Kenya is the most popular safari destination in the world, and with good reason. It’s one of the best places on the planet to spot the sought-after Big Five and has a very well established infrastructure making it extremely easy to get around.
From the big cats of the Maasai Mara to the super elephant herds of Amboseli, there’s something for every wildlife lover here.
To help you plan your dream safari in Kenya, I’ve put together this destination guide which contains helpful links to all of my Kenya articles.
Planning Your Safari: The Essentials
Before you get stuck into your Kenya safari planning, there are a couple of important factors to consider about a Kenya safari. This includes the costs as well as the best time to visit.
Below are my in-depth guides on these topics.
Kenya Safari Costs
The price of your Kenya safari will depend on a number of factors including comfort of accommodation, whether you want a private or shared safari and your mode of transport throughout Kenya.
My ultimate Kenya safari costs guide goes into these factors in much more detail as well as cost breakdowns.
Best Time To Visit Kenya
The time of year that you visit Kenya will have a large impact on your safari cost, what animals you see and also the weather you experience.
My article on the best time to visit Kenya goes through the pros and cons of each month as well as what you can experience. I also give my personal favourite months for visiting. (Article coming soon)
Best Time to Visit: The Wildebeest Migration
The Great Wildebeest Migration is one of the highlights of a safari in Kenya.
The migration only enters Kenya at some times of year so if seeing millions of wildebeest on the move is on your bucket-list, you’ll need to plan your trip to ensure you’re there at the same time as the migration.
My in-depth article on the wildebeest migration covers month by month what to expect and my favourite times to see the migration.
Where Should You Visit in Kenya?
Kenya is a vast country, home to dozens of national parks and reserves. It can certainly be overwhelming knowing which to prioritise.
