“The trip completely exceeded our expectations, even despite it not being ‘peak season’ we were able to tick off Africa’s Big 5 on the very first game drive. This was in no small part down to our guide, Bonnie…”

Planning a Kenya safari from Switzerland
With one connection and only one or two hours’ time difference, Kenya is a practical long-haul trip from Switzerland. A week is a good length, and fly-in routes let you see more without long road days.
Choose where you sleep first, because a camp in the right place saves you hours of driving each day. Our head guides, Boniface Kamau and John Mithamo, each have more than 20 years in these parks, and every trip is private, with your own vehicle and guide from start to finish.
Do Swiss Citizens Need a Visa for Kenya?
Swiss passport holders need an electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) before they fly. Kenya’s official eTA portal lists Switzerland as eTA required. The standard eTA costs $30 and is generally processed within three business days.
Since 5 October 2026, most visitors must also buy Kenya’s mandatory inbound travel insurance before they travel, through the eTA application or the eCitizen portal. A foreign policy does not count towards this, so keep your own insurance as well.
The Federal Department of Foreign Affairs publishes travel advice for Kenya in German, French and Italian. Read it before you book.
Flights from Switzerland
There are no direct flights from Zurich to Nairobi. One-stop routes run through Istanbul, Addis Ababa, the Gulf or other European hubs. Kenya is two hours ahead of Switzerland in winter and one hour ahead in summer.
Fly-In or Road
Flying between parks takes about an hour on many routes and saves the 5 to 6 hour drive from Nairobi to the Mara. Light aircraft limit luggage, usually to about 15kg in a soft bag. Our fly-in or road guide compares the two.

Frequently asked questions
Do Swiss citizens need a visa for Kenya?
You need an eTA, applied for online at etakenya.go.ke before you travel, and Kenya’s mandatory inbound travel insurance. The standard eTA fee is $30.
How long is the flight from Zurich to Nairobi?
There are no direct flights. Most journeys connect once, through Istanbul, Addis Ababa, the Gulf or another European hub.
Should I fly between parks?
It saves time and suits shorter trips. Road trips cost less and let you stop when you see something.
Are your prices in Swiss francs?
No. We quote in US dollars, because camps and parks charge in dollars.
How much does a Kenya safari from Switzerland cost?
The trips on this page start at $1,950 per person, excluding international flights.
When is the best time to go?
June to October for the long dry season and the migration, or January and February for a winter break.
