Safari in Kenya

Safari in Kenya an unforgettable experience

This is what a Safari in Kenya looks like:    

Kenya ranks number one among the best safaris in Africa. The many reserves are even considered to be the very best in the world. It is therefore the biggest attraction in Kenya.

And no safari in Kenya is complete without looking the King of the Savannah straight in the eye, without counting the stripes of the zebra or riding past gracefully galloping giraffes as the setting sun shines its golden rays over the vast plains. Welcome to the safari parks of Kenya!

1. A safari in Kenya covers 22 national parks and 32 nature reserves.

2. During a safari in Kenya you will find the entire Big Five in almost all national parks.

3. A safari in Kenya is often best done in the high season: then the grass is lower and all the animals gather around scarce water sources. Easy spotting!

4. The African elephant you can see here is the largest land animal in existence.

5. Safari in Kenya doesn't just mean savannah landscape: how about volcanic rock formations, lakes full of flamingos or thundering waterfalls in jungles?

During a safari in Kenya, we also organize visits to the Samburu, this is a people group that strongly adheres to their ancient values.

What does a Safari in Kenya look like:

• A safari in Kenya is done in 4X4 jeep (or on foot, or by bicycle or on horseback), with plenty of space to look and photograph. From our jeeps you can take photos from the open roof. Our driver is highly trained in spotting animals and he searches the plains, trees and bushes for animals. On some safaris in Kenya you also have a spotter.

• A safari in Kenya usually starts early in the morning. This has several reasons. It is still cool at that time and relatively many animals are out to eat. You may also encounter nocturnal animals, including those that have just woken up. It is also much better for photos, because early in the morning the light is best for your photos. When it gets too hot, many animals take shelter, so you see far fewer animals. While all predators hunt when it is cool, so you miss that too.

• The Masai Mara is world famous for a Safari in Kenya. The reason is because you can see many different types of animals here. But it is very busy during the peak seasons, so you sometimes literally have to join the queue. But you have more choices for a safari; such as safari in Tsavo (famous for its many elephants), Safari in Nakuru (unprecedented number of flamingos and that attracts other animals), Safari in Amboseli (many large safari animals such as elephant, buffalo and giraffe)...

• If you want to see exceptional animals during your safari in Kenya, then you should do a safari in Samburu National Reserve, where you will see animals that you cannot spot anywhere else in Africa in nature, such as the Grévy zebras, the Reticulated Giraffe, the Beisa Oryx, the Generuk and the Somali Ostrich.

• A Foot Safari in Kenya is also possible in various parks including Solio Ranch.

• If you want to take a cycling safari in Kenya, we can also offer you all this, as well as a horseback riding safari in Kenya.

• During your safari in Kenya you can also meet the last 2 white rhinos of the Northern Breed. You can find this in Ol Pejeta National Reserve.

A safari in Kenya is a photo and/or film expedition. The word comes from Swahili where it means “Long journey”. This word is ultimately derived from the Arabic word “safar” which means “journey”.

A safari in Kenya without a safari is like traveling with your eyes closed.

The word safari in Kenya is now synonymous with a tour through African countries where you visit one or more safari parks.  Tourists "shoot" big game with their photo or film cameras. The tours through the natural parks are also called "game drives".
