Question 1

When is the best time to visit Kenya?

Accepted Answer

July to October is peak season for the Mara migration. January to March is dry and warm with excellent game viewing. Kenya is a year-round destination, and we will advise on the best timing for your plans.

Question 2

How is pricing worked out?

Accepted Answer

Prices depend on season, lodge level, group size and vehicle. Every quote is itemised so you can see exactly what is included. Children under 12 sharing with adults receive reduced rates.

Question 3

Private or group safari: what is the difference?

Accepted Answer

A private safari gives you your own vehicle and guide, and full control of the pace. Group departures share a vehicle with other travellers and cost less.

Question 4

What vehicles do you use?

Accepted Answer

4x4 Land Cruisers with pop-up roofs for safaris, plus sedans, SUVs, vans, minibuses and coaches for transfers and groups. See the Fleet page for details.

Question 5

Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Our drivers and guides are experienced professionals, and our team supports every trip around the clock. We follow park rules and keep our vehicles maintained to a high standard.

Question 6

How do I pay, and what is the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

We accept M-Pesa, bank transfer and card. A 30% deposit confirms your booking, with the balance due 30 days before travel. Cancellations 60+ days out lose only the deposit; see our terms for the full scale.

Question 7

Do I need a visa?

Accepted Answer

Most visitors need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) before travelling to Kenya. Please check the latest official requirements for your nationality.
