Kenya is an iconic safari destination. Enjoy incredible wildlife encounters and stunning, varied landscapes.

One of the most iconic East Africa safari destinations, Kenya is renowned for its brightly coloured tribes and soaring savannahs, home to the great migration of wildebeests and Africa’s 'Big Five'. 

Perfect for romantic getaways, luxury honeymoons or immersive family safaris, Kenya offers world-class wildlife adventure, safari experiences on private reserves, and and some of the most luxurious lodges and safari camps on the continent. 

A Kenyan safari offers striking contrasts, with snow-capped mountains bordering vast deserts, jungle-rimmed coastlines spilling out onto the sparkling ocean, ancient plunging valleys and thundering waterfalls, and lush forests giving way to vast plains. 

The diverse range of landscapes hold some of the world’s most eclectic and abundant wildlife, with the opportunity to venture out on game drives to spot Africa’s ‘Big Five’, including lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards and buffalo. 

The country is also home to scores of baboons, giraffes and flamingos, endangered species such as the black rhino, and millions of thundering zebras and wildebeest that you can observe on a thrilling migration safari.  

Kenya is a haven for wildlife, with an incredibly successful network of national parks, wildlife reserves and conservation initiatives, making it possible to witness these magnificent species in their natural habitats. Wayfairer has partnered with world leaders in conservation to ensure your trip is not only unforgettable but also benefits all the communities visited. 

Walk through the Sera Community Conservancy in search of protected rhinos, within the undiscovered northern frontier near Samburu National Park and Nakuru National Park. 

Explore the Masai Mara National Reserve with Maasai warriors as responsible guides, who are experts in local conservation. 

Follow the great migration over the border into the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, or head further inland to the rich Laikipia plateau region, with rocks frequently topped by prides of lions or a lazy leopard relaxing in the afternoon sun. 

Witness a brilliant Kenyan sunset, with the iconic image of a lone acacia tree silhouetted against the sizzling golden horizon. Complete your Kenya safari tour with a trip to the laidback Kenyan coast - the perfect pinnacle of any honeymoon or luxury safari to Kenya. 

The beaches offer great snorkeling and diving excursions, unadulterated beach time, or for those looking for even more wildlife, the undiscovered coastal forest of Shima Hills National Reserve awaits. Kenya is the true ‘Out Of Africa’ experience.

"This was a dream trip I had thought about for years and somehow they managed to exceed what I had hoped for. Could not have asked for more."

"An outstanding experience with Wayfairer, Cat and Juan helped to organise, and manage, an amazing safari for a group of six.

The highest recommendation is that we plan to use Wayfairer again and again!"

"This was my second trip with Wayfairer - my first (to Africa) was so amazing, I was worried that I would be disappointed.....not a chance. Once again, the itinerary, the guides, the little touches, were superb. I am already thinking about what trip I will have Wayfairer plan next!
