Is Kenya good for solo travel?

Our small group tours are popular with couples, families and single travellers alike, so you'll be in good company and bound to make new friends during your trip.

They will show you all of the must-see sights of Kenya, as well as some of the lesser-known hidden gems for an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime safari trip.

When is the best time to visit Kenya?
One of the best times to visit Kenya is between July to October. During this time you’ll experience one of the best highlights of the year: the remarkable Great Wildebeest Migration, where herds of wildebeest and zebra arrive into Maasai Mara Game Reserve. There's no doubting that Maasai Mara is one of the best African safari destinations for spotting the Big Five and more, either.

However, Kenya’s allure extends beyond this mass migration season. The months of January to March and June to October present optimal game-viewing conditions across various national parks and reserves, as they’re marked by dry weather and clear skies. Alternatively, if you’re keen to go birdwatching in Kenya, the months of November to April bring migratory species to the forefront. Overall, Kenya is considered a great year-round safari destination and offers phenomenal wildlife sightings whatever time you choose to visit.
