There are a variety of ways you can book your safari in Kenya. There are organised tour operators who will help you organise your Kenya safari. All the arrangements can be made before you even set foot in Kenya. This is ideal for peace of mind, knowing that your activities have been pre booked before you even arrive in Kenya. Although this is a reliable way to book your safari, is not always the cheapest option for you. In some cases it might work out considerably cheaper for you to make all the arrangements yourself when you arrive in Kenya. What ever method you choose you are sure to have a unique safari adventure which you can treasure for ever.
One of the most popular safari organisers are African Horizons. They have a superb selection of fantastic safaris for you to choose from and each one ranges in time and route. There are at least 10 different options for you to try so you are quite literally spoilt for choice. These safaris start at an eight day trek and can last for sixteen days. The accommodation on safari is not as you would expect, there isn?t a one man tent in sight on most of the tours. Even if you do end up in a tent, they are surprisingly spacious. Most of the accommodation consists of lodges and they are very clean and comfortable.
All of the safaris tend to start and finish at Nairobi although the sixteen day safari incorporates Tanzania into the tour.
The Simba Safari begins in Nairobi where you are transferred to your overnight hotel. From here you travel on to Amboseli where you are guided through the magnificent Amboseli National Park. Here you can see the superb lush grasslands and witness the abundance of local wildlife such the lion, cheetah, zebra, wildebeest and buffalo. There are two overnight stays in Amboseli at the Ambosseli Serena Lodge. After this, you are then driven to Lake Naukuru for another overnight stay at one of the lodges. From here you reach the vast desert plains of the Maasai Mara. After a two day stint here exploring the wildlife and predators home to this haunting desert you are escorted back to Nairobi.
The Mountains and Savannah safari tour begins and ends in Nairobi. Included in this tour is a trip to Mount Kenya and a two night stay at the Samburu Serene Lodge in the middle of your safari. Just like the Simba tour, you are guided through the Maasai Mara desert and then you get to enjoy an overnight stay at the Mara Safari Club.
Above are just a small selection of the quality safari tours on offer from African Horizons. Each tour has merit and provides you with a magnificent view of the Kenyan landscape.
