Experience Top Safaris in Kenya

On the look out

Kenya is renowned for its abundance of wildlife, stunning scenery and friendly locals.  At Somak, we have some great Kenya safari packages that are suitable for everyone, from groups to solo travellers and couples to families with children. So whether you’re most excited about the Big Five (elephant, lion, buffalo, rhino and leopard), hot-air balloon rides, or immersing yourself in the local culture,  a Kenya  safari holiday is a rewarding experience.

Here are some of our top safari experiences in Kenya for you to enjoy:

Sleeping under the stars in the Masai Mara
If it’s a luxury safari holiday in Kenya that you’re after, the Ashnil Mara Camp definitely delivers. With  stylishly furnished tents, incredible views of the savannah and delicious buffet meals, this camp provides a splendid place to relax in after a full day of exploring the Masai Mara. As an added bonus, you can start everyday with breakfast overlooking a hippo pool – munch on your toast and watch these hippos happily wallowing in the water.

Ashnil Mara Camp

For a full, inclusive Masai Mara experience, try our Flying Ashnil Mara itinerary. This three-night package includes game drives where you’ll have the opportunity to see the Big Five: elephants, lions, leopards, buffalos and rhinos. As if that wasn’t enough, the Ashnil Mara Camp is also the ideal location to witness one of the world’s greatest events: the annual wildebeest migration. Sit out on the camp deck and watch huge herds of wildebeest cross the Mara River right in front of your eyes.

Soaring in the Kenyan skies
Many of our excellent Kenyan safari packages give you the option to include a hot–air balloon ride over the Masai Mara. Our six-night Serena Explorer itinerary, for example, gives you the opportunity to take to the skies on your sixth day. After your early morning balloon safari, you’ll have a champagne breakfast in the bush – arguably the best way to start the day. Floating over these rolling African plains is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and can make a romantic addition to any holiday.

Soar over the Masai Mara

As well as spending two days at the Masai Mara, this itinerary also includes time at Sweetwaters where you can visit a black rhino and chimpanzee sanctuary, and Lake Elementeita, which is the perfect place for bird watching. As part of this package, you’ll stay at three different Serena properties: Sweetwaters Serena Camp, Lake Elmenteita Serena Camp and Mara Serena Lodge. Each one allows you to sleep right in the heart of all the action, so you’ll be able to take full advantage of your Kenyan safari.

Perfect for culture vultures
To add a cultural twist to your Kenyan safari experience, why not visit a tribal village?  Two of the most well-known tribes in Kenya are the Masai and the Samburu, each offering a glimpse into their traditional pastoral lifestyle and Kenya’s unique culture.

The Kenya Royal Safari package allows you to spend time at both the Masai Mara National Reserve and the Samburu National Reserve, with the option to add tribal village visits. In addition to learning more about Kenya’s rich history, you’ll also go out on game drives and have the chance to spot some of the diverse wildlife Kenya has to offer.
