Where To Go On A Luxury Safari In Kenya
When it comes to planning your long-dreamed-of luxury trip to Africa’s safari heartland, Kenya tops the list, being a land of variety filled with heart pumping adventures. Everywhere you go in Kenya remains a mystery to most travelers.
Most of the times, safari-goers prefer these areas; the iconic Masai Mara, Amboseli National Park, which lies in the shadow of the majestic Mt Kilimanjaro, a magnificent park rich in scenery and wildlife. It has a small but elite collection of luxury lodges and tented camps. Tsavo West and Tsavo East together make up one of Africa’s largest and wildest protected areas. In the north, lies Lake Nakuru National Park and Samburu National Reserve offer world-class wildlife viewing. Samburu, Ol Pejeta and the private conservancies up on the Laikipia region have some of East Africa’s most celebrated luxury options.
As a trend, you will often see travelers arrive in Nairobi and visit two to four different game parks before leaving for the beaches of the Kenyan Coast. A good tip is to combine areas like Masai Mara the North (Samburu, Ol Pejeta, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli or Meru) you will have a very different feel as if you’ve been in two different countries.
A better idea is also to combine your wildlife safari with the Kenyan beaches which is also stunning with white sand and turquoise Ocean, not to mention Diani beach, one of the world’s most famous haven of tranquility.

FAQs About Your Kenya Luxury Safaris
Still wondering what to expect on a luxury holiday in Kenya? From the best time for safaris, Kenya’s top luxury hotels and what to wear to family holiday tips, our experts answer some of our most asked questions.
Private luxury safari because of its mix of exceptional wildlife experiences, inspiring landscapes and highly professional safari guides. If you’re staying in lodges, the comfort levels are even higher, with stylish decorations and fabulous views. The plenty private conservancies such as Mara North, Mara Naboisho, Olare Motorogi and many more are less crowded and offer magnificent luxury tented camps and lodges that adds depth to the whole luxury experience. These makes Kenya rank among Africa’s best choice for luxury safari destinations.”
“Our luxury safari packages in Kenya are based on an all-inclusive basis. The safari price you pay includes breakfast, lunch and dinner, safari or wildlife game drives, transport between the parks or lodges and camps, and, the best luxury accommodation. We will always confirm everything with you before you make your reservation.
Additional/ optional safari activities will usually cost extra. These may include such things as a bush breakfast by the riverbank, or a scenic hot air balloon ride over the Masai Mara followed by a champagne breakfast. SPA treatments and massages, if available, are also rarely included in the initial price.
“On a Kenya luxury safari, expect two types of luxury accommodation. The first is the tented safari camps which consists of a large room with a bed, writing desk, sitting area and somewhere to hang your clothes. Windows can be left open to allow the breeze in or zipped shut. Out the back is usually a bathroom area, sometimes with an outdoor shower which is an old safari favorite; bucket showers are common.
The other type of luxury safari accommodation is the safari lodges, where rooms are customarily four-walled structures, although canvas elements are sometimes incorporated. Lodges on a luxury safari in Kenya, like their tented camps, are large, luxurious and comfortable. They are the sort of places that bring to mind luxury hotels the world over, often with a safari theme.”
“The price of a Kenya luxury tour can be at US$450 per person per day and go up from there. For solo travelers, the cost of the single supplement is rarely less than 75% of the price for two people traveling together.
HOWEVER, since our trips are custom-made, these are estimates based on the sample itineraries we’ve put together. The final safari cost will be unique to your trip and dependent on the experiences, accommodation and flights you book or wish to experience on your luxury Kenya holiday.
Another thing about our luxury Kenya holidays is that it’s possible to pay less than this, but the less you pay, the more likely it is that you’re not getting the luxury level you want. Again, it depends because the standards you expect from a luxury holiday will differ from one traveler to the next.”
Our luxury safaris in Kenya usually range from 3 to 12 days; however, our tours are custom-made so we can create a holiday that suits your timings.
We often recommend at least 4 days for a safari, but after that, you can head over to Kenya’s luxury beaches to relax on miles of white sand beaches or even Zanzibar.
The best destination for a Kenya luxury beach holiday is Diani Beach on Kenya’s southern coast.
The ideal duration for an East Africa safari package often ranges from 5 to 14 days, this allows you to enjoy a comfortable and a well-rounded rewarding safari experience during this African tour package. It also depends on the destinations you will visit, wildlife interests, and personal preferences.
