1. Choose the Right Safari Style: Road or Flight?
If you love scenic drives and want to experience Kenya’s landscapes up close, a road safari is perfect. Choose from classic routes like the 4-Day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari or the 6-Day Amboseli–Nakuru–Masai Mara package.
Prefer to skip the road and fly straight into the heart of the wild? Try a flight safari like the 3-Day Masai Mara Fly-In Package or the luxury Governor’s Camp Safari for that once-in-a-lifetime experience.
2. Know When to Go
June to October is peak safari season. If you’re visiting during this time, don’t miss the 3-Day Wildebeest Migration Safari. Want quieter moments and green landscapes? Travel in the shoulder seasons for lush scenery and better deals.
3. Combine Parks for Variety
Kenya has more than just Masai Mara. Mix up your itinerary with parks like:
- Ol Pejeta & Mount Kenya – 2 Days
- Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru – 2 Days
- Samburu and Masai Mara – 5 Days Luxury Safari
4. Try a Fly-In Experience
Save time and arrive in style with a 4-Day Fly-In Safari. Perfect for luxury seekers or travelers with tight schedules. Lodges like Keekorok Lodge and Mara Serena Safari Lodge offer breathtaking views and top-class service.

- Walking with wildlife at Crescent Island
- Photography-focused safari tours
- Escape to Africa: Masai Mara Classic Safari
