Best Travel Agents for Safari in Kenya: Let us take care of you

Kenya is, without question, one of the most extraordinary destinations on Earth for an African safari. Few places combine such dramatic landscapes, abundant wildlife, and luxury lodges that offer a perfect balance of authenticity and comfort.

From the legendary Masai Mara, home to the Great Migration, to the untouched wilderness of Laikipia and the desert beauty of Samburu, every region has its own magic.

At The Resorts Collection, we specialize in organizing tailor-made luxury safaris that blend adventure, exclusivity, and five-star comfort. Whether you’re planning a honeymoon safari, a family adventure, or a bucket-list experience, we take care of every detail, from private flights to lodge bookings, VIP ground handling, and even post-safari beach extensions in Maldives, Seychelles, Mauritius, or Zanzibar.

Why it’s highly recommended to use a travel agent to plan a safari in Kenya

Planning a safari in Kenya might sound simple at first: you just pick a lodge, book some game drives, and fly in, right? In reality, it’s far more complex. A Kenya safari involves multiple destinations, often several lodges in completely different regions, each requiring separate transfers, park fees, and logistics.

Coordinating everything yourself means managing domestic flights, 4x4 transfers, park entry permits, conservancy fees, and lodge availabilities, all of which constantly change depending on the season and animal movements.

Even choosing where to go can be overwhelming: the Masai Mara, Laikipia, Samburu, Amboseli, and more, each with their own style, wildlife, and pricing structures.

A small mistake in timing or routing can mean losing a day of your trip or missing a connecting flight. That’s why almost everyone who books a safari in Kenya does so through an experienced travel agent.

A specialist like The Resorts Collection ensures every detail is handled: seamless transfers between lodges, accurate park fee inclusion, optimized routes, and access to the best lodges at preferential rates. With us, your entire journey is curated perfectly so you can simply enjoy the magic of Africa without the stress of planning.

Where to go on safari in Kenya?

Kenya offers a variety of safari landscapes, each with its own unique character.

Masai Mara

The Masai Mara is Kenya’s crown jewel and the most famous safari destination in the world. Known for the Great Migration, it’s home to lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, and wildebeests in numbers that seem endless. For those seeking exclusivity, we recommend staying in private conservancies adjacent to the main reserve with far fewer vehicles and a much more intimate experience.

Laikipia

Located north of Mount Kenya, Laikipia is one of our favorite regions. It’s home to Solio Lodge, a beautiful property where rhino sightings are 100% guaranteed (we saw up to 15 rhinos at the same time). Laikipia offers vast open plains, incredible privacy, and a more exclusive feel than the Mara.

Samburu

For something completely different, head to Samburu, where the landscape turns arid and the wildlife changes. You’ll find species you won’t see elsewhere, like Grevy’s zebra and reticulated giraffe. Sasaab Luxury Tented Camp is our top pick here, combining Moroccan-inspired design with unforgettable game drives and cultural encounters.

Amboseli

Amboseli National Park offers one of Africa’s most iconic views: elephants walking in front of Mount Kilimanjaro. The park is easily accessible and offers excellent photo opportunities.

Lewa Conservancy

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lewa is known for its strong conservation efforts and limited visitor numbers. It’s a fantastic alternative to the Mara for travelers who prefer peace and quiet.

Tsavo & Meru

For travelers seeking remote and authentic safaris, Tsavo and Meru deliver rugged landscapes and a sense of true wilderness, ideal for a second or third safari in Kenya.

We always prefer sending our guests to private conservancies and less-crowded parks, where the experience feels intimate and exclusive. After all, a luxury safari in Kenya should never feel touristy.

The Best Luxury Lodges and Camps in Kenya

Kenya’s lodge scene is exceptional. Here are some of our favorite places to stay:

Cottar’s 1920 Safari Camp

An award-winning camp combining vintage elegance and incredible guiding. It’s family-run and located in a private conservancy bordering the Masai Mara.

Angama Mara

Perched high above the Mara plains, Angama is one of Africa’s most stunning lodges, known for its modern design, impeccable service, and cinematic views.

Sasaab Luxury Tented Camp

Located in Samburu, Sasaab blends Moroccan-inspired interiors with raw wilderness. Private plunge pools, desert sunsets, and camel rides along the river make it unforgettable.

Sala’s Camp

A small, romantic tented camp in the southern Masai Mara ideal for honeymooners. It offers front-row seats to the Great Migration with exceptional food and service.

Solio Lodge

In the Laikipia region, Solio Lodge offers close encounters with rhinos, open plains, and elegant modern interiors. It’s intimate, luxurious, and peaceful.

Wilderness Mara

A new and ultra-private addition to Kenya’s luxury safari scene, known for high-end design and exceptional service.

Mara Bushtops

Located in a private conservancy, Mara Bushtops combines five-star luxury with a wild setting. The spa and service are among the best in Africa.

Giraffe Manor

The iconic property where giraffes join you for breakfast. Located in Nairobi, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience and the perfect start or end to a safari. We always recommend it to our clients to finish their itinerary.

How much does a luxury safari in Kenya cost?

Safaris are expensive, we don’t teach you anything there. Most luxury lodges are super small and therefore, extremely exclusive. The smaller the lodges, the higher the prices. And it makes sense. As a general guideline, here’s how much a safari in Kenya will cost you (estimates only):

USD 1,000–1,500 per person per night for ultra-luxury properties

USD 700–1,000 per person per night for high-end lodges

Charter flights between parks, conservation fees, and some activities may be extra.

Prices vary depending on the season, lodge, and itinerary. Our packages are always transparent and all-inclusive. You will always know exactly what you are paying for so that you don’t face any last minute surprise.

Combine Kenya with the Maldives, Seychelles, Mauritius, or Zanzibar

While we love safaris, we are also luxury honeymoon travel agents for other high-end and super exclusive destinations.

Many of our clients choose to end their safari with a few days of relaxation by the ocean. Thanks to our deep expertise in Maldives, Seychelles, and Mauritius, we can seamlessly combine both experiences: the thrill of the wild followed by the calm of the beach.

We also recommend Zanzibar for those seeking a short and relaxing end of stay near Kenya.

While we are the best travel agents for safari in Kenya, we also assist with luxury travel anywhere in the world, ensuring consistent quality and attention to detail.
