Kenya Luxury Safari Holidays

Kenya’s title as the ‘land of the original safari’ makes it the ultimate authority on animal-focused adventures. From the legendary Masai Mara National Reserve to Tsavo East National Park (and the additional 22 national parks in between), Kenya luxury safari holidays guarantee an abundance of wildlife sightings, combined with the most luxurious lodges and world-class cuisine. Begin your days with early morning game drives alongside an expert tracker and guide. Tick the big names including leopards, rhinos, elephants, buffalos and lions off your list and be sure to have your camera at the ready to capture lasting memories of these once-in-a-lifetime experiences. The luxury runs through every aspect of your tailor-made holiday and you can rest assured that each lodge will match every possible expectation of comfort and glamour.

"Charlotte was particularly helpful with booking the safari and gave very good advice - it really helped that she had stayed at the lodges and hotels before. All of the accommodation was excellent, and the game drives were a real highlight, as were the staff at Saruni Samburu and Kinondo Kwetu. The information throughout was very clear and the overall experience was seamless - thank you!"

"It was a BRILLIANT holiday, we all loved it. Given all that we did and saw, it felt a lot longer than two weeks – possibly the best family holiday ever. The itinerary was great, with a really nice mix of camps and scenery, so eight days in the bush didn’t feel too much. Connections were slick, short and efficient, ground staff were super helpful. Having the majority of time in conservancies rather than national parks was absolutely right – we needed the variety of walks, night drives, bush meals, etc., or else too much sedentary truck time. Great job by our consultant and all at Original. Thank you."

"James - thank you. We had a truly wonderful and memorable trip. Everything that Original Travel had a hand in was perfect. Our time at Lewa was perfect and Sirikoi is very special. Sarara was also great and we loved the Samburu experience. Kinondo Kwetu is also a special place. I was not expecting the food to be a highlight, but it was a revelation. We will go back to Kenya. We will go back to Sirikoi. We will probably go back to Sarara. We are properly happy punters. James and Team – thank you. "

The Masai Mara might be the most iconic of Kenya’s safari destinations, and for good reason, yet there are also a number of lesser-known conservancies which promise a more intimate safari experience. Take to the waters of Lake Naivasha for a safari from an alternative perspective; spot giraffes, gazelles and zebras from the comfort of a canoe, as you drift towards Crescent Island Reserve. Here you’ll find an impressive array of birdlife, including pelicans, herons and ibises. Rise with the sun in the Samburu Reserve to enjoy dawn game drives, and watch creatures emerge from their slumbers as the sky is streaked with ochre-hues.


Set against the backdrop of Mount Kenya, Laikipia is home to the Borana Wildlife Conservancy, a pioneer of animal conservation, where it’s possible to explore the acacia savannahs and rolling plains on foot; this allows you to experience the landscape without any separation. Kenya luxury safari holidays can also include a slice of island life in idyllic Lamu or on the Tanzanian archipelago of Zanzibar. After the adrenaline-inducing rush of seeing the famed ‘Big Five’ up close, the tranquillity of icing-sugar beaches offer some well-earned relaxation. Embrace this change of pace by spending your final days in a private villa, nestled within a sun-dappled coconut grove and bordered by unspoilt beaches.
