When you book with us, you’re not just getting a tour operator – you’re getting a local friend who knows the ins and outs of every corner of this incredible nation. Our expert guides will help you navigate the best spots to see the Big Five, when to visit the Maasai Mara, and how to make the most of your time in Nairobi.
Logistics 101: Getting to Kenya and Beyond
So, you’ve decided to take the leap and plan your dream safari. But before you can start thinking about spotting lions and elephants, you’ve got to get to Kenya. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here are the basics:
- Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) is the main entry point for most international flights.
- We offer private transfers from the airport to your accommodation, so you can start your adventure in style.
- Kenya has a relatively straightforward visa process, but be sure to check the requirements before your trip.

Kenya is a country of breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife. From the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya to the sun-kissed savannas of the Maasai Mara, we’ll show you the best of the best. Don’t miss:
- The Great Rift Valley, with its stunning scenery and rich geological history.
- The Lake Nakuru National Park, home to millions of flamingos and a haven for birdwatchers.
- The Tsavo National Park, one of the largest national parks in Africa and a haven for wildlife enthusiasts.
