What Kind of Tour is Best for a Kenya Safari?

You might ask, "Where do I start planning a Kenya safari tour?" Well, depending on what you want from your Kenya vacation, there are a few options…

When you choose a tailor-made luxury safari tour, Rhino Africa's Travel Experts will create a unique itinerary according to your wildest African dreams. Your accommodation, list of itineraries, duration, and locations are all handpicked and adjusted just for you and your preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tours and Safaris in Kenya

We've put a few questions our Travel Experts frequently get asked from guests when planning their own safari tours in Kenya – chances are you're asking them, too.

How Much Would a Kenya Safari Cost?

You can expect to pay between $200 to $3,000 per person per night. However, Kenya safari prices depend on factors such as the duration of your stay, accommodation choice, amenities, activities and the season, for example.

How Many Days Are Enough for a Kenya Safari?

We recommend spending no less than five nights on your Kenya safari tour. 

However, you could spend double that time in Kenya, having close encounters with wildlife in one of the many national parks, soaking up the sun on a beach vacation, and exploring the mountains, forests, deserts and lakes such as Lake Victoria.

Is a Maasai Mara Safari Worth it?

Absolutely! A Maasai Mara safari is undoubtedly worth it. It's one of Africa's most iconic safari destinations and is host to the Great Wildebeest Migration, where millions of wildebeest and other herbivores cross the Mara River in search of greener pastures. This offers endless opportunities for wildlife viewing, including sightings of the Big 5.

Moreover, the Maasai Mara's vast savannahs, rolling hills, and diverse ecosystems provide the perfect backdrop for unforgettable safari adventures and photographic opportunities.

When is The Best Time for a Safari Tour in Kenya?

Kenya is a fantastic year-round safari destination, but the best time to visit largely depends on what you want to experience.

Generally, the prime wildlife sightings, including the Great Wildebeest Migration, are between August and October. While December to March is best for beach days, birding, and wildlife viewing outside of the peak season. 

Finally, April and May bring the long rainy season, making it a less-than-ideal time to visit but pleasant nonetheless.

Our Travel Experts will guide you on the best time to visit, depending on the activities and experiences you're interested in.

What Destinations Should I Combine with Kenya?

Kenya pairs beautifully with neighbouring East African countries like Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda. You can explore the iconic Serengeti National Park and the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. 

At the same time, Rwanda offers incredible gorilla trekking experiences in the Volcanoes National Park, whereas Uganda combines gorilla and chimpanzee sightings in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga National Park.

Additionally, Kenya's coastal areas provide the perfect opportunity to combine your safari with a relaxing beach getaway in destinations like Zanzibar and the Seychelles.

What are The Best Activities to Do in Kenya?

Phenomenal Big 5 and other wildlife encounters are Kenya's trademark. However, here's a list of other top activities as curated by our Travel Experts.

  • Witnessing the Great Wildebeest Migration
  • Hot air balloon safaris over the Maasai Mara
  • Guided nature walks or walking safaris to encounter the smaller wildlife and birdlife
  • See the flamingos at Lake Nakuru
  • Go fishing at Lake Victoria  
  • Visit local Maasai villages to learn about their traditional cultures
  • Hike the scenic landscapes of Mount Kenya or the Aberdare Mountains
  • Snorkelling, diving and other water-based activities along the coast
  • So much more!

What is The Best Way to Experience Kenya?

We highly recommend a tailored luxury fly-in safari tour for your holiday in Kenya. This will simplify the logistics of getting around the vast country and give you a bird's-eye view of the Great Wildebeest Migration (seasonal) and other wildlife.
