Top Safari Attractions in Kenya
Kenya safari tours offer countless opportunities to see wildlife up close and personal. Visitors to Kenya are either going on safari or taking a beach break, or looking to combine the two. In the event of any, Kenya’s wildlife game parks and coastal beaches make the country one of the best destinations for a holiday to Africa. Most visitors arrive in Nairobi, the capital, where the majority of Kenya safari holidays commence and most National parks and reserves are within a day’s drive. Popular Kenya safari packages include a couple of nights in the Masai Mara, combined with a night or two in Lake Nakuru National Park or Samburu National Reserve, or a combination of 1 or 2 nights in both Amboseli National Park and Tsavo.
Longer Kenya tours combine the Kenyan parks with those in Tanzania’s Northern Circuit. Adventure-seekers will want to explore the rare Kenya holiday packages to northern deserts or climb Mount Kenya. If you are seeking a days quick adventure outside Nairobi, Hells Gate National Park in Naivasha offers a good combination of hiking, bicycle riding safaris on top of game viewing.
Should you choose to lounge on the beach in Mombasa, that doesn’t mean you have to forgo the Kenya safari; a night or two can be spent at nearby parks such as Tsavo which offer you a memorable Kenya safari plus beach holiday.
To plan your Kenya safari tour to more than one park or game reserve in Kenya, you’ll need at least a week, with a couple of nights at each to make the most out of early-morning and late-afternoon game drives, when animals are most active.
We do not recommend leaving any Kenya safari Holiday planning until your arrival in Nairobi unless it is a late decision to visit Kenya.
For all accommodation arrangements from airport transfers, domestic flight arrangements, safari vehicle facilitation, you can rely on a reputable Kenya safari operator. Trust your Kenya safari operator to have intimate knowledge of every corner of the country you would like to visit and also to provide your a suitable Kenya Vacation all inclusive of the costs. There are quite a number of Kenya Tour operators and it’s worth obtaining a quote from a few of the before deciding. At Masai Mara Holidays (Ltd), our Kenya tours and safaris, will give you the best possible safari experience combining visits to some of the country’s top parks.
Kenya safari tours can explore Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya, which is situated at an altitude of about 6,000 feet and translates to “place of cool waters” in the Maasai language.
The city has many attractions, including the National Museum that features paleo-anthropological discoveries, botanical drawings, and tribal paintings. The Snake Park, with over 200 species of reptiles, is located across from the museum. The Municipal Market on Muindi Mbingu Street offers beautiful curios that you can bargain for.
The Nairobi Race Course hosts horse racing on Sunday afternoons in season, and the Carnivore is famous for its tasty selection of meats cooked on giant grills. The Karen Blixen Museum, the Bomas of Kenya, and the Giraffe Centre are among other popular attractions.
Furthermore, Kenya safaris welcome you to Nairobi’s thriving restaurant scene, with Indian restaurants like Haandi and Haveli being top picks, along with the Talisman, Osteria del Chinati, and Mediteraneo. Overland travelers frequent the Thorn Tree Cafe, while the Pavement in Westlands is a popular disco. The Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage is known for rearing sick and abandoned elephants back to health and releasing them into the wild.
Nairobi National Park is another great destination for a Kenya tour. The 45-square-mile game reserve is located just 8 miles south of the Kenyan capital of Nairobi. It offers a variety of game including several antelope species, hippopotamus, black rhino, and occasionally, lions and cheetahs.
Home to over 100 black rhinos, Nairobi National Park is one of the best places to see these impressive creatures in Africa. The park also serves as a migration corridor to the Athi-Kapiti Plains and Kitengela towards the Amboseli National Park. The landscape features open plains with scattered acacia bushes, a small patch of highland forest, and the permanent Athi River lined with yellow-barked fever trees. The park is home to a diverse range of birds, including ostriches, secretary birds, and augur buzzards. An unusual aspect of the park is that it is possible to see wild game with the city skyline in the background. Nairobi National Park is open all year-round, but a 4×4 vehicle is recommended during the rainy season. Besides wildlife, visitors can also visit the David Sheldrick Trust animal orphanage, which cares for sick, hurt, or stray animals.
The Masai Mara is the most popular and renowned national park in Kenya for safaris, known for its incomparable population of lions, cheetahs, leopards, and Elephants within the Reserve among other wildlife species. Of the big cats, sandy-eyed lions are found in large prides everywhere, and it is common to see them hunting. Breathtaking at any time of the year, the Masai Mara reaches its peak during its wildebeest migration in July to September when millions of herd animals move north of Serengeti National Park into Masai Mara seeking lusher grass before they make another return journey in October.
Masai Mara comprises two major sectors you can visit on your Kenya safari tour; Masai Mara National Reserve and The Mara Triangle, however, it also encompasses other conservancies such as Olkinyei, Siana, Maji Moto, Koiyaki, Naikara, Lemek, Ol Derkesi, and Oloirien. Cheetahs and leopards in Mara are less visible, but still fairly common, and elephants, buffaloes, zebras, and numerous other grazers occur in quantities that boggle the mind. Maasai Mara National Reserve gets its name from the local Kiswahili word “Mara,” which means “spotted.” The wildlife reserve was named in honor of the local tribe who occupy the plains of the region known as the Maasai people, making Kenya safaris and tours here an authentic and cultural experience.
Amboseli National Park is a must-visit destination for Kenya safari holidays. The 150-square-mile reserve is situated on the Tanzanian border in Africa and is surrounded by scenic views of the snow-capped peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Amboseli is well-known for its over 1,000 approachable and easy-to-spot elephants. The park is home to a variety of wildlife and over 400 bird species. Visitors can witness large herds of buffalo and elephants around Enkongo Narok Swamp, where Mt. Kilimanjaro is visible in the background. Game viewing is best from mid-December to March and from July to October. To avoid damage to the environment, driving off designated roads is prohibited, and heavy fines are being levied against offenders. Visitors can access the park from Nairobi, situated about 140 miles away. The Campi ya Kanzi located on a Maasai Group Ranch and stretching to the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro is an excellent option for accommodation while visiting Amboseli National Park on your Kenya safari holidays
Tsavo West National Park is another popular destination for Kenya safaris and tours, as it is part of a vast conservation area spanning over 8,217 square miles.
The park is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including more than 15,000 elephants, as well as lions, leopards, rhinos, caracals, and various antelopes. Visitors can explore the park’s Acacia and Commiphora woodland landscape, which features tall trees along rivers and baobab trees that serve as habitats for numerous bird species. The terrain of the park is rugged, with occasional granite outcrops and altitudes ranging from 1,000 to 6,000 feet in the Ngulia Mountains. A visit to Mzima Springs offers the opportunity to see hippos and otters underwater, while Poachers Lookout provides breathtaking views of the plains. Lake Jipe, located in the southern sector of the park, is a sanctuary for water birds and adds to the park’s natural beauty for Kenya safaris and tours.
The Samburu National Reserve is a prime destination for a safari in Kenya, as it is home to a multitude of large African mammals such as elephants, rhinoceroses, hippopotami, big cats like lions and leopards, and a vast number of herbivores. Furthermore, the reserve is also home to a range of smaller species that thrive in an environment that remains devoid of vegetation for most of the year during the dry season. Even in the dry season, the waters of the Oso nagito River continue to flow, except during periods of prolonged drought such as in 1986 and 1987. Interestingly, the river is also home to large Nile crocodiles that can often be seen sunning themselves on its banks.
Buffalo Springs National Reserve is a 50-square-mile (131-km2) reserve located south of the Ewaso Nyiro River, which serves as its northern border with Samburu National Reserve. The unusual doum palm, the only palm tree species whose trunk divides into branches, grows to over 60 feet (19 m) in height in this arid park. Wildlife is similar to what is seen in Samburu National Reserve
The turnoff to the entrance of Shaba National Reserve, which is a popular destination for Kenya wildlife safaris, is located east of Samburu National Reserve, 2 miles (3 km) south of Archer’s Post.
The Ewaso Nyiro River forms the reserve’s northwestern border and flows through the western part of the reserve. This 92-square-mile (239-km2) reserve is characterized by rocky hills and scattered thornbush. Volcanic rock is present in many areas. Mt. Shaba, a 5,320foot-(1,622-m) high volcanic cone, which the park was named after, lies to the south of the reserve. Shaba became famous for hosting the 2001 “Survivor” television series as well as the location of George Adamson’s film Walking with Lions. A marsh in the center of the reserve is a good spot to look for wildlife. Wildlife is less abundant and cannot be approached as closely as in the Samburu and Buffalo Springs National Reserves. However, there is much less traffic in this reserve.
Meru National Park is another ideal destination for a Safari in Kenya, covering a vast area of 300 square-miles. The wildlife is diverse and ranges from elephants, buffaloes, and oryx to the rare reticulated giraffe and Grevy’s zebra. The park also boasts lions and leopards on its plains, while crocodiles and hippos are common along the Tana River. Bird watching enthusiasts can enjoy sighting over 400 species, with the stunning golden-breasted starling being one of the highlights. If you’re lucky, you may even spot a rhino, as the park has transported a few of them to the area.
Mombasa is a popular destination for Kenya tours and beach holidays. It is the second largest city in Kenya and is located on an island about 307 miles (495 km) from Nairobi. The city has blended cultural influences from the Middle East, Asia and Africa, and its Old Harbour is a trading hub for dhows. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful white sand beaches to the north or south of the island, including Nyali Beach, Mombasa Beach, Kenyatta Beach, Shanzu Beach and Diani Beach.
Mombasa is known for its excellent Swahili food, and the Tamarind Restaurant and Aquamarine Restaurant at Mtwapa Creek serve some of the best seafood in Kenya. The Old Town is primarily Muslim and Indian, with narrow streets and buildings dating back to the nineteenth century. Fort Jesus, built by the Portuguese in 1593, is now a museum and is a popular tourist attraction.
South of Mombasa, Shimba Hills National Park is a 74-square-mile (192-km2) reserve of rolling hills and forests. It’s a great place to escape the heat of the coast and enjoy magnificent views of the Indian Ocean. Wildlife includes elephants and buffalos, as well as occasional sightings of genet, civet, serval, leopard and roan antelope. The park also boasts 350 species of birds, making it a great stop for Kenya safari tours focused on birdwatching.
Kisite Mpunguti Marine Reserve is a popular destination that offers boat excursions to Wasini Island, an ancient Arab settlement, and excellent snorkeling opportunities. North of Mombasa, Malindi-Watamu Marine National Reserve is a great place for diving, snorkeling, and marlin fishing. Malindi, located 75 miles (120 km) north of Mombasa, is a bustling town with a Portuguese explorer’s pillar and the Sokoke Arabuko Forest, Kenya’s last remaining area of extensive lowland forest.
Lamu, located on an island, has a Swahili culture that has changed little in the past few hundred years. There are only a few motorized vehicles on the island, but plenty of donkey carts provide substitutes. The Lamu Museum has exhibits of Swahili craftwork, and many travelers have compared Lamu to a mini-Katmandu. The best beaches are at Shela, and the island also features numerous attractions on nearby islands. The best way to reach the island is to fly, as driving is not recommended due to the rough road from Malindi, which may be impassable in the rainy season.
Lake Naivasha, located just 55 miles (89 km) northwest of Nairobi, is one of the most beautiful of Rift Valley lakes to combine to your Kenya safari, and features fringing papyrus beds, secluded lagoons and the picturesque Crescent Island. It is a favorite spot for picnics and water sports for Nairobi residents, and it is a birdwatcher’s paradise. African fish eagles are abundant. Waterfowl, plovers, sandpipers, avocet, terns, kingfishers, storks and ibis are plentiful. This is a freshwater lake with a suspected underground outlet, so it is less attractive to flamingos, which prefer soda lakes. A boat ride to Crescent Island and walk around this game-and-bird sanctuary, which is host to zebra, giraffe, waterbuck, several antelope species and a few camels are some of the major highlights for a Kenya safari trip in Lake Naivasha.
Hell’s Gate National Park offers a unique Kenya adventure safari experience, covering about 68 square kilometers. Visitors can walk, run, or cycle alongside zebras, gazelles, and other wildlife. The park’s Fishes Tower, a volcanic plug standing 25 meters high, is popular among seasoned rock climbers and beginners alike. However, the highlight of the Kenya adventure safari to Hells Gate is Ol Karia Gorge; a 24-kilometer deep ravine lined with short cliffs and hot water springs feeding a stream that meanders down the floor of the gorge. Hikers on a Kenya adventure safari holiday will find the gorge to be one of the most beautiful places to explore during their trip. The park’s stunning scenery has served as an inspiration for various Hollywood movies such as King Solomon’s Mines and Tomb Raider.
Lake Elementeita is a shallow, alkaline lake located between Lakes Naivasha and Nakuru. The lake only holds surface water for a brief period after heavy rain, and it rapidly evaporates. A white soda crust covers much of the lake. A number of hot springs feed permanent lagoons on the fringes of the lake— very attractive to a host of birds. Up to 50,000 lesser flamingos can be witnessed on Kenya safari here, and the uncommon great white pelican, avocet and chestnut-banded plover are breeding residents. The sparse, open bush-land surrounding the lake is home to Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelle, as well as Rothchild’s giraffe.
Lake Nakuru National Park is a must-see on Kenyan safari tours. The park encompasses the famous alkaline lake, which is a paradise for greater and lesser flamingos, boasting an amazing bird spectacle that draws in hundreds of thousands (sometimes more than a million) of these birds. With over 400 bird species recorded, Lake Nakuru is a bird lover’s paradise. The park is located 100 miles (160 km) northwest of Nairobi on a good road and covers 73-square-miles (188-km2), with the lake itself taking up most of the park’s area.
On a Kenya safari holiday to Lake Nakuru, you’ll witness black rhino in their sanctuaries, with a fair number of these endangered animals found in the park. In addition, a small population of white rhino was reintroduced from South Africa. Other wildlife to spot on your Kenya safari includes lion, leopard, Rothschild’s giraffe (introduced), waterbuck, reedbuck, hippo, baboon, pelican, and cormorant. The lake is also an essential stopover for thousands of migratory wading birds heading to and from Europe each year.
Lake Bogoria National Reserve, located north of Nakuru, has numerous hot springs and geysers along the lakeshore. Thousands of flamingos frequent this alkaline lake, as do greater kudu on the steep slopes of the lake’s eastern and southern shores.
Lake Baringo, a freshwater lake located 20 miles (32 km) north of Lake Bogoria, is a haven for a colorful and mixed variety of bird life (over 400 species recorded). There is a sporting center for waterskiing, fishing and boating — beware of the hippos and crocodiles
Lake Turkana, also known as the Jade Sea due to its green color, is an inland lake located in Kenya near the Ethiopian border. It covers over 175 miles in length and 10-30 miles in width, surrounded by semi-desert landscapes with dried-up rivers, lava rocks, and scattered oases. The lake’s water is partly freshwater from the Omo River, which comes from the Ethiopian Highlands in the north, while the southern part has salted water due to evaporation. Lake Turkana is home to a variety of wildlife, including crocodiles, which can be seen in abnormally large sizes here, as their skin is not suitable for commercial trade. There are 47 different species of fish in the lake, of which seven are found nowhere else, and it is also a popular spot for birding, particularly during winter migration periods. Fishing for Nile perch and tigerfish is a major attraction, and the El Molo tribe, one of the smallest tribes in Kenya, can be found near Loiyangalani. The Central Island National Park, rich in volcanic cones and crocodile breeding grounds, is accessible by small aircraft or four-wheel-drive vehicles.
Chalbi Desert, located east of the southern part of Lake Turkana, is home to the Gabra tribe and attracts wildlife such as jackals, ostrich, and sandgrouse to its natural oasis at Kalacha.
Aberdare National Park is another prime destination for wildlife safaris in Kenya. Previously known as Nyandarua, the park covers 296 square miles along the Aberdare (Nyandarua) mountain range. The park is divided into two sections by altitude. The high plateau, located between Ol Doinyo Lasatima and Kinangop, offers breathtaking views of Mount Kenya and the Rift Valley. It is also home to various animals, including black rhinos, lions, hyenas, and buffalos, making it a great location for Kenya wildlife safaris. The Salient region, situated on the eastern slopes below, features forested hills and valleys where black rhinos, leopards, elephants, buffalos, waterbucks, bushbucks, giant forest hogs, and black-and-white colobus monkeys roam. Aberdare National Park boasts a diverse birdlife, including rare species such as Jackson’s and Moorland francolins, Aberdare cisticola, and Cape eagle owl, all of which can be spotted during Kenya wildlife safaris. The mountains are also home to several dazzling sunbirds. Night temperatures can reach freezing point, requiring a 4WD vehicle for travel. The Ark Lodge and Aberdare Country Club are the two popular accommodations here for planning Kenya wildlife safaris.
Located just below the equator, Kenya’s highest peak and Africa’s second highest mountain, Mt. Kenya, has permanent glaciers despite its tropical location. The mountain has two peaks, Batian and Nelion, which are accessible through 25 different routes, but only experienced rock climbers should attempt them. Point Lenana, a non-technical climb, is accessible to hikers in good condition and can be done during the dry seasons. Mt. Kenya’s vegetation changes are similar to those of the Ruwenzori Mountains and Mt. Kilimanjaro. Climbing routes differ depending on the side of the mountain and the best time to climb is from January to February and from July to October. Climbers may encounter buffalo and elephant, as well as leopard, duiker, bushbuck, giant forest hog, Syke’s monkey and colobus monkey. Climbers need to be wary of pulmonary edema due to the mountain’s high altitude. The Naro Moru Route is the most commonly used route up the mountain.
Laikipia, located north of the Aberdares and northwest of Mt. Kenya, is a wild and sparsely populated region considered to be the gateway to Kenya’s Northern frontier. Much of Laikipia is composed of large, privately owned ranches that cover a wide range of landscapes from high plains to low forested valleys. On most ranches, cattle share the land with free-ranging wildlife. Some sanctuaries were created by local communities, which have combined small farms and grazing land into large group ranches — some of which are active in significant conservation programs. These community ranches are great places to learn about traditional cultures. A visit to one of these private ranches is highly recommended as a way to get off the beaten path on your Kenya safari holiday.
This 110,000-acre (44,000-hectare) private game reserve of savannah and riverine forest has a variety of wildlife, including black rhino, reticulated giraffe, buffalo, Grevy’s zebra, oryx, Coke’s hartebeest and Thomson’s gazelle. Walks, day and night game drives, boat rides and camel rides are offered. There is also a chimpanzee sanctuary/rehabilitation center. A 4wd vehicle may be necessary to reach the camp from the main road during the rains.
Located between Mt. Kenya and Samburu National Reserve, the privately owned, scenic 45,000-acre (18,000-hectare) Lewa Wildlife Conservancy has a variety of wildlife, adapted to the semi-arid environment, including a large black and white rhino population (Lewa is a rhino sanctuary), elephant, lion, leopard, cheetah, reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, buffalo, hartebeest, bushbuck, gerenuk, Gunther’s dikdik and Somali ostrich. Lewa is one of the few places in Kenya where the rare, semi-aquatic sitatunga antelope is sometimes seen. Horseback riding, hiking, camel riding, day and night game drives in open 4wd vehicles and a cultural visit to the nearby Il N’gwesi Maasai tribal community are offered.

How Much Does Kenya Safari Cost?
The cost of a Kenya safari can vary greatly depending on a number of factors such as the time of year, the length of the safari, the type of accommodations, and the activities included. Generally, the average cost for a 5-7 day safari can range from $2,000-$4,000 per person. However, luxury Kenya safaris and tours can cost upwards of $10,000 per person. Budget safaris can also be found for around $1,000 per person but may not include all activities or accommodations. It is important to research and compare different Kenya safari operators to ensure the best value for your budget.
What Months Are Best For Kenya Safari?
The best months for a safari in Kenya are from July to October when the wildlife is most abundant and visible. This is the dry season in Kenya, and the lack of rain means that animals gather around waterholes, making it easier to spot them. The wildebeest migration also takes place during this time, where millions of animals move from Tanzania to Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Reserve. January to March is also a good time to go on a safari in Kenya, as it is the calving season, and many baby animals can be seen. However, it is important to note that Kenya safaris can be done throughout the year, and each season has its own unique advantages.
Is Kenya or Tanzania Better For Safari?
Both Kenya and Tanzania offer incredible safari experiences with abundant wildlife and stunning natural landscapes. However, the decision ultimately depends on personal preferences and travel goals. Kenya Safari is known for its vast savannas, the annual Great Migration, and diverse cultures. On the other hand, Tanzania offers the iconic Serengeti National Park, the stunning Ngorongoro Crater, and the incredible wildebeest calving season. Whereas Tanzania’s parks are generally less crowded, Kenya safari tours are less pricey and also provide more luxury accommodation options. Overall, both countries offer unforgettable experiences for safari enthusiasts, and it is recommended to research various parks and itineraries to determine which destination suits your interests best.
How Much Does Masai Mara Safari Cost
The cost of a Kenya safari Masai Mara varies depending on numerous factors, such as the type of accommodation chosen, the duration of the safari, group size, transportation method, and time of the year. However, the average cost for a budget-midrange safari to Masai Mara can range from approximately $150 to $350 per day, per person. Nevertheless, we recommend that you contact a reputable tour operator in Kenya to get a fair quote for the Masai Mara safari you are looking for.
How To Do Kenya Safari on A Budget?
To do a safari in Kenya on a budget, there are a few things to consider. First, plan your trip during the low season, which is usually from April to June and November to December. This is when prices for accommodation and tours are lower. Secondly, consider staying in budget-friendly accommodations such as campsites or budget lodges. You can also choose to self-drive or join a budget group tour. Lastly, opt for less-known national parks and reserves, which have lower entrance fees compared to popular ones like Masai Mara. With these tips, you can enjoy an unforgettable safari experience in Kenya at an affordable price
Why Choose a Kenya Safari Tour?
There are numerous reasons why Kenya safari tours are must-do adventures for anyone visiting Africa. Firstly, Kenya has a rich diversity of habitats and ecosystems, which translates to an incredible range of wildlife and landscapes. Secondly, Kenya’s safari industry is well-established, with top-notch tour operators and lodges that offer an unrivaled safari experience. Thirdly, Kenya is easily accessible from major airports, with direct flights to Nairobi from many international destinations.
In addition, a Kenya safari holiday supports conservation efforts and the local economy. Many safari lodges and tours are involved in community projects, promoting sustainable tourism, and protecting wildlife from poaching and habitat loss.
Is Kenya Or Uganda Better For Safari?
Both Kenya and Uganda offer unique and exciting safari experiences, and the choice of which country is better ultimately depends on individual preferences. Kenya is known for its iconic Maasai Mara National Reserve, which hosts the famous wildebeest migration, while Uganda is famous for its gorilla tracking and chimpanzee trekking experiences. Therefore, if you’re looking for an incredible wildlife encounter, Kenya may be the better choice, while if you want a more intimate and unique wildlife experience with major emphasis on primates, Uganda might be the better option. Ultimately, both countries have excellent safari options, and it would be worth considering visiting both for a complete East African safari experience.
