Most of our group joining safaris include transport in a comfortable safari van or 4x4 with a pop-up roof for excellent game viewing, professional English-speaking driver-guide, full-board accommodation (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) at carefully selected lodges or tented camps, and all park entry fees. They are an excellent and affordable way to meet fellow travelers while exploring Kenya's iconic parks.

Q: Can I visit Nairobi National Park and still catch my flight?

Absolutely. Our Nairobi National Park Halfday Gamedrive is designed for travelers with limited time. The park is uniquely located just outside the city, and this tour offers an early morning or afternoon game drive, providing a guaranteed opportunity to see wildlife like lions, rhinos, and giraffes against the backdrop of the city skyline. We can arrange for a drop-off directly at the airport afterward.

Q: What makes the "Fly-In Safaris" a more luxurious option?

Our Fly-In Safaris are ideal for those who want to maximize their time on safari and minimize travel time. Instead of long road journeys, you’ll take a scenic flight directly into the Maasai Mara, allowing for immediate game viewing. These packages also feature stays at premium lodges like Mara Engai Lodge or Royal Mara Safari Lodge and can be combined with unique activities like a horseback ride or a hot air balloon safari.

Q: Do you offer any "Premium" or luxury safaris?

This unique combo tour offers the best of both worlds: world-class wildlife viewing in the Maasai Mara and an adventurous trek on Mount Kenya. You can experience the thrill of spotting the Big Five on the savannah and then challenge yourself with a hike on Africa’s second-highest peak, offering breathtaking landscapes and a sense of accomplishment.

Q: What kind of accommodations can I expect on a "Budget" safari?

Our budget safaris don't compromise on comfort. You’ll stay in clean and comfortable tented camps or budget lodges that offer essential amenities like comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms with hot showers, and communal dining areas.
