Logistics 101: What You Need to Know
Getting There
When planning your trip to Kenya, getting there is just the beginning. Did you know that Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) is a major hub for connections throughout East Africa? We recommend flying into NBO and then taking a domestic flight to your final destination. Our team can help arrange all necessary transportation, including shuttle services and private transfers.
Accommodation Options
From luxury safari lodges to cozy boutique hotels, Kenya has a wide range of accommodation options to suit every taste and budget. We work closely with our partners to ensure that you’re booked into the best properties for your needs. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway or a family-friendly resort, we’ll find the perfect fit.
Must-See Highlights
The Great Migration
One of the world’s most epic wildlife spectacles, the Great Migration is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Witness the majestic wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles as they make their way across the Maasai Mara. We recommend visiting during the peak season (July to October) for the best views.
Mount Kenya National Park
Africa’s second-highest peak is a must-visit for any nature lover. Take a guided trek through the park’s stunning scenery, and spot exotic bird species, alpine vegetation, and even the occasional leopard.
Kenya’s Beaches
After a long day of exploring, unwind on one of Kenya’s stunning beaches. From the bustling resorts of Mombasa to the secluded coves of Lamu, we’ll help you find the perfect spot to soak up the sun and enjoy the turquoise waters.
Expert Travel Advice
The Best Time to Visit
