7 Days Bigfive Safari - Nairobi Tour

7 Days Bigfive Safari - Nairobi

Absolutely incredible from start to finish! Bryan was awesome in helping me plan my trip. He was very responsive and answered all my seemingly endless questions. He even called me during and after my safari to make sure I was okay and that everything was going well. My driver, Dennis, was awesome as well. He made sure I got to see just about every animal in Kenya! He did a fantastic job at getting me as close as possible and even helped get the perfect photos. He also helped coordinate some of the optional activities I wanted to do. He entertained me during our long drives between parks with stories about life in Kenya and about the culture. He even played some traditional African music for me! Thank you Bryan and Dennis for the incredible experience! I would definitely book with these guys again!

7 Days Masai Mara Kenya Budget Camping Safari by 4x4 Group Joining Jeep Tour

7 Days Masai Mara Kenya Budget Camping Safari by 4x4 Group Joining Jeep

Not all driving games are in jeeps, but in vans that claim to be 4x4. There's a lot of variation in the hotels where they accommodate you. It's worth paying for the upgrade because the only camp I stayed at had no clean water for the bathroom, shower, and sink. The service provided by Faith and Walter Omondi was very good; they always resolved things with the best attitude. Omondi, in particular, made the trip more enjoyable. You have to be very insistent on all the game drives if you want to keep searching and seeing animals; otherwise, by 2-4 pm, they'll take you back to the hotel. The drivers in the Maasai Mara find it hard to understand that you're there for a safari and have traveled a long way, not to be at the pool at 2 pm but on the safari you paid for. Otherwise, they always claim that everything is too far away. I repeat, you have to insist to stay on track with the safari and not leave the reserve. In general, it's an unforgettable journey and an adventure you won't regret. Just keep in mind these few details.

5 Days Kenya medium range safari for Amboseli and Tsavo Parks from Nairobi to Mombasa

I would highly recommend CKC Tours. John responded to all our queries promptly and went back and forth until we had an itinerary we were happy with. We were then met by John at the airport and given all the documentation for our trip which included lodges at Masai Mara and Amboseli and internal flights. It was all very easy and well organised. I also found it to be very competitively priced considering the service we received and the standard of accommodation.

7 Days Kenya mid range Joining Safari Tour

7 Days Kenya mid range Joining Safari

Amazing experience!! best tour operator that deserves 10 stars!!Just returned from a 7-Day Tsavo West-Amboseli-Nakuru-Mara-Lodge tour (from Nairobi to Mombasa ) ended at Diani beach and had an incredible holiday and safari! I can't recommend CKC Tours and Travel highly enough. Manager John is very friendly, professional and helpful. I have booked a shared tour but ended up being just me for the last few days. The trip was amazing and very well organised with excellent hotel choices especially the various Sopa Lodges and the Killaguney Serena Lodge with nice rooms and delicious food . I saw the Big 5 and many more wonderful animals . My drivers were amazing at spotting them in the distance! The drivers also were very knowledgable and told me a lot about the animals and their country. The price of the tour is probably the best in Nairobi. Thank you CKC for making my dream come true !

Kenya Safari Tour Reviews

Everything was Amazing
It was an astonishing safari.I really enjoyed my 6 day trip to serengeti, i saw the big 5 for the first time and everything was perfect.I highly recommended Bon Voyage Safari kenya.
I went with my daughter on a safari. Our contact with Bryan of Bigzone was very good. Quick replies whenever I had a question. We had a private tourguide named Samuel Muthee. Sammy was helping us with everything we asked for. Having 2 women on board we had to frequently stop for a washroom visite and Sammy always knew where it was clean to go. Also we trusted him making the right dicisions and showing us the way. The last day we would have to wait for 10 hours on the airport and Sammy was already 7 days on our side he came up with solutions what to do and stayed with us. Great time with Sammy! The lodges were very different in luxury. Only Lake Naivasha was very beautifull, clean and very good restaurant. The rest of the accomodations were not that clean unfortunatly.

Best time to visit kenya for a safari.

For an unparalleled wildlife safari experience combined with the perfect beach getaway, the best time to visit Kenya for safari is generally from early July to late September. This timeframe aligns with Kenya’s dry season, which also extends across East Africa. Notably, it coincides with the Great Migration, a breathtaking spectacle where vast herds of wildebeest and zebras traverse the Mara River on their journey from the Serengeti to Kenya’s Masai Mara. Additional favorable months for a Kenya safari include June and the stretch between December and February. Even October and November, characterized by Kenya’s short rains, provide a suitable window for safari enthusiasts.

Conversely, April and May mark Kenya’s long rainy season, resulting in potentially impassable roads. Despite this, in parks and well-equipped regions, this period presents a unique opportunity for budget-friendly safaris. The lush greenery and awe-inspiring topography during the long rainy season contribute to a distinct and enchanting safari experience. Planning a visit during this time allows for a more economical safari adventure while reveling in the vibrant landscapes that Kenya has to offer.

Our Kenya safari tours will take you to the most famous parks in Kenya and Africa at large including the Masai Mara the where the largest animal migration; the Wildebeests Migration also known as ‘ The Great Migration ’ happens every year seeing thousands upon thousands of visitors who stream the area to witness the wildlife pilgrimage.

Apart from the Masai Mara we also arrange safari tours to the Amboseli National Park famous for the Postcard views of large elephants with the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro as the backdrop, but also the Tsavo West and Tsavo East National Park of the legendary man-eating lions. Other places of interest where our Kenya safaris will take you include Lake Nakuru National Park and other rift valley lake including Lake Baringo , Lake Elmenteita and the Lake Bogoria where you will be amazed by the colorful flocks of flamingoes among other aquatic and non-aquatic birds.

At Safari Desire we offer mainly private tailor made safari tours in Kenya and can therefore plan tours to other less travelled national parks and private game reserves like; the Olpejeta Conservancy , Meru National Park , Lewa Conservancy and other game reserves like Taita Hills , Ngutuni Wildlife Conservancy as well as Lumo Conservancy closer to Mombasa, Diani, Malindi and the Kenya Coast in general.

With offices in both Nairobi and Mombasa, we offer Kenya safaris from Mombasa, as well as Nairobi Safari tours, with some tours starting at Nairobi and ending at Mombasa or Diani Beach; like our affordable 14 Days Kenya safari and Beach holiday .

Affordable kenya safari prices.

We only offer private safari packages. Our Kenya safari prices therefore depend on a few factors; the number of persons travelling with you, Kenya safari parks that you visit, and the type of accommodations that you wish to stay in. Don’t hesitate to contact our Kenya safari experts for a tailor-made Kenyan tour that will suit your needs, and a discounted price.

The transport that you use during the safari also plays a part in determining the price of safari in Kenya. Both our safaris starting from Mombasa and our Nairobi safari tours that start from the capital city can be offered in 4×4 safari land cruiser jeeps or using the special safari vans customized for the purpose of safari game viewing.

Our Mombasa Safari Tours & Safaris from Diani Beach

From our offices in Shanzu Beach, Mombasa at the Kenyan Coast, we arrange and execute the best Kenya safari tours starting from Mombasa as well as affordable safaris from Diani Beach.

Nairobi Tours

Nairobi Tours

Location: capital city of Kenya, Central Kenya Climate: Cold at night, rain through April, May and November Typical Landscape: Huge overpowering escarpments, lakes

The name Nairobi translated from Masai language means ‘the place of cool waters’ – however it is popularly known as the ‘Green City in the Sun’ and is constantly expanding. 3 million people live in Nairobi, which is 6000 ft above sea level and approximately 696 sp km. Over the last ten years Nairobi has become more prominent and can now compete with other African countries politically and financially.

A night in Nairobi is sometimes necessary due to flight connections, in which case we have a few high end boutique hotels which we recommend – on the other hand you might wish to stay in Nairobi to experience a Kenyan city. There are some fantastic shopping malls, restaurants, and museums. Visit Karen Blixen’s House, still full of her furniture and clothes, or pop to Matbronze to see some intricate and lifelike sculptures of African wildlife, or visit the giraffe sanctuary and feed the endangered Rotschild giraffe, and lastly a visit to Daphne Sheldrick’s Elephant Orphanage is a must.

Nairobi has two airports – the international airport is called Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), and the domestic airport for all domestic flights is known as Wilson airport. They are roughly an hour apart although bad traffic in the morning can make the journey much longer.

The Grand Safari: Gold

Just saying the names of East African safari destinations is bound to cause a serious case of wanderlust. Names like Serengeti and Masai Mara resonate with anyone who loves to travel, while less well-known places like Bwindi, Tarangire or Samburu offer the promise of unique, unforgettable safari experiences.

East Africa Safari Destinations

Mountain gorillas are at home in Rwanda's wild places. © Shutterstock

Rwanda has completed a remarkable transformation as a nation and has reinvented itself as a superb safari vacation destination. Rwanda safaris have traditionally focused on mountain gorilla encounters, but visits to the land of a thousand hills also offer more conventional – but no less remarkable – safari experiences, plus insights into its rich cultural heritage.

Samburu is well known for the elephant research carried out there. © Shutterstock

Samburu is the ‘other Kenya’ – this semi-arid region in the north of the country feels very different to say the Masai Mara or Amboseli. It’s much drier and the scenery is more rugged. Even the wildlife is different, with species that aren’t found elsewhere in Kenya. What’s not to enjoy about Samburu safaris?

You'll never forget seeing a silverback mountain gorilla in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. © iStock

Despite its name, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is not quite as inaccessible as might be imagined. Indeed, given that the forest contains around half of all the world’s remaining mountain gorilla, Bwindi safaris are actually perfect for travellers wanting to experience one of Africa’s most moving and engaging species up close and personal.

Lions certainly rule the Masai Mara. © Shutterstock

The place that launched a thousand clips, and millions of images. There’s no more iconic safari destination than Kenya’s Masai Mara, with its eponymous tribespeople, millions of thundering hooves, and equal parts drama, magic and romance. Kenya itineraries without Masai Mara safaris are almost unthinkable, and every moment spent there is unforgettable.

Mount Kilimanjaro guards Amboseli. © Shutterstock

Amboseli is known as Kenya’s land of giants, and it’s not hard to see why. Africa’s tallest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, towers over the national park, and it’s also one of the best places in East Africa to encounter elephant in numbers. No wonder people use superlatives to describe Amboseli safaris.

Tanzania is a wilderness paradise. © Shutterstock

Tanzania is an East African safari powerhouse, not least because in the Serengeti it features one of the greatest of all wilderness areas, and the backdrop for the annual Great Wildebeest Migration. Factor in Indian Ocean Islands, too, and it’s clear that Tanzania safaris can be all things to all people.

Uganda is famed for its mountain gorilla. © Shutterstock

Uganda, an East African country known as ‘the pearl of Africa’, offers the warmest of welcomes and an incredible diversity of wildlife experiences. Uganda safaris can include savannah and mountain moments, excursions into cloud forests and discovering the source of the Nile. It’s this variety of habitats that explains Uganda’s remarkable biodiversity.

Ngorongoro Crater used to be a volcano. © iStock

Descending into the Ngorongoro Crater from one of the luxury lodges perched on its rim is one of the most remarkable safari experiences available in Tanzania. Driving across an ancient volcanic caldera, the wildlife may seem familiar, but the setting is quite unique, and this makes for wonderful photographic opportunities.

Beautiful giraffes roam the Serengeti. © Shutterstock

The Serengeti takes its name from a Maasai word meaning ‘where the land runs on forever’. It’s one of the most evocative and iconic safari destinations of all – not least because it’s the stage on which much of the drama of the Great Wildebeest Migration is played out each year.

Lake Naivasha's shore is full of game. © Shutterstock

Lake Naivasha safaris take you to a literal and metaphorical oasis, offering a change of pace without any reduction in wildlife-viewing opportunities. Renowned for its spectacular birdlife, Naivasha nevertheless has a number of other feathers in its cap. While easily reached from Nairobi, it feels a million miles from the hustle of the city.

Safaris in Volcanoes National Park enable an entry into the unique ecosystem on which the gorilla depend. © Shutterstock

Volcanoes National Park is perhaps the quintessential Rwandan safari destination, and one of only a handful of places where iconic mountain gorilla can be encountered at close quarters. Volcanoes safaris enable an entry into the unique ecosystem on which the gorilla depend – a world of soaring summits and mysterious, misty forests.

At times, Lake Elmenteita appears glass like. © Shutterstock

Lake Elmenteita offers a more secluded safari destination than either of its neighbouring lakes (Naivasha and Nakuru), which can make it feel more exclusive. The unique volcanic landscape adds to the sense of being wonderfully removed from all that’s unimportant – and the unusual wildlife species seen on Lake Elmenteita safaris only reinforce this impression.

Ol Pejeta is a pioneering wildlife conservancy. © Shutterstock

Ol Pejeta is a pioneering wildlife conservancy in Laikipia – Kenya’s high country. With the emphasis firmly on species conservation, Ol Pejeta safaris offer not only exceptional opportunities to view species that are scarce elsewhere, but also to learn about, contribute to and even participate in ground-breaking and impactful conservation projects.

Giraffe find refuge in Kenya's conservation areas. © iStock

Kenya has as good a claim as anywhere to being the country where modern safaris began, and where they’re done best, and it still regularly features high on travel magazines ‘must-visit’ lists. Kenya has been doing what it does best for decades, and yet there’s always something new to discover on Kenya safaris.

I am planning a safari type trip for September - October 2024. My wife and I are interested in seeing the wildlife and if we see the big five, that would be a treat. One thing I do not want to miss, if possible, is seeing Mt. Kilimanjaro. Yes, I recognize, weather plays a big factor.

Two trips are available from a U.S. based tour company. Trip #1 (11 days in country), will visit Arusha, Tarangire, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater then end once again at Arusha. An added side trip can be purchased which includes a trip to the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro and visits to a couple of Maasi villages. An alternative side trip is also available which includes a visit to Kenya's Masai Mara.

Trip #1 will cost about $5,300 pp (with side trip to the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro included), trip #2 about $8200 pp.

So, given the choices, that time of year, the costs, and recognizing we shall not return to do a trip like this again, and wanting to get as much out of this trip as possible, including seeing Mt. Kilimanjaro, what are your thoughts on which of these two trips will give us the best experience.

As always, thanks for the input.

For Indians on the Great Masai Mara Safari, 150% hike in fees is no worry

I n the Indian holiday calendar, July, August and September are usually dead months. The Instagrammable Northern Hemisphere countries are all reeling from a heat wave and summer vacation is a thing of the recent past. So, when it's stuffy and sweaty and humid here, where can you escape to?

Think millions of wildebeest making a precarious crossing, pride of lions watching with the utmost attention, and crocodiles lying in wait in the meandering Mara. Think miles after miles of the savannah where the sun paints the sky in the brightest of colours come twilight. Think the snow-tipped Mt Kilimanjaro with tuskers at its feet. And think The Lion King or Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor's dreamy proposal.

Irene Katumo, the regional marketing manager of Kenya Tourism Board told the media in January 2023 that Kenya saw an increase of 93.2% Indian tourists in 2022, as compared to 2021, after a drastic pandemic slump. Kenya saw 1.2 lakh Indian tourists in 2019, which went down to 42,159 in 2021. In 2022, almost double that number of Indians made their way to the shores of Kenya.

Kenya, which lies in East Africa, is unique for its geographical location. Half of Kenya lies in the Northern Hemisphere and half of it in the Southern. The equator slices this country into nearly two equal halves.

So, when the mercury climbs high up north, it is pleasant; even chilly; in this part of the world. While January to March mark the hottest months, June and July are the coldest.

Nairobi, Kenya's capital, has direct flights from both Delhi and Mumbai.

From Delhi and Mumbai:  While Air India flies a Delhi-Nairobi-Delhi thrice a week, Indigo connects Mumbai with Nairobi twice daily.

There are also two daily flights from Mumbai to Nairobi on Kenya Airways.

Prices:  The Air India prices usually hover around Rs 40,000 if you book a month or more before your trip. Indigo, true to its low-cost carrier promise, has a return trip priced around Rs 30,000. Mumbai-Nairobi round-trip fares on Kenya Airways are in the Rs 40,000-50,000 range.

How long:  A direct flight from Delhi to Nairobi takes 7.5 hours. From Mumbai, the flight duration is a little shorter: around 6 hours.

What to see

Nairobi:  The capital of Kenya is usually the starting point of all trips to Kenya.

Among the places to see here are the Nairobi National Park, the world-famous David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (book yourself a tour months in advance because tickets get sold out pretty quickly) to see orphaned elephants and rhinos, the Giraffe Centre, Maasai Market, Nairobi National Museum, and the Railway Museum.

Lake Naivasha:  On your way to Masai Mara from Nairobi, stop at Lake Naivasha for a boat ride and lunch. The drive to Masai Mara is through the Great Rift Valley.

Masai Mara:  No what-to-see list here is complete without the biggest attraction in Kenya, the Masai Mara national park.

Every year, when the herds of wildebeest make the crossing from Serengeti in Tanzania to Masai Mara in Kenya, millions of tourists flock to the national park to see this natural wonder.

Aptly titled the World's Greatest Road Show, the migration involves innumerable herbivores moving from Tanzania to Kenya in search of sweet grass. These wildebeest, zebra, elephants and other ungulates make the mighty crossing from one bank of the Mara to the other every July-August.

These months, understandably, comprise peak season in Masai Mara.

The 1,510 sq km area of Masai Mara provides food aplenty for these herbivore guests every year. On this side of the Mara river, the predators have a stupendous feast during these months. The prey far outnumber these carnivores.

Masai Mara is home to the big five: the African elephant, African lion, African rhino, African buffalo, and the elusive leopard. There are also numerous cheetahs that prowl around the grassland, waiting for a deer to pounce on. Crocodiles dot every inch of the river Mara.

If you opt for a hot-air balloon ride (dawn or dusk), you will be greeted with sweeping views of the savannah from the air, while the safari jeeps ply around on ground.

The safaris here run from dawn to dusk. They are organised by your resort or camp in Masai Mara.

Sanjeev Kumar, manager, Muthu Keekorok Lodge Masai Mara, tells India Today , "The pandemic brought Kenya's tourism to its knees just like any other destination, and we have been busy rebuilding since 2021. There has been a 14% increase in Indian tourists to Kenya in 2023 as compared to 2022, and the numbers are rising. Keeping the influx in mind, numerous hotels and lodges are attracting Indian visitors with options of vegetarian and non-vegetarian Indian dishes; including even no-onion or no-garlic food options!"

"Indians are wildlife lovers, and Masai Mara offers an unparalleled wildlife experience. The sheer abundance of wildlife in the region provides ample opportunities for close encounters and memorable sightings," says Kumar.

Where to stay: There are numerous resorts and camps in Masai Mara, suited for every budget. There's Governor's Camp in the park, Mara Siligi Camp, Eagle View Camp, Mara Serena Safari Camp, Ol Seki Hemingway's Mara Camp, etc.

Absolute high-end properties include Mahali Mzuri, Sala's Camp, &Beyond Bateleur Camp, Angama Mara, Sanctuary Olonana Safari Lodge, and Mara Plains Camp.

Entry fees:  From January 1, 2024, Masai Mara entry fees stand hiked to USD 100 (Rs 8,301) per person per day for non-resident adults. From July 1, 2024, which is the peak season, non-resident adults will have to pay USD 200 (Rs 16,600) per head per day. Children up to 8 years travel free. For children aged 9-17, the entrance fees are USD 50 per child per day.

Till last year, the park entry fees were USD 80 (Rs 6,641) per person per day.

However, this has hardly dented the number of visitors planning to visit Masai Mara.

Rohit Khattar, founder of travel company Your Travel Genie, who takes groups of travellers to Kenya every year, says, "July-August-September are the busiest travel months because photographers from all over the world are in Masai Mara for the wildebeest migration."

Sanjeev Kumar, meanwhile, thinks the increase in park entrance fees should happen gradually.

"It is too early to say whether it will make wildlife lovers rethink or worry about the increase to USD 200 a night from July to January. It means a couple will be expected to pay USD 400 a day. Visitors' average stay is two days, so it will mean USD 800 for entry, in addition to the accommodation, meals and game drives. The overall budget of visitors might be disturbed," says Kumar.

"Let me also make it very clear that we are not against the increase in park fees, but the steep hike from USD 80 to USD 200 will certainly keep a few visitors out of reach," says Sanjeev Kumar.

However, July is still five months away.

What else:  While in Masai Mara, take a few hours out to visit one of the Maasai villages to see firsthand how one of the oldest tribes in the world lives. The Maasai are known for their courage and their cows; and you will see both in abundance here. Pick up a few souvenirs while you're in the village.

Amboseli National Park:  At about 200 kilometres from Nairobi lies Amboseli, Kenya's other famous national park. Amboseli is popular with tourists for lying at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak.

So, your wildlife photos will come with that stunning backdrop of the snow-capped extinct volcano. Activities in Amboseli include game drives, picnics and sundowners, a trip to Observation Hill, and so on.

Mount Kenya:  The second-highest peak in Africa, Mount Kenya is known for hiking, trekking and mountaineering opportunities.

Lake Nakuru National Park:  Lake Nakuru attracts thousands of pink flamingos every year, from July to February. It lies 3.5 hours and 150 kilometres from Nairobi.

Nakuru also has rhinos, giraffes, and other wildlife. It is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Ramsar Wetland of International Importance.

Tsavo National Parks:  Hop on the Madaraka Express from Nairobi to Mombasa to see the Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks. The train line runs right through the national parks. The six-hour, USD 25 (Rs 2,075) journey from Nairobi to Mombasa is immensely rewarding in terms of what you can see outside the window: giraffes, elephants, zebra... so keep an eye out.

Mombasa and Diani Beach:  Diani, one of Africa's best beaches, lies on the Indian Ocean. It is 30 kms from Mombasa. Snorkelling, swimming, diving, kite surfing are all part of the Diani experience.

In addition to these, if you have more time in Kenya, visit Lamu Island and the Samburu National Reserve.

What you need for a trip to Kenya

First up, a yellow fever vaccine. You need to get yourself the yellow fever jab before flying to Kenya. Since the vaccines are available only at certain government-designated centres, plan your dates carefully. You will also need to take adult polio drops to travel to Kenya.

Visa:   Kenya is visa-free for Indians starting January 1, 2024. However, visa-free does not mean free entry into the country. You still need to get an eTA, or electronic Travel Authorisation before entering the country. Register yourself on the Immigration and Citizen Services portal  and fill in your details. You need to pay USD 32.50 (Rs 2,700), plus bank and processing fees.

Currency:  One Indian rupee is equivalent to 1.74 Kenyan shilling. If you're getting your dollars converted into the local currency, it is a good idea to do it at a bank. The cost of living and everyday rates are lower than in India; so, the Kenyan cities are a breeze for the Indian traveller. Unlike Europe, where you are frantically multiplying every euro by 90 to get an idea of how much you're spending; it is the opposite here.

What to keep in mind

For a trip to Kenya, especially during the migration season, you might want to pack your cameras and lenses along. Also, given that you will be staying in Masai Mara, carry a mosquito repellent cream or lotion. Load up on the sunscreen.

Check for the weather predictions and pack your jackets and warm clothes accordingly. You'd not want the dawn chill to spoil your Masai Mara experience after all!
