What To Expect From Kenya Luxury Safaris?

Luxury safaris in Kenya mainly consists of game drives as the major way to experience wildlife. Days begin with early morning game drives followed by an afternoon drive. During sunset, people enjoy sundowners, which are traditionally served with a gin and tonic, but you may also choose a drink from a tailgate minibar that is situated in a picturesque area.

Depending on your camp or lodge, a gourmet, multi-course dinner can be enjoyed with other guests, in the privacy of your room, or outdoors in the bush. In the evening, you may choose to gather around an outdoor fire, engage in stargazing, partake in a night game drive (depending on your location), relax on a star bed, or retreat to your accommodations to prepare for another remarkable day on safari.

Engaging in activities such as hot air ballooning in the Masai Mara National Reserve, guided bush walks, visits to community or conservation projects, horseback riding, camel safaris, mountain biking, fishing, scenic flights, among others, enhances the day’s experience with a variety of options.

Kenya offers an abundance of luxurious tented safari camps and lodges that showcase a variety of landscapes, including open savannah, acacia woodlands, grasslands, coastal beaches, and broadleaf forests.

How Much Does Luxury Safaris in Kenya Cost?

Luxury Safaris in Kenya costs begin from of $1,000 per person per night, assuming two individuals are sharing accommodations. These costs of Kenya Luxury Safaris may fluctuate due to seasonal variations and the private setting of the camp. The daily rate encompasses accommodation, expert guides, game viewing drives (both shared and private), gourmet meals, bar services, and land/air transfers throughout Kenya. It is essential to allocate funds for international flights, visas, gratuities, and miscellaneous expenses.

Travelers frequently inquire with our expert Guided Aloyo safari specialists about how to optimize their value. We are pleased to provide guidance on where to invest and where to economize; however, we cannot guarantee camp availability. To secure the optimal range of choices within your desired budget, it is advisable to plan your Kenya safari a year in advance—or even earlier. For the Masai Mara National Reserve during peak or high season, we advise planning at least 12 months in advance; for the green season, a two-month booking window may suffice.

We highly recommend visiting Kenya during its secret season (during September, October, January, February, March & June) if you are not obligated to travel during school vacations or calendar holidays and are not overly concerned about the Great Migration. The crowds diminish, and prices become more favorable. In the months typically linked to the short and long rains, properties are more likely to present incentives such as “stay four, pay for three.” While there may be occasional brief rain showers, the landscape will be vibrant and lush, presenting a striking contrast to the arid conditions of the dry season.

Where To Go Luxury Safaris In Kenya?

Kenya stands out as a premier safari destination, showcasing remarkable natural beauty, enriching cultural experiences, exceptional game viewing, and the exhilarating events of the Wildebeest Migration.

A Kenya safari offers an unforgettable experience, showcasing the impressive wildebeest mega-herds in the Masai Mara and the iconic elephant herds of Amboseli, all set against the stunning backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, along with enriching cultural encounters in Samburu. Additionally, our Kenya safaris can be seamlessly integrated with gorilla-trekking experiences in Uganda or Rwanda, or Mount Kilimanjaro or tropical beach holiday featuring stunning views of the turquoise waters and swaying palm trees of the Indian Ocean.

Much of Kenya consists of semi-arid desert, an area that remains largely unexplored by many travelers. Visitors to safari destinations are drawn to the Maasai Mara, Laikipia Plateau, Samburu County in the Rift Valley, Amboseli and Chyulu Hills, as well as Meru National Parks. Travelers typically arrive in Nairobi and explore two to four distinct regions before concluding their journey at the beaches of the Kenyan Coast.

With Great experience in tailoring Kenya Luxury safaris over the years, we have thoroughly explored and evaluated numerous Kenya safari destinations for Luxury safaris in Kenya. Discover our top Luxury Kenya safari Destinations designed to inspire your next adventure, to align with your travel preferences.

Masai Mara National Reserve

The Maasai Mara is almost always featured on a Kenya safari itinerary, as it offers unparalleled opportunities for African game-viewing. It is essential to acknowledge that this is a national reserve, functioning under specific restrictions, which include limited hours of operation. Leaving your vehicle is not permitted, and bush walks and hikes are not allowed, and night game viewing drives after dark are neither accepted.

The Mara tends to experience significant activity during high and peak seasons. While remaining within the Reserve is perfectly acceptable, we favor the private conservancies adjacent to the park for their enhanced flexibility, privacy, and exclusivity. We highly recommend Mara North Conservancy, Olare Orok Conservancy, Olare Motorogi Conservancy, and Naboisho Conservancy.

Laikipia

Laikipia is a notable destination, characterized by its vast expanse from Mount Kenya to the Great Rift Valley, comprising private ranches, communal grazing areas, and private reserves.

Although it may not offer the same abundance of wildlife as the Maasai Mara, Laikipia boasts fewer tourists and stunning vistas of elevated grasslands.

This location offers an excellent opportunity to leave the Land Cruiser behind and engage in a horseback safari, camel ride, or bush walk. Lewa, Ol Pejeta, Loisaba, and Solio represent our selected conservancies.

Samburu National Reserve

Samburu County is situated on the scorching, desert outskirts of Kenya’s expansive northern region, which contrasts sharply with the broad plains of the Maasai Mara or the woodland of Meru.

Explore this destination to escape the crowds, engage with the Samburu people, observe the ‘Samburu Special 5’ (herbivores exclusive to the northern hemisphere), in Samburu National Reserve and partake in distinctive activities such as rhino tracking on foot and visiting the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary.

Meru National Park

A visit to Meru National Park, a park that has been on a remarkable journey of recovery for two decades, offers rewarding opportunities to observe the Big Five. The park is characterized by its rivers and streams, which enhance its natural beauty. Additionally, it is home to a rhino sanctuary and a notable property, Elsa’s Kopje, favored by many visitors.

Amboseli and the Chyulu Hills

Located near the Tanzania-Kenya border, Amboseli National Park and Chyulu Hills National Park are positioned adjacent to Tsavo West in the core of Maasailand, safeguarding a vital migration corridor. This region is renowned for its large game, particularly the herds of African elephants, set against the backdrop of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro.

Throughout Kenya, there are fantastic chances to engage with different cultures, especially in Samburu, Laikipia, and the Maasai Mara.

Nairobi

A brief stay in Nairobi provides an opportunity to explore the city and engage with giraffes, all while acclimating to the time difference. Nairobi serves as a significant African hub, facilitating the seamless combination of a Kenya safari with its coastal beaches. A significant number of Extraordinary Journeys travelers extend their experience with a gorilla trek in the neighboring countries of Rwanda or Uganda.

Best Time To Visit Kenya For Luxury Kenya Safaris

June through October is the best time of year to visit Kenya for safaris because there is almost no constant rain, but have moderate daytime temperatures. However, Kenya is regarded as an excellent year-round safari and beach vacation destination, following its varied geography and temperate climate.

Majority of Kenya safari destinations reach their peak between January and the end of March, characterized by mild weather, predominantly dry conditions, and exceptional game viewing opportunities. A visit during the rainy season, from mid-March to June and again from November to December, is highly recommended. By traveling during the off-season, you will bypass the peak-season crowds and benefit from reduced rates at safari lodges in Kenya.

The best time to visit Kenya’s well-known beach destinations is a subject of debate: the Indian Ocean coastline experiences warm and humid conditions throughout the year, with the possibility of rainfall at any moment.

Attractions (What Animals To See), On a Luxury Kenya Safari?

There are almost 25,000 different animal species in Kenya’s more than 40 national parks, reserves, and private conservancies. You may see buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, rhino, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, cheetah, hyena, warthog, antelope species (impala, gazelle, eland, and kudu), hippo, and crocodile in rivers or waterholes, depending on the location or areas you visit during your luxury Kenya safari.

In particular, the Masai Mara national Reserve and the private conservancies that surround it are well-known for the large number of big cats and herds of wildebeest that come through during the Great Migration.
Elephant enthusiasts should pay close attention to Amboseli National Park, which is home to the world’s oldest elephant study, the Amboseli Trust for Elephants. Visit the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary in the Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy in northern Kenya. To discover how Africa’s first community-owned sanctuary “rescues to release,” you will be matched with an elephant keeper.

The rhino population in Kenya has experienced a terrible decline, declining from over 20,000 individuals in the 1960s to approximately 600 individuals now. The poor success of rhino recovery is partly due to the continued dominance of the illegal rhino horn market. They need 24-hour armed protection against poachers in areas where preserves and sanctuaries have been established. Meru National Park, Lewa Conservancy, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Borana Conservancy, Lake Nakuru National Park, and Nairobi National Park all offer thrilling chances to see endangered black and white rhinos. Twenty-one black rhinos were brought to Loisaba Conservancy in February 2024.

With over 1,100 bird species identified, Kenya is a birdwatcher’s paradise. The nation offers a wide variety of environments that are perfect for breeding and feeding, including wetlands and arid deserts. Many migratory and resident birds are drawn to the lakes of the Rift Valley, specifically Lake Nakuru, Lake Baringo, and Lake Naivasha. With 470 bird species known to exist, the Mara is also a well-liked location for birding. The African fish eagle, the scarlet-chested sunbird, the crowned hornbill, and vast flocks of flamingos are among the symbols of Kenya.
