Kenya

A Land of Wilderness, Culture, and Coastal Splendor

Kenya is synonymous with adventure, offering everything from exhilarating safaris to peaceful beach getaways. Its diverse landscapes are matched by its cultural heritage, where Maasai warriors, Swahili traditions, and modern energy coexist beautifully.

  • Maasai Mara

    Famed for the Great Migration and home to the Big Five, the Maasai Mara offers exhilarating game drives, hot air balloon safaris, and cultural experiences with the Maasai people. This vast savanna promises one of the world’s most iconic wildlife experiences, especially from July to October.

  • Samburu and Northern Kenya

    A rugged, arid landscape distinct from other safari areas, Samburu is known for rare species like the Grevy’s zebra and offers a unique cultural immersion with the vibrant Samburu people. It’s a haven for those seeking an off-the-beaten-path wildlife experience.

  • The Kenyan Coast

    The Indian Ocean coastline features pristine beaches, historic sites like Mombasa’s Old Town, and a blend of Swahili culture. Visitors can enjoy water sports, marine life exploration, and the relaxed coastal lifestyle of Diani and Malindi.

  • Mount Kenya and Central Highlands

    With Africa’s second-highest peak, Mount Kenya, this region is perfect for hikers and nature lovers. The lush highlands, dotted with tea plantations and forests, provide both challenging treks and serene landscapes rich in local culture and biodiversity.

  • Lake Nakuru and the Rift Valley Lakes

    Renowned for flamingo-filled lakes and rich birdlife, the Rift Valley offers tranquil natural beauty. Lake Nakuru National Park is ideal for bird-watching and spotting rare species, with scenic views across the iconic Rift Valley escarpment.

Quiet Season

The best time to visit Kenya depends on the experience you're seeking. For safari enthusiasts, the winter months from late June to October are ideal, as this is the dry season, offering excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. The famed wildebeest migration typically reaches the Maasai Mara in August and remains until October, creating a breathtaking spectacle. If you're drawn to Kenya's pristine coastline, the peak summer months from November to March are perfect.

What to bring on your safari?

Above all, bring your curiosity, a sense of adventure, and plenty of storage space for photographs! For comfort on safari, opt for casual clothing that’s easy to wash and wear, with muted colours being ideal for blending into the surroundings during game drives. Since early morning and late afternoon drives can be chilly (especially in winter), dressing in layers is recommended to accommodate warmer midday temperatures.

Recommended safari packing list for Kenya:

  • Clothing in khaki, green, beige, or other neutral shades

  • Long-sleeved shirts (to protect from the sun and mosquitoes)

  • T-shirts

  • Shorts or a light skirt

  • Jeans or safari trousers for cooler days/evenings

  • Jackets or sweaters for chilly early mornings and late afternoons

  • A lightweight waterproof jacket for possible rain

  • Swim or beachwear

  • Comfortable walking shoes

  • Sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, insect repellent, moisturizer, and lip balm

  • Binoculars and camera equipment

If you’re taking a small aircraft, be aware that luggage allowances typically cap at 15 kg (33 lbs) total, including hand luggage. Most lodges and camps do offer same-day laundry service.
