‘Safari‘ is a Swahili word meaning a journey or travel. Kenyan safaris are one of a kind as they are filled with adventure guaranteed to give you a thrilling and exciting wildlife experience. As you rekindle your imagination through the sounds of a roaring lion, the thundering of hooves as the wildebeest make their migration, to the trumpeting of an elephant, Africa comes alive, right before your eyes.  It is at this point that you realise you’ve arrived in paradise, an African paradise.

Set yourself free and allow your senses to be tantalized as you pioneer through the Kenyan savannah. Kenyan safaris give you a wide range of safari experience options. Safaris can be differentiated according to the means of transport, namely road, air/flying, hot-air balloon, horse back and walking. They can also be differentiated according to the various experiences such as bird watching safaris, scenic safaris, honeymoon safaris, gastronomic safaris, beach safaris, cultural safaris and eco-safaris.

Kenyan safaris are tailored to suit your individual tastes, preferences and budget. From luxury safaris to those fit for budget back-packers, Kenya has it all.  The leading safari destination in Kenya is undoubtedly, the internationally acclaimed 8th Wonder of the World takes place here, the Maasai Mara Game Reserve. The Maasai Mara is well known for the Great Wildebeest Migration as they migrate from Tanzania’s Serengeti, to Kenya’s Maasai Mara.

Other game reserves and national parks include the Amboseli National Park, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha National Parks, Tsavo West and East National Parks and the Samburu Game Reserve to name a few.  It is important to remember and respect the rules and regulations of all the parks for your protection and the protection of the animals.  For this reason, it is important to take note of the safety precautions. A few examples of safety precautions and rules include:

  • Staying in your car when on a game drive – many of the animals you will come across are dangerous.
  • Always listen to your safari guide – your guide is well trained
  • Dress appropriately  – wear boots and long trousers when on a walking safari – in the case of stepping on a one of the various creepy crawlies such as scorpions, spiders or ticks around or in rare cases, a snake (which is highly unlikely) this will give you some level of protection against a bite or venom.

The multi-racial, multi-cultural historical connection behind safaris in Kenya, makes Kenya one the best safari destinations in the world.
