Travel To Kenya. One can trace the beginning of Kenya Tourism to the turn of the 20th century in the early 1930s, during the era when Kenya was under British Colonial rule, when the very first wildlife Safaris on the African continent were taking place in the country, more in the form of expeditions into the unexplored wilderness, teeming with magnificent wild animals. Today, Kenya is the home of the Safari package, a destination where one can experience seeing an animal paradise in truly amazing places such as Masai Mara and Amboseli.
Blessed with breathtaking landscapes, a friendly local population, pleasant year round weather and the rich collection of wildlife, it is little surprise then that Kenya Tourism offers one of the most desired travel experiences in the world. This website Kenya Tourism, is meant to be your guide to planning a Safari to Kenya and making the most of your visit to East Africa. Travelers considering visiting Kenya have many questions regarding their trip, from the best month to visit to which places to go to and how to plan a Kenya safari and we are here to provide the best advise and guidance for your proposed trip.
Things To Do In Kenya
Kenya offers tourists many exciting activities to enjoy, with one of the most thrilling experiences being a Hot Air Balloon Safari at the break of dawn, followed by a ‘Champagne Bush Breakfast’ in the scenic wilderness of the Masai Mara. This truly unique adventure activity is often one of those ‘Bucket list’ experiences for many travelers visiting Kenya. Another popular excursion in Kenya, specifically in Masai Mara or Amboseli National Park, is visiting a traditional tribal Maasai village which allows visitors a fascinating insight into the way of life of the famous nomadic Maasai tribe. In addition, one can choose to book everything from guided nature walks, sundowners, bush meals and picnics and horse or camel riding as part of your Safari in Kenya.
Kenya has a rich diversity of wildlife, with up to 390 species of mammals and over 1,100 bird species. While exploring one of the many national parks or reserves on safari, visitors can expect to spot not only the widely known ‘Big Five’ but also the ‘Big Nine’. These include the Lion, Elephant, Leopard, Buffalo, Rhino, Giraffe, Zebra, Cheetah, and Hippo, especially when visiting parks that host all these incredible animals. The link below is a check list of animals and birds present in Kenya and includes basic information on each animal.

All the tours below can be booked online and are private, ideal for couples, families and groups. Included are the best Safaris to Masai Mara where you can see the wildebeest migration. We also have more Fly-in Safaris with accommodation at luxury tented camps, avoiding road travel.
Tours By Road
Even today the majority of tourists visiting Kenya still prefer taking a Safari entirely by road. The tour typically starts and ends in Nairobi, with the choice of vehicles being a the Safari Minibus / Tour Van or the more costly 4×4 Landcruiser Safari Jeep . The advantage of a safari tour by road is that you get to see and experience the ‘real’ Kenya and its rural countryside as well as the lower cost of surface transport. The downside is the longer travel journey times and below average road conditions in places. For those with limited time we suggest taking a Fly-in Safari.
Flying Safaris
A Fly -in Safari simply means that you would take a flight from Nairobi to the desired National Park of Reserve in Kenya instead of getting there by road. Most flights depart from the domestic Wilson Airport in Nairobi. Upon arrival at the airstrip in the respective National Park, a waiting Driver-Guide will receive you and transfer you to your chosen Camp or Lodge in a 4×4 Safari vehicle. Game drives too are provided in 4×4 Safari vehicles by the property ( camp or lodge).
