AS you begin to consider your Kenya Safari of a lifetime, you will want to make sure that you have created the perfect tour for your group. Why rely on a prepackaged tour when you have the option to design an authentic trip that meets your desires.
There are a number of key things that you need to consider as you start to design the ideal tour. We have compiled a list of questions that should help you in your planning.
You may be thinking that “wildlife game drives” is the obvious choice, but Kenya has more to offer than just big animals. Are you a bird lover? Perhaps you want to spend more time around the lakes of Kenya spotting the beautiful birds. Do you want to climb Mt Kenya? Perhaps you would love to volunteer some of your time at a local project. As you custom design you Kenya safari, make sure you know what you really want to accomplish.
Start by considering your past travel experiences! What elements of your previous journeys have you loved? What are the “non-negotiables” for your group?
Are you limited by your vacation time? As you customized your trip, you need to think through how much time you want to devote to Kenya. Most people spend from 1 week to 2 weeks exploring all that Kenya has to offer.
Some of our clients have said that Kenya is a little on the expensive side, but that is due to the game park entrance fees. As you develop your private tour, you will need to establish the ideal budget for your group. Are you looking for something in the 5 star luxury or do you prefer the more economical tour?
Most of the tourists who visit Kenya never experience the amazing game viewing of the conservancies. These dedicated plots of land are controlled with eco-friendly standard to maintain the environment and animals. Each conservancy has a few tented camps that offer authentic stays on your Kenya Safari.
Once you’ve tasted a private safari, it’s hard to go back. Let’s face it, being herded onto tour vehicle with people more that you wanted or expected, this compromises your personal preferences thus losing its appeal.
That’s why Lamara has focused on “custom designed trips” to Kenya. As we work together to create your travel experience, you’ll be in control of the itinerary, pace and budget of your tour. You’ll get something that was created with YOU in mind. That’s the first reason why “custom designed trips” are popular among our seasoned travelers.
