Welcome to Kenya Safari Lodges
Visiting Kenya Safari Lodges is possibly the most unique and special wildlife safari experience in the world.
Kenya is the world’s original safari destination – think “Out of Africa” of colonial times.
When you are looking for the best luxury safari lodges in Kenya, you might think that you have your job cut out for you.
However, East Africa and Kenya have many ultra-luxurious safari lodges and hotel options – from luxury safari lodges to adventurous camps in the wild.
Where else can you enjoy a truly phenomenal wildlife safari, relax on a tropical palm-fringed white sandy beach and experience timeless ethnic tribal cultures which have somehow managed to remain unchanged – the answer is always Kenya!
With Kenya Safari Lodges there is such a massive choice of national parks and private concessions safari areas in Kenya that the discerning guest can admire breathtaking scenery and dense game populations in peaceful surroundings.
Kenya is probably best known for its part of the annual Great Migration – one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa.
Sharing a border with Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park, the iconic Maasai Mara National Reserve is Kenya’s most famous safari destination – and it’s got the wildlife to back up its reputation.
Below you will find a handful of Kenya Safari Lodges pick of the best safari parks and concessions.
The Great Migration in Kenya:
One of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa.
Millions of wildebeest and zebra head for the lush plains of the Masai Mara in April each year.
The journey takes them across approximately 1900 miles and the most spectacular part of their journey is the river crossings where constant danger lurks in the form of lions and crocs.
You can witness this spectacle if you happen to visit the Mara between July and October of each year.
Masai Mara National Reserve Safari Lodges:
The Masai Mara National Reserve Safari Lodges are easily the most visited safari destination in Kenya.
The Masao Mara is located close to the Tanzanian border, in the north-western corner of Kenya.
The Big 5 roam the vast open golden plains which stretch as far as the eye can see.
The Masai is everyone’s safari dream, and this part of Kenya offers many safari lodges and camps, which will suit any budget.
Visitors can choose to stay in the reserve itself, or in one of the many neighbouring private conservancies if they would prefer a more intimate and exclusive safari experience.
Amboseli & Chyulu Hills Safari Lodges:
Amboseli & Chyulu Hills Safari Lodges is a popular area due to the fantastic views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
The Amboseli is also ideal to combine with a luxury safari in the Masai Mara.

The massive herds of elephants are a main draw card to this region.
Some of these elephants in the Amboseli sport the largest and most impressive tusks ever seen.
The Amboseli is ideal for your Kenya safari lodge experience.
Next to Amboseli are the Chyulu Hills, an oasis of green dominated by towering volcanoes and sparkling hot springs.

Not only does the Laikipia boast some of the highest wildlife densities in the country, but it’s also a beacon for ground-breaking conservation projects.
