What Our Guests Say

"From inquiry to confirmation, last minute adjustments were handled professionally by them, particularly by Michelle — she was so kind to accommodate our requests and checked on us from time to time while we were on safari. Our driver and now a good friend Kelvin made sure our trip was all taken care of. From early mornings to long drives, he even brought us to a local Nyama Choma house and helped us with things we needed in Nairobi after the safari. The company has amazing, warm people that make sure guests are comfortable and looked after. A great glimpse of what Kenya's culture is all about."

"Third safari with Plentiful Adventures. This time we did the luxury Mara-Serengeti crossing. The lodges were exceptional, the food incredible, and the wildlife sightings nonstop. What keeps me coming back is the personal service — they remember what I liked last time and build on it."

"The fly-in safari to Samburu was worth every penny. Landing on that airstrip in the middle of the bush, then driving straight into a herd of elephants — nothing compares. The team handled all the logistics so I could just enjoy the experience."

"This safari was incredibly special for me because it was the first time taking most of my family on safari — and it could not have gone better. From the start, everything felt thoughtful, well-paced, and genuinely tailored to us. The Masai Mara was the absolute highlight, and our guide Sammy made the experience exceptional. We were fortunate to see the full Big Five (including rhinos in Nairobi National Park), but what really stood out was how strategic and intentional his guiding was. He knew that our best chance of seeing a leopard would be in specific parts of the Mara and planned our drives accordingly — staying in contact with rangers and other guides so we were often ahead of the crowd. That made a huge difference. The sightings felt calm, well-timed, and unhurried. Tsavo was special in a completely different way. The landscape felt vast and dramatic, and the guided nature walk added a slower, more immersive dimension. The night safari was a real standout — I genuinely don't know how the guide managed to spot animals in near darkness. Our favourite stay was Mara Elatia Luxury Camp, which felt genuinely unique — intimate, beautifully integrated into the landscape, and the perfect balance between comfort and authenticity. What I appreciated most was how flexible and accommodating the team was, including adding the beach extension and diving at the coast. This was the first safari for most of my family, and they are already talking about coming back."

"I booked the 3-day Maasai Mara budget safari for my parents visiting from the US. The price included everything — park fees, meals, transport. No surprise charges. My dad still talks about the sunrise game drive where we spotted a cheetah hunting."

"As a solo female traveler, safety was my top priority. From the moment I landed in Nairobi, I felt looked after. My guide Joseph knew every corner of Amboseli — and seeing Kilimanjaro at golden hour with elephants silhouetted against it was the highlight of my year."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your East Africa safari.

How much does a Kenya safari cost?

A Kenya safari typically costs between $150 and $600 per person per day, depending on accommodation tier and group size. Budget camping safaris start from around $150pp/day, mid-range lodge safaris run $250–$400pp/day, and luxury fly-in safaris can reach $600+pp/day. We offer packages starting from $540 per person for a 3-day Maasai Mara safari.

What is the best time to go on safari in Kenya?

The best time for a Kenya safari is July to October for the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Maasai Mara, and January to February for the calving season in the southern Serengeti. The dry seasons (June–October and January–February) offer the best game viewing across all parks as animals gather around water sources.

Do I need a visa to visit Kenya?

Yes. Kenya now uses an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) system. Most nationalities can apply online at etakenya.go.ke before travel. The fee is USD $30 for most applicants. East African Community citizens (Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, DRC) do not require a visa.

What is included in a Plentiful Adventures safari package?

Our safari packages typically include park entry fees, a private 4x4 safari vehicle with a professional driver-guide, accommodation, meals as specified, and airport transfers. International flights, travel insurance, and personal spending are not included. We provide transparent, itemised quotes so you know exactly what you are paying for.

How far in advance should I book a safari?

We recommend booking at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for peak season travel (July–October) or if you want to combine Kenya with gorilla trekking in Uganda or Rwanda. Gorilla permits in particular sell out months ahead. For off-peak travel, 4–8 weeks notice is usually sufficient.

Can I combine a Kenya safari with Tanzania or Zanzibar?

Absolutely. Kenya–Tanzania combinations are among our most popular itineraries — typically pairing the Maasai Mara with the Serengeti or Ngorongoro Crater. Many guests also add 3–4 nights in Zanzibar at the end for a beach extension. We handle all cross-border logistics including visas and transfers.
