Browse our luxury safaris, budget packages, or safari & beach combinations to find the perfect fit.

Four days, two of Kenya’s best parks, and two genuinely excellent lodges – Sarova Lion Hill on the lake and Mara Serena inside the Mara Triangle.
Kenya is one of Africa’s most biodiverse and culturally rich nations. Here’s a snapshot of what makes it extraordinary.
US citizens require a Kenya Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA), which replaced the traditional e-Visa in 2024. It’s applied for online before departure, costs $34, and is typically approved within 72 hours. You’ll need a valid US passport with at least six months validity beyond your travel dates.
Kenya offers great wildlife viewing year-round, but timing matters. The Great Migration is at its most dramatic July–October, when river crossings peak in the Masai Mara. The dry seasons – January to February and June to October – offer the clearest game viewing across all parks. The green season (November – May) brings lush landscapes, newborn wildlife, and lower prices.
There are no direct flights from the US to Kenya currently. Most routes connect through Europe (London, Amsterdam, Paris) or the Middle East (Dubai, Doha) into Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. Total travel time from major US cities ranges from 16 to 22 hours. Booking early and flying business class on longer hauls is worth considering.
Neutral-colored, lightweight clothing works best on safari – think khaki, olive, and tan. Avoid white and bright colors, which can disturb wildlife and attract insects. Early morning game drives can be surprisingly cold, so pack a light fleece or jacket. A wide-brim hat, quality sunscreen, and sturdy walking shoes are essentials.
The Kenyan Shilling (KES) is the local currency. US dollars are widely accepted at lodges, camps, and national parks, making it one of the more convenient destinations for American travelers. Credit cards are accepted at most upscale properties, but carrying some cash in smaller denominations is advisable for tips, local markets, and remote areas.
The Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino – were originally named by hunters, but today they’re the most sought-after wildlife sightings on any Kenya safari. The Masai Mara and Amboseli are renowned for lions and elephants, Lake Nakuru for both black and white rhino, and the Laikipia Plateau for leopard sightings. A well-planned itinerary gives you a strong chance of seeing all five.
Kenya is a safe safari destination when you travel with a licensed, reputable operator. Game drives take place inside protected national parks and reserves where wildlife encounters are managed responsibly. Nairobi has areas that require the same common-sense awareness as any major city. Your guide will always brief you on safety protocols before and during game drives.
Tipping is customary in Kenya and forms an important part of your guide’s and lodge staff’s income. As a general guide, budget $10 – $15 per day for your safari driver-guide, $5–$10 per day for lodge staff, and $5 per day for trackers or camp assistants. Tips are best given in US dollars or Kenyan Shillings at the end of your stay or game drive.
Kenya is one of the world’s great wildlife photography destinations. A telephoto lens (200 – 500mm) is ideal for capturing animals at distance without disturbing them. Golden hour – the hour after sunrise and before sunset – produces the best light and often the most active wildlife. Always follow your guide’s instructions on when and how to photograph, especially around predators or nesting birds.
Consult your doctor or a travel health clinic at least 6 – 8 weeks before departure. Recommended vaccinations typically include Yellow Fever (required if arriving from certain countries), Typhoid, Hepatitis A and B, and a Tetanus booster. Malaria prophylaxis is strongly recommended for most safari regions. Pack a good insect repellent, stay hydrated, and ensure your travel insurance covers medical evacuation – a standard requirement for remote safari travel.
