Kenya Safaris
Why Visit Kenya ?
Kenya is the historic home of the African safari — a land where the word “safari” was first used and where the legend of the Big Five still draws travellers from around the world. With a strong mix of wildlife, landscapes, and culture, it remains one of the top destinations for a classic African adventure.
At Detour Africa, our Kenya safari tours focus on putting you close to nature’s biggest wildlife moments while also connecting you with the rich traditions of the Maasai and Samburu people.

- Witness the Great Migration in the Masai Mara. The number one reason many travellers book Kenya safari packages is to see the Great Migration. Between July and October, over two million wildebeest, zebra, and antelope move across the plains of the Masai Mara. River crossings, predators on the hunt, and open grasslands make this one of the most dramatic wildlife events in Africa.
- Experience Maasai Culture. A Kenya safari tour is not only about wildlife. Many journeys include opportunities to learn about Maasai culture, one of East Africa’s most well-known communities. Visiting local villages, learning about traditions, and understanding the close link between people, land, and wildlife adds depth to your safari experience.
- Iconic Views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Although Mount Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania, some of the best views are from Kenya’s Amboseli National Park. Seeing elephants move across the plains with Kilimanjaro rising in the background is a classic moment on many safaris in Kenya.
- Diverse Landscapes of the Great Rift Valley. Beyond the savannahs, Kenya tours reveal the dramatic scenery of the Great Rift Valley. From Lake Nakuru, known for rhinos and birdlife, to the calm waters of Lake Naivasha where boat trips offer a change of pace, this region adds variety and striking landscapes to any Kenya safari holiday.
- Combine Safari and Beach in One Trip. One of the big advantages of booking Kenya travel packages is how easy it is to add a beach stay. After time on safari, many travellers head to Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast — destinations like Diani Beach and Watamu offer warm waters, palm-lined beaches, and relaxed coastal resorts. A Kenya safari and beach holiday gives you both wildlife adventure and downtime in one trip.
- A Hub for East Africa Adventures. Kenya also serves as a gateway to wider East Africa travel. Many Kenya safari tours can be combined with Tanzania’s Serengeti, gorilla trekking in Uganda, or time on Zanzibar, making it a flexible starting or ending point for longer journeys.
Whether you’re seeking a family safari adventure, a romantic beach getaway, or an exclusive retreat in the heart of the wilderness, our handcrafted Kenya vacation packages cater to all tastes and preferences.

When to Visit
The best time to visit Kenya for a safari is during the dry season from June to October, when wildlife viewing is at its peak and the Great Migration in the Masai Mara usually takes place. Animals gather around water sources, making game drives especially rewarding.
Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast is warm and humid year-round, with rain possible in any month, so beach stays are best paired with your safari timing rather than strict seasons.

Kenya FAQ'S
Do I need a visa to visit Kenya?
Kenya uses an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system. Most travellers need to apply online before departure, so it’s one of those things to sort out ahead of time rather than on arrival. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates.
When can I see the Great Migration in Kenya?
What currency is used in Kenya?
What vaccinations do I need for Kenya?
What should I pack for a Masai Mara safari?
What is Kenya’s plastic bag ban?
Is Kenya good for a family safari?
Can I combine Kenya and Tanzania in one trip?
Absolutely. Combining Kenya and Tanzania safaris is one of the most popular East Africa travel options. It allows you to experience both the Masai Mara in Kenya and the Serengeti in Tanzania, which form part of the same ecosystem and host the Great Migration at different times of year.
Many itineraries also include Ngorongoro Crater or Zanzibar beaches, making it a well-rounded safari and beach combination.
