Kenya tours & holidays

Travel guide

As the world leader in travel experiences since 1947, we connect you to the real Kenya in a way like no other. Kenya is quintessential Africa, from the ancient Maasai tribes, to the open savannahs home to great migrations and Africa’s Big Five. The landscapes are iconic, with lone acacia trees silhouetted against blazing red sunsets, and the Great Rift Valley cracking through the continent. Dripping jungles give way to palm-fringed beaches, and you can go from snowy mountains to vast deserts in a day. Our Kenya travel experiences are filled with pinch-me moments, from seeing the spectacular pink flamingos in Lake Nakuru, to watching hippos rolling in a watering hole near your lodge in the Maasai Mara. It’s one of the best countries in Africa to see wildlife, thanks to pioneering conservation initiatives, and we’ll also get to the heart of Kenya’s communities. Meet local farmers at a coffee plantation and sample their delicious brews, and visit a Maasai village where you’ll watch the traditional jumping dance of the Maasai warriors. Travel with us and unlock the infinite possibilities thanks to our exclusive Trafalgar Highlights.

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.

Binoculars

Bring your binoculars for wildlife spotting when we take you on a safari through some of Africa’s best wildlife destinations, including the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru.

Mosquito repellent

Be sure to pack a strong mosquito repellent with DEET, to protect you from mosquito bites and other insects when you visit Kenya.

Adaptor plug

In Kenya, the standard voltage is 240 V and the power plugs and sockets are of type G. The standard frequency is 50 Hz.

Biodegradable bags

Plastic bags are banned in Kenya, so you’ll need to use carry bags made with biodegradable materials such as cotton. Be sure to avoid using Ziploc bags when passing through the airport.

Versatile clothing

Pack a variety of long, light-coloured layers so you can easily go from chilly morning game drives, to scorching afternoon sunshine on your Kenya safari.

Other things to know before you go

Depending on your nationality, you'll need a valid passport and may also need visas to enter. Please check this on our Frequently Asked Questions page, well in advance of your trip departure date. Some countries also require passports to have 3-6 months left on them before the given expiry date, so be sure to double check this before booking your travels.
