What people love about Safari Tours from Nairobi
- 10 Days Kenya Lodge Safari - Wildebeest Migration Safari 2025
We traveled with Zack just in time for the wildebeest migration, and wow—what a show! Thousands of animals crossing the Mara River, some barely escaping crocodiles. The meals were hot and fresh, transport was reliable even on muddy trails, and accommodations had a front-row view. The experience was unbeatable value for money!
- Kenya Tanzania and Zanzibar Safari + Beach
Safari plus beach is quite an experience. Thank you Nancy for organising and making our dream come true. Please pass our love to Kaka and Peter, such amazing souls.
- Affordable 3-Day Budget Luxury Masai Mara Safari in Kenya - With Free Night at Nairobi Hotel
Lovely Wildlife Trip! We enjoyed our 3 days safari drives in a new Land Cruiser with big open windows that provided us with fascinating views of the wildebeest migration and other wildlife in the Masai Mara Game Reserve. Our accommodation and food were nice and we got the feeling of being in the heart of life & nature in the jungle with experienced Bonvoyage driver-guide
What our customers ask about Safari Tours from Nairobi
What wildlife can I expect to see on a safari starting from Nairobi?
From Nairobi, you'll get to see the "Big Five" - lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo - plus many other animals like cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, hippos, and hundreds of bird species. The Masai Mara is especially good for seeing large groups of lions, and if you time it right, you can watch the incredible wildebeest migration. Over at Lake Nakuru, you'll spot flocks of pink flamingos and rare Rothschild's giraffes. As one TourRadar traveler put it: "We saw all that we wanted to see and more - from herds of majestic elephants to graceful giraffes silhouetted against the golden sunset."
What are the most popular national parks visited on safari tours from Nairobi?
When you take a safari from Nairobi, you'll likely visit the Masai Mara National Reserve, known for the great migration, and Amboseli National Park, where you get amazing views of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Lake Nakuru National Park is great for seeing flamingos and rhinos, while Lake Naivasha offers a different landscape. Some tours also take you to Tsavo West and Samburu National Parks. You can stay at places like Mara Sopa Lodge or Amboseli Sentrim Lodge while visiting these parks.
What's the best time of year for a safari tour starting in Nairobi?
The best wildlife viewing is from July to October during the dry season. This is when you can catch the great wildebeest migration in the Masai Mara. If you're interested in birds and baby animals, plan your trip between December and February. Most people book their safaris in July and August when the weather is perfect, with temperatures usually between 68-77°F (20-25°C).
How much should I budget for a safari tour starting from Nairobi?
You'll find safari tours ranging from 890 USD to 8,990 USD, but most people spend between 2,500-3,500 USD for a good mid-range tour. This usually covers your lodging, meals, game drives, and park fees. Don't forget to budget extra for tips (about 10 USD per person each day), and optional activities like hot air balloon rides over the Mara (450 USD) or visiting a Maasai village (30 USD).
What cultural experiences are available on safari tours from Nairobi?
You can visit Maasai villages to learn about their traditions, watch traditional dances, and see how local people live day to day. Many tours stop at these villages in the Masai Mara area, and some visit community projects like Café Ubuntu near Naivasha. These cultural visits usually cost about 30 USD extra. Here's what one TourRadar traveler said: "We experienced the wildlife, Maasai culture, local food and generally all there is to know about Kenya."
What's the typical length of safari tours starting from Nairobi?
Most people choose tours that last 5-7 days, though you can find trips ranging from 3 to 14 days. Shorter tours focus on must-see spots like the Masai Mara and Amboseli, while two-week trips often include more parks and might extend into Tanzania to see places like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "We saw all the parks and animals, and the 7-day duration felt perfect to experience the highlights without feeling rushed."
