What is a Kenya safari?

Direct answer

A Kenya safari is guided wildlife viewing across national parks and private conservancies — chiefly Masai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Samburu, and Tsavo — by 4×4 game drive, with optional walking safaris, hot-air balloon flights, and Maasai cultural visits. Kenya pioneered the modern safari; most itineraries run 5–10 days from Nairobi via road or bush flights from Wilson Airport, with park fees from USD 80–200 per day.

Overview

Uganda combines mountain gorilla trekking, classic savannah game viewing, chimpanzee tracking, birding, and cultural experiences in a compact circuit. The right answer depends on your dates, fitness, budget, and whether you travel with a licensed operator who handles permits, road logistics, and park regulations.
