When Africa Exclusive arranges your Kenya safari, we make it easy to get around. Many of the exclusive lodges that we use are accessed by small planes so you won’t have to endure long, bumpy road journeys. Kenya is eight hours from London and if you fly overnight we can have you on safari just a few hours after you land. There are also direct flights from the USA. The rains fall mainly in April, May and November. From July to September the wildebeest migration passes through the Masai Mara, so it’s ideal for a holiday in our summer months.

Kenya has an incredible density of wildlife and a great variety of species. Even if you travel when the migration is not passing, there is still plenty to see including lots of big cats. It also has iconic African scenery like the plains of the Masai Mara, volcanic hills, the rift valley and views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Kenya also has a beautiful coastline, so your safari can easily be combined with some time at the beach.

Although Kenya is a popular place to visit, we can arrange for you to avoid the crowds by staying in small, exclusive camps and lodges on private reserves. This even applies in the Masai Mara. A big advantage of these places is that you are free to explore in all kinds of ways: driving, walking, riding, and even mountain biking with expert guides.

Many of these exclusive lodges are active in conservation and protecting endangered species. Kenya is one of the best countries to see conservation in action; a heart-warming and educational experience for the children. Most private camps and lodges we recommend also operate in partnership with local communities and for children, meeting other families in the local Samburu and Maasai villages are often some of their most enduring memories.
