Luxury Kenya Holidays and Safaris

Think Kenya. Think safari.

The open plains of the Masai Mara dotted with single acacia trees and huge herds of animals offer the quintessential luxury safari holiday experience and, with its many excellent lodges, Kenya is a great choice for a luxury family safari adventure. The annual wildebeest migration during August, September and October will dazzle, delight and exhilarate - speak to an expert to establish the best places to stay to see it.

Meanwhile Kenya has much more to offer than the Mara with the often overlooked Meru National Park, the Amboseli and Samburu, all offering amazing safari options - the latter in particular famous for its huge herds of elephant. After all that wildlife, head to Kenya's Indian Ocean coastline, rich in Swahili culture, which offers some simply stunning beaches.

For a spectacular honeymoon, a safari with friends or a luxury family adventure holiday, Exsus adores captivating Kenya. Call 020 7337 9010 to speak to an expert or click on Enquire Now.

Regions

Masai Mara Thumb

Masai Mara

The most iconic of safari destinations needs no introduction, and it goes without saying that wildlife viewing here is second to none. See thousands of herd animals living side by side with the Maasai people, and seeing as it’s big cat territory you’ll rarely go for long without encountering fluffy cheetah cubs, or lionesses snoozing in the shade. Worth particular mention is the annual wildebeest migration which fills the reserve with the sound of thundering hooves for several months each year.

Amboseli Thumb

Amboseli

For iconic views of wildlife wandering under the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli National Park is the place to come. The mountain, just over the border in Tanzania, towers over the wetlands that make up the park. To see Amboseli in all her glory come in the lush wetter months, when Lake Amboseli fills with water and birdlife, and every tree, bush and shrub glows a vivid green. Worth particular mention are the famously large-tusked elephants – if you’re feeling energetic after all of those scrumptious safari meals you can climb Observation Hill and watch the herds sending clouds of dust into the air as they move over the plains.

Meru Thumb

Meru

For such a rewarding National Park, Meru is curiously overlooked; all the better for our clients! The thirteen rivers that run through Meru mean that you’re never short of wildlife here, and during the drier months, it’s truly spectacular. The rhino sanctuary means that all of the Big Five can be spotted in the area, but whether or not you’re ticking off your wish list, you’re sure to be impressed. Lions roam the park’s northern plains, baobab trees sit bloated against the sky-line, and bataleur eagles float lazily on the thermals above. Our hidden gem? It has to be Offbeat Meru: one of Kenya’s most delightful and underrated camps.

Chyulu Hills Thumb

Chyulu Hills

Nestled up against the Tanzanian border, the Chyulu Hills lie in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro. The Chyulus are in the heart of Maasai country, where herdsmen lead their cattle to water alongside the elephants, and vast swathes of land are set aside for conservation. This lush, beautiful area is one of Kenya's little visited gems, and all the better for it. Try Ol Donyo Lodge for serious rustic luxury, or head out to discover the unfettered wilderness on horseback.

Laikipia Thumb

Laikipia Plateau

The Laikipia Plateau has rapidly become the destination of choice for Kenya’s discerning safari-goers. Much of the Laikipia area is made up of privately owned ranches on vast estates and is as much a wildlife experience as a chance to see life in the bush on a working cattle ranch. Free from the restrictions of the national parks and reserves, the options to explore are seemingly endless. As well as exciting game drives, you can walk, ride horses and visit nearby villages. Adventurers can trek for days accompanied only by Maasai guides and camels, and for a more luxurious, but truly African experience, sleep under the stars at Loisaba.

The Great Rift Valley and Lake Victoria Thumb

The Great Rift Valley and Lake Victoria

Formed around 20 million years ago, the Great Rift Valley with its green basins and vast lakes now provides a verdant playground for hippo and flamingo. High up on the plateau is beautiful Lake Victoria, with some of the most stunning sunsets we’ve ever seen. Further East, Lake Naivasha is surrounded by lush farmland, charming lodges like lovely Loldia House, and pods of hippo wallowing in the water. Finally, Lake Nakuru’s shores are tinted pink with flocks of flamingos, whilst the forests are one of the best places in Kenya to spot rhino.

Samburu and Shaba Thumb

Samburu and Shaba

Elephant fan? Then head to Samburu, as stunningly stark and arid reserve, famous for its great herds of elephant. Look out for them digging in sandy river beds for water, or moving almost silently through the trees and keep your eyes peeled for the unusual northern species such as the Grevy’s zebra. Samburu’s not just about nature though, it’s also home the Samburu people, who you’ll occasionally bump into, striding along in their bright red costumes and beaded jewellery. Follow the Ewaso Nyiro River even further west and you’ll find the true wilderness of Shaba – just as gorgeous as Samburu but rarely visited.

The Coast Thumb

The Kenyan Coast

Think icing-sugar sand, gently swaying palm trees, fishing villages and vibrant Swahili culture. Whether it’s a hideaway on the mainland or escaping it all on an island, Kenya has some wonderful coastal retreats, and fantastic diving just about everywhere. The delightfully crumbling seaside village of Lamu has long oozed barefoot glamour, where fishermen sail dhows as they have for centuries, and rock stars party as they have for decades. Further south, a string of properties are scattered down the coast: each laid-back, charming and terribly chic. Last but not least, we love the buzzy and gorgeous Diani Beach and the discreet retreats of Kinondo Kwetu and Funzi Keys.

Nairobi Thumb

Nairobi

For most, Kenya’s capital city is only seen in transit between airports. However, for those who have the time to tarry a while, the chaotic hustle and bustle of Nairobi has a certain charm. If you’ve never visited a third world city, then downtown Nairobi is a sight to behold, but for us, the real lure is out in Nairobi’s leafy suburbs. With half day to spare, a visit to the elephant orphanage is an absolute must, as is a cup of coffee in the grounds of Karen Blixen’s former home, and a visit to the legendary Giraffe Sanctuary at Giraffe Manor.
