FAQ

Embark on a distinctive and private guided tour of Kenya, delving into lesser-known corners and encountering unique wildlife. Overnight stays are arranged in deluxe accommodations, ensuring a premium and exclusive travel experience.

Kenya offers a diverse array of parks and reserves, each with unique attractions, whether it's distinct topography or rare wildlife species. We recommend combining visits to two, three, or more parks to experience a wide variety of landscapes and animals. Some private reserves and conservancies offer night game drives and walking safaris, and they often have the added benefit of minimal tourist traffic, allowing for a more exclusive and intimate wildlife experience.

In most parks and conservancies, you can typically expect to see common grazing animals such as buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, eland, giraffe, gazelles, impala, and waterbuck. Lions, leopards, and cheetahs are present in most parks but are most easily spotted in the Maasai Mara and Mara Conservancies. Elephants are best seen in Selenkay and Amboseli, while rhinos are often sighted in Nairobi National Park, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, and Lake Nakuru Park.

A few safari camps offer Wi-Fi or internet access for guests, and more camps are introducing this feature, although download speeds can be slow. Some camps may have cell phone signals that allow internet access, depending on your phone plan and provider, though this can be costly. Most major hotels in Nairobi and along the coast provide internet access.

Tipping at safari camps is at your discretion, but a common guideline is to give a gratuity on the last day of your stay. Typically, guests tip about $5 to $10 per guest per full day to the Driver-Guide. Additionally, it's customary to leave around $5 to $10 per guest per night in the staff tip box for the rest of the camp staff. Since obtaining change or exchanging foreign currency can be challenging at smaller camps, it’s advisable to have Kenyan Shillings for tips before starting your safari.
