Is Kenya safe for first-time safari travellers?

Yes. Kenya is one of Africa's safest and most organized safari destinations when travelling with a reputable operator such as Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya. The parks are professionally managed and transport is arranged in advance with guides.

What is the best time to go on a luxury safari in Kenya?

The best months for wildlife viewing are June to October and January to March. These dry periods offer easier game spotting, comfortable temperatures, and excellent lodge availability.

How many days should a first-time safari be?

A 3 to 6-day safari is ideal for first-time visitors. Shorter fly-in safaris to Masai Mara are great for beginners, while 5 to 6-day itineraries cover multiple parks such as Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara.

Which airport should I fly into for a safari in Kenya?

International travellers usually arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) in Nairobi. Safaris normally start from Nairobi, and Cruzeiro Safaris handles the transfers and onward journey.

Do I need a visa or vaccines to visit Kenya?

Most nationalities need an eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) before arrival, which is processed online. Routine travel vaccines are recommended, and malaria prevention is advised for safari regions.
