Kenya Travel Guide

Kenya Tours Highlights

  • Take a safari through Nairobi National Park to see giraffes, leopards, and lions.
  • Go for a swim at the white sand beach of Diani Beach.
  • Experience a rock-climbing adventure at Hells Gate National Park.
  • Explore the hiking trails at Mount Kenya.

Kenya Tours Travel Tips

  • Kenyans are very friendly, so don't be afraid to chat with the locals and get to know them!
  • While Kenya is considered a safe country, especially on the tourist path, you're likely to encounter extra security at airports and malls. Make sure you give yourself ample time and stick with your tour group at security checkpoints. 
  • You'll definitely want to pack sufficient bug repellant. Malaria can be a significant risk, so you'll want a spray that is at least 30% DEET.
  • If you're looking to splurge on something before your trip, it should be a camera. You'll have some unbelievable photo ops on your safaris, so a high-quality camera can go a long way.
  • Don't forget your visa beforehand! There are multiple visas you might opt for, and your decision will be largely based on whether you'll be visiting multiple countries. Check in with your local government to see what you'll need, and b sure to complete this step well ahead of time so your trip goes off without a hitch.

Kenya Tours Things To Do

  • Nairobi National Park
    Nairobi National Park

    Just outside of the main city, Nairobi National Park is home to a stunning diversity of wildlife. Across the grassy plains, you'll find endangered black rhinos, hyenas, cheetahs, giraffes, and over 400 species of birds. There are plenty of trails for hikers as well as picnic sites for you to enjoy a snack or meal.   

    Best Time To Visit

    Nairobi National Park is open all year long. For the best visibility of wildlife, it's recommended to visit first thing in the morning if your tour allows.  

     

    You Should Know

    At least 20 of the 400 bird species found here are seasonal European migrants. Nairobi National Park was established in December 1946 and today is one of the country's best rhinoceros sanctuaries.

  • Lake Nakuru
    Lake Nakuru

    Lake Nakuru (and Lake Nakuru National Park) is located on the Great Rift Valley floor. The Lake is considered one of the Rift Valley soda lakes and has a high pH value. The National Park was created in 1961 and houses over 25 eastern black rhinos and around 70 southern white rhinos. However, the Lake is best known for its incredible concentration of flamingos.  

    Best Time To Visit

    If you want to see flamingos, visit during January or February.  

     

    You Should Know

You can also head into the Elephant Watch Camp located inside the Reserve for a close look at these majestic animals.

  • Karen Blixen Museum
    Karen Blixen Museum

    If you're interested in history and learning more about living in Africa, the Karen Blixen Museum is a perfect attraction. It is the former home of Karen Blixen, a Danish author who came to fame with the publication of her 1937 book Out of Africa, which was turned into a film in 1985. Guests are welcome to walk through the museum on their own or participate in a guided tour.

Kenya Tour Packages

Quick Facts

Kenya has many attractions that make it the perfect destination for almost any time of the year. the weather is split between the rainy season and the dry season. The one time of year that is not recommended for a visit to Kenya is the "long rain" season from March through May. This time of year is incredibly wet and does not lend itself well to safaris or any of the other outdoor activities you may be interested in.

  • Dry Season - June to October - Best Season

    Late June through October is widely considered to be the best time to visit Kenya. In particular, July through September is the dry season, so you'll have better weather for wildlife viewing. This period also contains the Great Migration of zebra and wildebeest, so you have the best chance of spotting some incredible wildlife.

  • Rainy Season - April to May - Low Season

    You can also have an enjoyable experience during the rainy season. Though the weather will be less than ideal, you'll have fewer crowds to contend with and can still admire quite a bit of wildlife as well as the incredible plant life around you. Specifically, December is a great time to visit Kenya since rains tend to be short.

The entire trip was very well organized. No surprises, all was done according to what we paid for. The transfer service was great as well as all the game drives. Very good food and accommodation. Water was available at any time. Overall excellent experience with Gate 1

Krystyna G

Erlinda D

Sam was an amazing guide! He made the trip great. I would have preferred a stay at a camp with a game drive over the stay at the Ark. The Ark was kinda cheesy.
