Frequently Asked Questions on Kenya Safari

What is the best time to go on a Kenya safari?

The best time for a Kenya safari is during the dry season (June to October), when wildlife is more easily visible due to the sparse vegetation and animals gathering near water sources. This period also coincides with the Great Migration in the Masai Mara (July to October). The wet season (November to May), especially the short rains in November and long rains in April/May, can also be a good time to visit for birdwatching and fewer tourists, though some roads may become muddy and challenging to navigate.

Kenya is famous for the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros—found in many parks like the Masai Mara, Amboseli, and Tsavo. You can also see cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of antelope species. The Masai Mara is renowned for its large populations of predators, while Amboseli is known for its elephants, and Lake Nakuru for flamingos and rhinos. The unique species in Samburu include the Grevy’s zebra and reticulated giraffe.

Yes, Kenya is generally safe for tourists, including those on safari. Most safaris are conducted in well-managed national parks and reserves, with experienced guides who are trained in safety protocols. Follow the guidance of your safari operator, and avoid wandering alone in parks or venturing too close to wildlife. Security at lodges and camps is also well-maintained. It’s advisable to check for any travel advisories before your trip, especially in remote regions.

The ideal duration depends on the number of parks you want to visit and your interests:

  • Short safaris (3-4 days): Good for visiting 1-2 parks like the Masai Mara, Amboseli, or Tsavo.
  • Medium safaris (5-7 days): Offers a chance to explore 2-3 parks, giving a more comprehensive experience.
  • Extended safaris (8-10 days or more): Best for a diverse experience, covering multiple parks like the Masai Mara, Samburu, Amboseli, and Lake Nakuru.
  • Lightweight, neutral-colored clothing (avoid bright colors) for layering.
  • Comfortable walking shoes or boots.
  • A wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen for sun protection.
  • A good camera and binoculars for wildlife viewing.
  • Insect repellent, especially for protection against mosquitoes.
  • Personal medications, including anti-malaria tablets
  • A small flashlight or headlamp.
  • A waterproof jacket for unexpected rains.

The Great Migration is one of the most spectacular wildlife events in the world, where millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles migrate from Tanzania’s Serengeti to Kenya’s Masai Mara in search of greener pastures. The best time to witness this incredible event is from July to October, particularly around the Mara River, where dramatic river crossings occur as the animals face predators like crocodiles.

Kenya offers a wide range of accommodation options, including:

  • Luxury Lodges and Tented Camps: These provide high-end services, comfortable accommodations, gourmet meals, and sometimes private game drives.
  • Mid-Range Lodges and Camps: These offer a good balance of comfort and affordability, with en-suite bathrooms, decent meals, and excellent wildlife viewing.
  • Budget Campsites: For those looking for a more basic experience, campsites provide the essentials while still immersing you in the wilderness.
  • Tree Hotels: In some parks like Aberdare, you can stay in tree hotels like The Ark or Treetops, which offer elevated wildlife viewing.
