What to Expect From a Kenya Safari Package

While each Kenya safari package differs, most include a combination of wildlife viewing activities alongside comfortable lodge, tent camp or mobile camp accommodations.

Wildlife Viewing Drives & Activities

Game drives form the crux of any Kenya safari package. Hop aboard specialized 4×4 vehicles with pop-up roofs at dawn and dusk when animals are most active. Experienced driver-guides help spot elusive species and share fascinating facts. You may also enjoy:

• Bush walks with Maasai warriors
• Sundowners at remote sites while watching golden hour light and wildlife
• Ethical visits to Samburu/Maasai villages to learn about cultures

Comfortable Accommodations

Rest your head in unique wilderness lodges, luxurious permanent tented camps or mobile camps following the wildebeest migration across the Masai Mara. You’ll enjoy complimentary meals catering to dietary needs and high standard amenities. Expect en-suite bathrooms, 24-hour electricity, WiFi (sometimes) and excellent service.

Excursions Enhancing Your Safari

Most Kenya safari packages allow adding excursions like:

• Hot air balloon rides over migrating wildebeest herds in Masai Mara
• Hiking in Aberdare National Park’s forested moorlands
• Community initiatives supporting girls’ education with Brighte Maasai Adventures
• Mountain biking through Hell’s Gate National Park’s striking Rift Valley landscapes

This provides opportunities to experience Kenya beyond spectacular game drives!

Crafting Your Ideal Kenya Safari Adventure

With endless options for visiting Kenya’s dazzling diversity of parks and reserves, planning your perfect safari package can feel overwhelming initially. Here are key considerations when selecting your Kenya safari if traveling independently or with Brighte Maasai Adventures.

Step 1: Define Your Safari Goals, Style & Budget

What experience are you seeking on safari? Relaxing in luxury? Active family adventures? Intimate wildlife encounters? Romantic honeymoons or solo journeys? This clarifies priorities when choosing destinations and lodges.

Set realistic budgets accounting for park fees, accommodations, meals, transport and activities. Packages range from $150-$1500+ per day. Understand inclusions/exclusions before comparing.

Step 2: Choose Ideal Destinations & Timeframes

Kenya’s national parks/reserves each offer unique landscapes, wildlife densities and migration visitation times. Select based on safari goals. The Masai Mara hosts the wildebeest migration July-October, for example. While Amboseli National Park offers spectacular elephant and Kilimanjaro views year-round.

Step 3: Pick Your Accommodation Style

Will you prefer boutique tented camps, private luxury villas or exclusive eco-lodges? Go remote or stay near park conveniences? Understand options matching budgets from $100 to $2000+ nightly rates before deciding.

Step 4: Confirm Activities & Customizations

Most Kenya safari packages build in core game drives, but confirm any special interests like hot air balloon rides over the Mara are included or can be booked additionally before confirming your trip.

Popular National Parks & Reserves for Kenyan Safaris

From the world-famous Masai Mara hosting epic wildebeest migrations to Amboseli’s big skies with Kilimanjaro backdrops, Kenya dazzles with spectacular scenery and Africa’s iconic wildlife.

Masai Mara National Reserve

The Masai Mara delivers quintessential African imagery with golden plains dotted with acacia trees and prides of lions surveying grasslands. The annual Great Migration from July-October sees hordes of wildebeest and zebra herds in their quest for greener grazing. Leopards, cheetahs and hippos also inhabit the Mara.

Amboseli National Park

Amboseli charms with some of Kenya’s largest elephant herds roaming plains against the photogenic backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. Wildebeests, buffalos, big cats and over 400 bird species also call this park home.

Samburu, Buffalo Springs & Shaba National Reserves

In Kenya’s arid north, these adjoining parks protect the Ewaso Nyiro river allowing unique species like Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe and gerenuk antelope to thrive. Iconic predators—lions, cheetahs and leopards—also flourish with bountiful prey.

Enhancing Your Safari: Excursions & Activities

While wildlife viewing game drives usually take center stage on Kenyan safaris, adding any of these excursions allows you to delve deeper into authentic local cultures and communities.

Community & Cultural Encounters

Through our non-profit Brighte Maasai Adventures Foundation, visit a Maasai village in the Mara or Samburu region to learn about nomadic lifestyles relatively unchanged for centuries while supporting community education initiatives.

Hot Air Balloon Rides

Soar over spectacular savannas in a hot air balloon with bird’s-eye views of the Great Migration crossing crocodile-infested rivers in the Mara. An incredible perspective gazing down on herds stampeding across golden plains.

Hiking & Biking

Lace-up your hiking boots to climb Mt. Kenya or wander through the Aberdares’ indigenous rainforests. For striking Rift Valley scenery, bike or hike among zebras/antelopes in Hell’s Gate National Park.
