip Rhino Camp unless you're okay with pretty basic facilities. Several travelers have noted issues with cleanliness and comfort levels there. If you're after a more comfortable stay, it's worth looking at other accommodation options that these operators work with. These companies all run tours in the same areas, but it's the little details in how they operate that make the difference. Perfect Africa Safari and CKC Tours seem to have the edge when it comes to overall satisfaction, especially if you value personal attention and well-organized trips.
Best places to start your Kenya tour
Pretty much all our Kenya safaris - about 95% - kick off from Nairobi, though you can start from Mombasa too if you prefer the coast. Looking at our booking data, you'll want to lock in your tour roughly 68 days ahead, especially if you're keen to catch the Migration or stay at popular lodges. The basic accommodations might not be fancy, but our travelers say the wildlife more than makes up for it - just bring cash for park fees. Mixing wildlife viewing with visits to real Masai villages adds something special to the trip - loads of our customers say it's a real highlight. Most people find 10-14 days hits the sweet spot for seeing Kenya properly, giving you time to explore different parks, spot wildlife and soak up the culture. While tented camps might be simpler than lodges, they often give you the real deal safari experience - there's nothing quite like falling asleep to the sounds of wildlife nearby.

Best time to visit Kenya
- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter safaris in Kenya blend perfect game viewing with seasonal highlights that make the experience special. Amboseli really shines in winter, when fresh mornings deliver crystal views of Kilimanjaro's snowy peak while elephants roam the plains below. Our safari groups love the morning drives in Masai Mara, where lions and leopards stay active in the cool air with fewer visitors around compared to peak months. Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and also Lake Bogoria create natural stopping points between parks, letting you watch flamingos color the waters pink and take boats past lounging hippos. Most tours feature dawn balloon rides above Masai Mara topped off with champagne breakfasts, while guided walks on Crescent Island bring you closer to giraffes, zebras and other wildlife. To add cultural depth, we take you to Maasai villages in Loita Hills, where locals share traditional dances and artisan crafts. The luxury safari options include comforting details like hot water bottles in your bed after evening drives, and private decks overlooking waterholes where elephants gather. Winter tours typically span 7-10 days, giving proper time to explore Kenya's varied ecosystems while staying at carefully chosen lodges and tented camps positioned for prime wildlife viewing.

- Spring 2026
Spring in Kenya offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities, with 7-day safaris blending Lake Nakuru's rhino populations and flamingo flocks into intensive Masai Mara game drives. Our travelers tell us they love the morning balloon rides over the plains, watching wildlife wake up from above before settling in for champagne breakfasts. The Amboseli section gives you perfect shots of elephants with Mount Kilimanjaro's snow-capped peaks in the background - especially clear during spring mornings. Tours mix traditional game drives with village experiences, where you'll join Maasai communities and learn their dances, songs and also traditions. Those seeking more action can join walking safaris or take boat rides on Lake Naivasha, getting close to hippos, fish eagles and even ospreys. We've picked lodges and tented camps in prime wildlife spots, and our guides know exactly how to position vehicles in that golden morning light for the best photos.

- Summer 2026
Our summer Kenya safaris really shine with 7-8 day wildlife tours that put you right where the action is when animals are most active. The Masai Mara comes alive as the Great Migration picks up speed - you'll find yourself holding your breath watching wildebeest brave the Mara River crossings while crocodiles wait in the waters below. Families love the extra touches we include, like meeting the resident giraffes at Langata Sanctuary and cycling around Lake Naivasha's shores. The lodges strike that sweet spot between comfort and authentic safari feel. For something different, we take small groups to Loita Hills where you'll spend evenings sharing stories with Maasai warriors around the campfire and learning firsthand about their way of life. Our premium tours add those special extras - think infinity pools where you can watch elephants at the watering hole, early morning balloon rides and elegant high tea at colonial homesteads near Lake Naivasha.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn in Kenya offers perfect wildlife viewing, and our travelers get the most out of 7-10 day tours covering multiple parks. The Masai Mara is still fantastic - head out early to catch lions and leopards on the hunt, then swing by the Mara River later to watch hippos splash and crocodiles sun themselves. Over at Lake Nakuru, you'll spot rhinos and massive flocks of flamingos, while Amboseli gives you those perfect shots of elephants with Mt Kilimanjaro as your backdrop. We mix in genuine cultural experiences too, like visiting Tepesua Village where Maasai women run their own craft workshops. Our premium options level up the comfort with luxury lodges, private viewing decks and those thoughtful touches like finding a hot water bottle warming your bed after evening game drives.

What wildlife can I expect to see in Kenya?
Kenya is absolutely teeming with incredible wildlife - it's one of those places that'll leave you breathless. The legendary "Big Five" roam freely through the national parks and reserves - you've got your lions leopards elephants rhinos and buffalo. But that's just the beginning. Zebras giraffes antelopes and countless bird species call this place home too. Head to the Maasai Mara and you might catch the Great Migration — honestly it's mind-blowing watching millions of wildebeest and zebras make their journey. Over at Amboseli National Park you'll get these stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro while watching massive elephant herds do their thing. Lake Nakuru's pretty special too with its flamingo flocks and healthy rhino population.
How can I experience Maasai culture in Kenya?
There are some really authentic ways to connect with Maasai communities especially around the Loita Hills and Masai Mara regions. Tour operators can set you up with village visits where you'll get to hang out with local communities learn about their ancient traditions and see their vibrant dances up close. You can even step inside a traditional Maasai home which is pretty incredible. Perfect Africa Safari travelers tell us these interactions are super insightful and on the Kenya Family Safari tour visitors get this amazing welcome from Maasai Warriors complete with traditional songs and dances in the Loita Hills — it's the real deal where you'll learn their history and customs firsthand.
What are the best national parks to visit for a safari in Kenya?
The Masai Mara's definitely the superstar here — it's where you'll catch that incredible Great Migration with millions of wildebeest and zebras crossing the plains. Amboseli National Park gives you these postcard-perfect views of Kilimanjaro with plenty of elephants roaming around. Lake Nakuru's got this amazing thing going with its flamingo populations and solid number of rhinos. If you're looking to dodge the crowds Samburu National Reserve is your spot. They've got what they call the "Special Five" — the reticulated giraffe Grevy's zebra beisa oryx Somali ostrich and the gerenuk. Pretty unique stuff you won't find many other places.
What is the best way to get around during a Kenya safari?
Most safaris run with 4x4 vehicles that are specially kitted out for off-road travel and wildlife viewing. If you're covering big distances like going from Samburu to Masai Mara you'll probably hop on some internal flights to save time. You can go private if you want total control over your schedule or join a group tour if you're up for sharing the experience with other travelers. Take that "8 days Samburu & Masai Mara Safari" tour — they've got it sorted with internal flights between parks making everything super smooth and efficient.
