A Kenya safari package from the UAE typically bundles return flights from Dubai or Abu Dhabi (around 4.5 to 5 hours direct), safari lodges or tented camps in reserves such as Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru or Amboseli, private 4x4 game drives with a guide, full board meals and travel insurance — from AED 3,999 per person for a short Masai Mara safari, up to AED 9,999 for a Grand Kenya safari combining Nairobi, Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Highlights include Big Five game drives in the Masai Mara, the Great Wildebeest Migration (July to October), flamingo-lined Lake Nakuru, elephant herds against Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, and Maasai village cultural visits. Most UAE residents need a Kenya eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) approved online before travelling.
One country, four very different journeys — from a short Masai Mara safari, to the classic Kenya Signature safari combining the Mara and Lake Nakuru, a romantic honeymoon safari with a bush dinner, or a Grand Kenya tour that adds Amboseli and Nairobi. Every package includes flights, lodges, transfers and guided game drives, or we'll build a custom itinerary.

Here's how your 4-night Kenya safari flows. Flights, lodge stays in Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara, full board meals, private 4x4 game drives and travel insurance are included throughout.
Land at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, where your safari guide meets you for the scenic drive through the Great Rift Valley to Lake Nakuru National Park. Check into your lodge in time for an afternoon game drive among rhinos, buffalo and giraffe. Overnight in Lake Nakuru.
Enjoy an early morning game drive along the shores of Lake Nakuru, famous for its pink-fringed flocks of flamingos, before driving south to the world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve. Settle into your camp in time for an evening game drive. Overnight in Masai Mara.
Spend the whole day exploring the Mara's open plains in search of lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino, with a picnic lunch out in the bush. Between July and October, this is prime time to watch the Great Wildebeest Migration cross the Mara River. Overnight in Masai Mara.
Visit an authentic Maasai village to learn about local traditions, beadwork and the community's relationship with the wildlife around them. In the evening, enjoy a sundowner bush dinner as the sun sets over the savannah. Overnight in Masai Mara.
Take one last sunrise game drive before breakfast, then transfer by road or light aircraft back to Nairobi for your international departure flight, with all luggage handling and transfers arranged.
Kenya offers great game viewing year-round, but July to October brings the dry season and the spectacular Great Wildebeest Migration through the Masai Mara.
| Season | Months | Weather | Why go |
|---|---|---|---|
| Great Migration & Peak Dry Season | Jul – Oct | Dry, 20–27°C | Best for the Mara River crossings & Big Five |
| Short Dry Season | Jan – Feb | Warm & dry, 22–28°C | Great game viewing, fewer crowds |
| Short Rains | Nov – Dec | Warm, brief afternoon showers | Lush scenery, lower rates |
| Long Rains | Mar – May | Warm, frequent rain | Low season, newborn wildlife season |
The dry season and the Great Wildebeest Migration make this the prime window for dramatic Mara River crossings and dense game concentrations.
A second dry spell with excellent visibility for game drives and fewer crowds than the July–October peak.
The long rains bring lower lodge rates and lush green landscapes, ideal for birdwatching and newborn wildlife, though some roads can be muddy.
