Kenya Tours for Seniors
The 7-day safari tours work beautifully for seniors looking to experience Kenya at a comfortable pace, with strategically chosen lodges that put excellent wildlife viewing right at your doorstep. Our travelers tell us they love thoughtful features like elevated viewing decks, and well-timed game drives through Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. There's a nice cultural dimension too - you'll have high tea at Joy Adamson's Lake Naivasha residence, and spend time connecting with Maasai communities. The lodges hit just the right notes with infinity pools that let you watch elephants drink while you relax, spacious rooms and also private balconies overlooking the savannah. The guides know exactly how to adjust the pace for each group, combining morning wildlife spotting with laid-back afternoons. For a gentler way to see the wildlife up close, we include boat safaris on Lake Naivasha where you can spot hippos, countless bird species and also other animals without any strenuous activity.
