Luxury Safaris in Kenya

Kenya’s wildlife and diverse natural beauty are strong drawcards for visitors to the country. For those that really enjoy getting immersed in nature then a luxury safari may is the ideal experience to see wildlife from new perspectives.

Although you will most likely be surrounded by different wild animals during the safari, the tours are generally safe. Always follow instructions from your guide about safety and safari etiquette to minimise any potential issues. Additionally, drink plenty of water, use insect repellents and be sure to pack both over-the-counter and prescription medications.

​The best time to visit Kenya will depend on what you aim to see and do during your visit. The best time to visit for the great wildebeest migration is from July to October, or in the hotter summer months. Try and avoid the rains from March to May.
