Is it safe to travel to Kenya?

Many people travelling to the African continent have questions about safety. Is Kenya safe to travel to? Our answer is clear: YES!

Kenya is definitely a safe country to visit, especially for people going on organised game drives with private guides as you will do with us. There are definitely some places to avoid in big cities like Nairobi or Mombasa, but – as with all big cities – by taking some precautions, you’ll be fine. We advise, for example, to leave the hotel at night with a driver and not to go strolling around alone. Also be aware not to wear big and visible jewellery, and keep an eye on your valuables.

What can I expect from a safari with Africa Safari Trips?

This is a private and exclusive safari designed to let you travel at your own pace. The journey is tailored specifically to you, exactly according to your preferences. Our experienced travel consultants ensure that every detail aligns with your wishes.

There are many benefits to this personalized experience. To begin with, you will travel in a private safari vehicle accompanied by your own dedicated guide. You have full flexibility to decide when to start your day and when to return, while still benefiting from your guide’s expert advice. Additionally, once inside a national park, you can spend as much time as you wish observing particular animals or herds, without feeling rushed. Finally, with a clear understanding of your interests, your personal guide will offer insightful recommendations, transforming your safari into a truly unforgettable adventure.

Can I see the Big Five in Kenya?

You can even get up close and personal with these white rhinos!

Lake Nakuru National Park

Lake Nakuru National Park is an incredible wildlife paradise located in the heart of the Great Rift Valley. The park’s major attraction, Nakuru Lake, attracts hundreds of birds to its beaches. The park was once noted for its large flamingo population, but rising water levels forced these birds to migrate elsewhere. Fortunately, they are gradually returning, and in any event, Lake Nakuru is a fantastic site to visit, with black and white rhinos, giraffes, buffalos, lions, the occasional leopard, and over 400 bird species.
