Kenya Safari Tour Reviews
- Kenya Maasai Mara BIG 5 Safari 7 Days **Sustainable Approach to Travel
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.

Great trip to the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. CEO (Joseph) and driver (Maurice) were excellent.
- 07 Days Kenya Rhino Safari & Mombasa Beach Holiday Package
My children can’t stop talking about this trip. Zack was patient and full of fun facts for them. We played games during transport, had kid-friendly meals, and stayed in a lodge with a swimming pool. They saw monkeys and rhinos and loved every minute. Best family bonding trip we’ve had.
What our customers ask about Kenya Safari Tours
What are the best months to visit Kenya for wildlife viewing and safari experiences?
Kenya's prime wildlife viewing unfolds from July to October coinciding with the Great Migration in Masai Mara. During this period more than 1.5 million wildebeest make their dramatic crossing of the Mara River. The January to March dry season also offers excellent viewing opportunities in parks like Amboseli and Lake Nakuru where animals gather around water sources. A TourRadar traveler noted: "We experienced incredible wildlife sightings in Masai Mara during September watching thousands of wildebeest crossing while predators followed close behind."
What types of accommodation options are available on Kenya safaris?
Kenya's safari accommodations span from basic to luxurious with options that fit various travel styles and budgets. Masai Mara features high-end properties like Mara Sopa Lodge alongside authentic bush experiences at Lenchada Tourist Camp. Similar variety exists in Amboseli where travelers choose between established lodges like Sentrim and more rustic options at Kimana Camp. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The accommodations exceeded expectations - from the beautiful Mara Sopa Lodge overlooking the savanna to the intimate tented camps that brought us closer to nature."
How many days should I plan for a Kenya safari to see the major highlights?
Most travelers find that 6-8 days provides enough time to experience Kenya's key wildlife areas. A well-planned itinerary typically allocates 3 days for Masai Mara 2 days exploring Lake Nakuru or Lake Naivasha and 2-3 days in Amboseli National Park. One TourRadar traveler commented on the 8-day National Geographic Journeys safari: "The itinerary was perfectly paced giving us enough time in each location to really experience the wildlife and landscapes without feeling rushed."
How much do Kenya safari tours typically cost per day?
Daily rates for Kenya safaris range from $300 to $700 depending on comfort level and activities. Budget-conscious travelers can find camping safaris starting at $200-300 while luxury lodge experiences start from $500. These rates usually cover lodging meals game drives park entrance fees and guide services. A TourRadar review stated: "The 8-day National Geographic Kenya Safari at 675 USD per day was worth every penny for the quality of lodges expert guides and incredible wildlife experiences."
Are Kenya safaris suitable for families with children?
Kenya welcomes family safaris though most tours set minimum age requirements between 6-12 years. Family-friendly properties like Mara Sopa Lodge and Sentrim Amboseli offer suitable amenities including family rooms and swimming pools. According to a TourRadar family: "Our 8-day safari with Perfect Wilderness Tours was fantastic for our kids aged 10 and 12 - the guides were patient and made wildlife viewing fun and educational."
What is the typical daily schedule on a Kenya safari?
Safari days begin early with game drives starting at 5:30-6:00 AM followed by breakfast at camp. Midday brings time for relaxation before afternoon wildlife viewing from 3:30-6:00 PM ending with dinner. A TourRadar traveler described the rhythm: "Days started early with coffee and sunrise game drives in Masai Mara followed by hearty breakfasts at Mara Sopa Lodge. Afternoons were perfect for relaxing before evening drives when animals were most active."
