Kenya Safari Holidays

When on safari, there is an undeniable feeling that you are witnessing something completely magical and in Kenya, you’ll experience pinch-me moments at every turn from the sight of a caramel-coloured cheetah perched in the sun-sizzled grass, to a tree flecked with the turquoise of a Lilac Breasted Roller, the country’s national bird. Tick a stunning safari sunrise off your bucket list, whether that be in the swaying savannah of the Masai Mara, or while watching a critically endangered black rhino trundle past in Ol Pejeta Conservancy. And, if you are feeling adventurous, venture out on a walking safari with an expert guide for an adrenaline-fueled and eco-friendly Kenyan safari experience. After a day in the wild, return to a tranquil tented camp where you can listen for the gentle grumble of pride of lions meandering beneath the expansive starry sky, or enjoy an outdoor bath in a treetop lodge while watching elephant calves clumsily snorkelling in the watering hole below in the amber evening light. Pull on your explorer boots for the ultimate adventure on one of our Kenya safari holidays.

"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. "

"Everything was absolutely pitch perfect - it really could not have been improved upon! It was a magical experience. The time spent with various Samburu men & women was incredibly interesting. I really appreciated the fact that all three places were either set up for / run by / contributing to & therefore truly part of the local community - it really showed. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh & wonderful, as were ALL the staff & guides. I cannot wait to go back! Thank you to James & all the team at Original Travel. "

With 24 national parks and numerous private conservancies, Kenya safari holidays offer endless opportunities for an adventure in the bush. The Maasai Mara is without a doubt one of the best-known national parks in Kenya as a result of the Great Wildebeest Migration, a spectacle that occurs within its sun-soaked plains each year. The adventure begins as soon as you arrive in the Mara, whether that be circling in a plane as you wait for a journey of giraffe to clear the runway, or by car, spotting endless clusters of elephants as you make your way to camp. Stay in a lodge or camp that radiates rustic luxury to experience the rich, untamed spectacles that the Mara has to offer.


Venture north to Lake Nakuru National Park for a spectacular array of wildlife including pretty pink flamingos that gather at the water’s edge in their thousands. Stay in one of the boutique tented camps in the area to enjoy an exquisite combination of luxury comforts and authentic Kenyan charm. To document your adventure, borrow one of our GoPros and head into the bush with an expert guide to seek out wildlife that will knock your binoculars off.


With so much more of Kenya’s safari kingdom left to explore, all of this is just the tip of the iceberg. Discover what south Kenya has to offer with a safari among orphan elephants in Tsavo East National Park or enjoy a cold Tusker (Kenya’s favourite lager) at Pride Rock in Hell’s Gate National Park for the ultimate Lion King experience. From beautiful, red clay-coated spas, to trips out into the bush to take a cast of Simba’s pawprint – the most unique safari souvenir to bring home – our Kenya safari holidays have something to suit every generation.
