Question 2

What type of safari is best suited for me?

Accepted Answer

We offer two incredible safari experiences: Road Safaris and Air Safaris, each designed to suit different preferences and travel styles.
 • Road Safaris: These safaris offer the adventure of an overland journey in a private 4x4 game drive vehicle, perfect for those seeking a more immersive experience. Ideal for travelers looking for budget-friendly to mid-range options, road safaris also offer luxurious experiences for those who desire extra comfort while staying on land.
 • Air Safaris: For a more relaxed and opulent journey, consider an Air Safari. Begin with scenic flights to your safari destinations, then enjoy private game drives in comfort. Air safaris are the epitome of luxury, offering a seamless and time-efficient way to explore East Africa's wild landscapes.

If you're after a more luxurious and leisurely experience, an Air Safari is the way to go. For those who prefer a more immersive or budget-conscious approach, a Road Safari is your best fit.

Question 4

When is the best time to go on a safari in Kenya?

Accepted Answer

A safari is an extraordinary experience that can be enjoyed year-round. However, the time of year you choose to travel will be influenced by the seasonal weather patterns, which in turn, can affect both the wildlife you encounter and the cost of your safari.
During the dry season, animals tend to gather around the few remaining watering holes, making wildlife viewing easier as the sparse vegetation offers clearer sightlines. While this is prime safari season, it’s important to note that the cost is generally higher due to demand.
In contrast, the wet season brings lush greenery, vibrant wildflowers, and a wealth of animal activity. This is also the birthing season, where you’ll witness the incredible circle of life as predators emerge to hunt vulnerable newborns. Although the wet season offers a unique experience, it is typically a more budget-friendly option.
No matter when you choose to visit, you can rest assured that our partnered lodges  are equipped to provide comfort in any weather. With the added warmth and hospitality of our genuinely friendly guides and staff, your comfort and enjoyment are always a top priority.
