What people love about Safari Tours from Nairobi to Mombasa
- 7 Days Kenya mid range Joining Safari
The communication with John was very good. He was very responsive and answered all of our questions. At first we were slightly hesitant to do a down payment but this is just how safari operators work and in the end was nothing to worry about, it all went fine. The safari was great! The 4x4 van was very comfortable and steady and brought us to the most remote places of the parks. Kennedy, our driver, was awesome and has a lot of knowledge on the animals, the country and is an amazingly skilled driver. He made our safari just as we wanted it and was as thrilled to see animals as we were. We saw all of the Big Five and managed to get very close to them. Thank you so much Kennedy and John!
- 5 Days Kenya medium range safari for Amboseli and Tsavo Parks from Nairobi to Mombasa
I would highly recommend CKC Tours. John responded to all our queries promptly and went back and forth until we had an itinerary we were happy with. We were then met by John at the airport and given all the documentation for our trip which included lodges at Masai Mara and Amboseli and internal flights. It was all very easy and well organised. I also found it to be very competitively priced considering the service we received and the standard of accommodation.

What our customers ask about Safari Tours from Nairobi to Mombasa
What is the average tour length for Nairobi to Mombasa safaris?
Most trips between Nairobi and Mombasa run 8-10 days, though you can find options from 5 to 14 days. Popular tours like the "Kenya Odyssey" take 8 days, while the "Magic of Kenya Safari" spans 10 days. Many travelers on TourRadar suggest booking tours with at least 2 nights at major parks like Masai Mara and Amboseli - this gives you enough time to really experience the wildlife without feeling rushed.
What kind of wildlife can typically be seen during these tours?
You'll likely spot all of the "Big Five" - lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos and buffalo - as you travel between the parks. Amboseli is especially great for watching elephant herds with Mt. Kilimanjaro as their backdrop, while Tsavo East is known for elephants that look reddish from rolling in the soil. One TourRadar traveler shared: "The variety of wildlife was incredible - from the flamingos at Lake Nakuru to the lion prides in Masai Mara. Our guide Simon was exceptional at spotting animals and explaining their behaviors."
What are the typical distances covered on a Nairobi to Mombasa safari tour?
The full journey covers about 500-600 kilometers (310-373 miles). You'll drive about 215 kilometers (134 miles) from Nairobi to Amboseli, another 150 kilometers (93 miles) to reach Tsavo West, and then 230 kilometers (143 miles) for the final stretch to Mombasa. One TourRadar traveler said: "The landscapes in this tour are insane!" - and they're right, you'll see everything from grasslands to mountains along the way.
What is the average duration of a safari tour from Nairobi to Mombasa?
Most people choose tours that last 7-8 days, though you can find trips from 5-10 days. The Kenya Odyssey is a good example - it includes two nights in Masai Mara, one night at Lake Naivasha, one night in Amboseli, and time to relax in Mombasa. This setup gives you enough time to see lots of wildlife and unwind at the beach without feeling too rushed.
What accommodation types can I expect on a Nairobi to Mombasa safari tour?
You'll stay in a mix of places along the way. In Nairobi, expect modern hotels like the Eka Hotel or Hilton Garden Inn. During safari portions, you'll sleep in comfortable lodges like Amboseli Serena or Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge, where you can often see animals right from your room. Once you reach the coast, places like Southern Palms Beach Resort & Spa offer nice beachfront rooms. As one TourRadar traveler put it: "The food was delectable, and the resort was luxury!"
What would be an example itinerary between Nairobi and Mombasa?
Here's what a typical 3-day safari looks like: You'll leave Nairobi and head to Amboseli National Park for afternoon wildlife viewing, spending the night at Amboseli Gateway Hotel. The next day starts with more animal watching before driving to Tsavo East National Park to stay at Sentrim Lodge. On your final day, you'll do one more morning game drive through Tsavo East before reaching Mombasa in the early afternoon. One TourRadar traveler shared: "The itinerary was perfectly paced, allowing us to see incredible wildlife while maintaining comfort between destinations."
