The Best Kenya Safaris Destinations

These are the 8 best destinations for mid-range or luxury safari in Kenya.

Luxury Safaris in Kenya Destination #1 - Masai Mara National Reserve

Best Kenya Safaris - Lions in Amboseli National Park

What makes the Mara such an unbeatable spot for luxury safaris in Kenya? There’s the fact that it’s home to over 90 different mammal species, over 450 bird species and incredible wildlife viewing opportunities. The Masai Mara National reserve is also home to thousands of reptiles, including the leopard tortoise, gecko, crocodiles, and snakes. There’s also the fact that the Masai Mara scenery is breathtakingly beautiful, from its sun-burned, sometimes lush, grasslands to its scattered acacias and towering escarpments.

Things to do during Kenya Safari Tours in Masai Mara

If the wildlife and scenery aren’t enough to draw you in on a Maasai Mara National Reserve Safari, how about a scenic morning, afternoon, or evening game drive around the park? Or a jaw-dropping Masai Mara hot-air balloon safari at sunrise? Cap that off with a sundowner and bush dinner, and you’ll understand why Maasai Mara is the best Kenya safaris destination.

The Maasai Mara is also the best Kenya safari destination for walking safaris, night game drives, and big 5 safaris. During game drives in Masai Mara, expect to see rhino, buffalo, leopard, elephants, lions, cheetahs, and other classic safari animals.

If you plan your trip between July and October, you will see the annual wildebeest migration. The wildebeest migration involves the crossing of over 1.2 million wildebeest from Serengeti National Park in Tanzania into Kenya’s Masai mara National reserve.

The Best safari lodges in Masai Mara include:

Entim Mara Camp, Angama Mara, BaseCamp Masai Mara, IlKelian Masai Mara, Great Plains Masai Mara, and Mara Serena Safari Lodge. We also like the Mara Sopa Lodge, Mara Engai Wilderness lodge, Keekorok Lodge Masai Mara, Sarova Mara Game Camp and the Mara Intrepids Tented Camp.

Sand River Masai Mara, Mahali Mzuri, Olare Mara Kempinski Masai Mara, and Neptune Mara Rianta Luxury Camp, are our top picks for luxury tented camps in Maasai Mara National Reserve.

Safari Kenya Destination #5 - Mt. Longonot National Park

Across its thick forest and scenic landscape, there is plenty of evidence why Mt. Longonot is one of the best, often overlooked, destinations for all-inclusive safaris in Kenya and beach holidays.

Mt Longonot is a place of unimaginable beauty- from its wide varieties of wildlife- think buffaloes, lions, bushbucks, elands, leopards, giraffes, gazelles, and zebras – to its crater rim with jaw-dropping views of Lake Naivasha and the Great Rift Valley.

Best Kenya Safaris Destination #6 - Diani Beach

Blinding white sands, piercing blue waters, and a beautiful array of towering palm trees- Diani makes a strong case for being the most breathtaking beach in Africa. Our Kenya safaris from Nairobi introduce you to the side of Diani that is often overlooked; her luxurious side.

We take you where the beach is most secluded, where her waters are at their clearest, and to the poshest resorts, we can find. Some highlights include the insanely scenic and romantic Tamarind Dinner Cruise, skydiving, snorkelling and diving, wildlife sighting at the Shimba Hills Reserve, glass-boat tours, and island bird watching at Kisite Mpunguti.

Fun fact: Diani has been voted the best beach in Africa for six consecutive years by the World Travel Awards.
