Overview

Holidays in Kenya are full of endless savannah, vibrant wildlife, snow-capped volcanoes and brooding mountain peaks. Lush jungles meet tropical palm-fringed beaches, diversity has no limits in the borders of Kenya.

Whether you’re relaxing and taking in the views from your safari lodge, wandering with elephants as the sun sets or following a herd of wildebeest on the largest mammal migration on earth – nothing you do here will be ordinary. If you want to hear about one of our intrepid travellers’ journeys, read about it in The Times.

Kenya is also a country that boasts an incredibly rich culture and heritage. With our local hosts you will experience the warmest hospitality and meet so many interesting local people, and it is that that really adds magic to your holiday in Kenya – so no more waiting, let’s go to Kenya.

What our travellers are saying...

This bucket list trip was more than just a journey to Kenya. It was a journey of the heart, a testament to the power of love and the resilience of my spirit. It was a chance for us to find hope and beauty in the midst of a difficult time, and to create memories that will last in our hearts!

Peak Season, January-March & July-October. This period is the busiest, which of course means heavier crowds and higher prices, but also the weather is dryer and some wildlife is only visible at this time.

Low Season, April-June. This time is much less busy and cheaper, however, there is more likely to be a few hours of rain each day. Also, the wildlife isn’t as active at this time of year so safaris are quite different.

Top tips for holidays in Kenya

Explore beyond the Safari – Kenya has some beautiful towns and coastal areas, we love taking our travellers here and it is definitely worth the trip.

Bring a reusable water bottle – Tap water here isn’t safe to drink, so be sure to bring your own water bottle that you can fill up at water stations.

Learn Swahili phrases – English is widely spoken, but learning a few Swahili phrases like “Jambo” (hello) and “Asante” (thanks) can go a long way.

Take care of the wildlife – we only use responsible safari guides who protect the local wildlife, so when planning your trip always be mindful of this.

Unmissable Highlights

Boat Safari – When you think about safari its not always on a boat, although this is the best way to see a lot of wildlife, especially sea birds, fish, hippos, crocodiles and so much more. If you’re lucky you could see an eagle swoop down to catch a fish, not something you’ll see at home.
Kakamega Rainforest – The lush, dense jungles of the Kakamega rainforest are a truly remarkable sight. As Kenya’s only tropical rainforest this is a great place to see a lot of unique wildlife like the porcupine, loads of different species of monkey and of course the baboon.
Volcano hike – Go for a walk up one or more of the many volcanic craters that make this landscape so unique. Take in the breathtaking panoramic views of the rift valley and maybe watch as the sun rises over the plains and lakes.
