How This Site Works

Who am I dealing with when I enquire?

The tour operator that sells the safari, directly. This site is a listing site: it publishes Kenya safaris from independent tour companies so you can compare them in one place. It does not sell, book or run any of the trips, it never handles your payment, and it does not add a fee to the operator's price.

How do I compare safaris here?

Use the filters to narrow the list by destination, activity and trip length, then open the listings that look close. Each one shows the operator, the day-by-day itinerary and the trip length, so you can put two or three side by side before you contact anyone.

Why do some safaris show a price and others do not?

Because only some operators have published one. Where a price is shown it is the operator's own figure and the operator confirms it when they quote you. Where none is shown, the listing says so rather than guessing - ask the operator and they will price it for your dates and group size.

How do park and conservancy fees work?

Kenya's national parks and national reserves charge a per-person entry fee for each day you are inside, and the private conservancies that border several of them charge their own fee on top. Whether those are already inside the figure on a listing varies from operator to operator, The Maasai Mara is the exception worth knowing about: it is run by Narok County rather than Kenya Wildlife Service, and its non-resident fee has a low and a high season. Check what the listing says is included and have the operator confirm the current rates when they quote you.

When is the best time to visit Kenya?

The drier months - roughly late June to October, and January to early March - give thinner bush, firmer tracks and the easiest general game viewing, and the migrating herds are usually in the Maasai Mara from around July to October, with August and September the densest part of it. The wetter months trade some comfort for green landscapes, newborn game and better birding, and the long rains from March to May are the quietest weeks of the Kenyan year.
