From a half-day dash into Nairobi National Park to a six-day honeymoon safari that ends with a train ride to the coast, here’s our curated shortlist of tours, the way we’d want to see them laid out ourselves.
We get asked the same question a lot: “Which safari should I actually book?” So we, at African Memorable Safaris, pulled together the tours our guests come back raving about quick city and park excursions for short stays, flying safaris for people short on time, and slower multi-day honeymoon routes for couples who want the Big Five and a bit of romance. Just scroll every listing link straight through to the full itinerary, inclusions and pricing.
Nairobi Day Trip – Nairobi National Park
A wildlife park just 10km from the capital is genuinely handy if you’ve got a layover or one free morning. Game drives turn up lion, buffalo, rhino and leopard (no elephants here), plus a walk to the hippo pools and a stop at the Ivory Burning Monument.
From $110 pp low season
Mombasa Half Day City Tour
A guided wander through Old Town’s Swahili streets, the 16th-century Fort Jesus, the bustling spice and produce market, and the famous Elephant Tusks landmark on Moi Avenue wrapped up in time for lunch back at your hotel.
From $55 pp low season
Tamarind Dhow Trip
Dinner aboard a traditional dhow, drifting through Mombasa’s Old Harbour creeks as the sun goes down. Expect a generous seafood spread, live music and dancing under the stars, a nice one to slot into a beach-heavy itinerary.
From $100 pp low season
One Day Safari, Shimba Hills Game Reserve
A coastal rainforest reserve just off Diani, home to the endangered sable antelope, elephants, and over 100 bird species. Includes a game drive plus a half-hour guided walk down to Sheldrick Falls wearing proper shoes.
From $100 pp low season
2-Day Masai Mara Air Safari from Nairobi
The fastest way into the Mara: a 45-minute scenic flight from Wilson Airport over the Rift Valley, then two shared game drives chasing the Big Five before flying back to Nairobi the next morning. Ideal if you’re tight on days.
From $1,040 pp low season
2-Day Mombasa – Masai Mara Flying Safari
Fly straight from the coast (Mombasa, Diani, Watamu or Malindi) into the Mara for one packed night of game drives. Catch the wildebeest migration if you’re travelling between July and October, plus Kilimanjaro views from the air.
From $1,000 pp low season
3 Days Tsavo East & Saltlick Honeymoon Safari
A road safari from the coast into Tsavo East, followed by a night at Saltlick Lodge’s treehouse-style rooms overlooking a floodlit waterhole. Includes a night game drive at Taita Hills and a sundowner toast to start married life right.
From $430 pp low season
3 Day Masai Mara Honeymoon Air Safari
Two full nights in the Mara without burning three days on the road fly in from the coast, settle into a romantic lodge, and spend your time chasing the Great Migration instead of tarmac. Candlelit dinners under the stars included.
From $1,000 pp low season
3-Day Mombasa Safari to Tsavo East & Saltlick
The family-friendly version of the honeymoon route above: two parks, one lodge stay built around a wildlife-viewing waterhole, and a manageable pace that works well for photographers and first-time safari-goers alike.
From $670 pp low season
4 Days Lake Naivasha & Masai Mara Honeymoon Safari
A gentler opening act is a boat ride and walking safari among giraffes and zebras on Crescent Island before two nights of proper game driving in the Mara, plus an optional visit to a local Masai village.
From $1,750 pp low season
6 Days Honeymoon Safari from the Coast
Tsavo East, Amboseli (with Kilimanjaro looming over every game drive) and Tsavo West, finishing with a walking safari at Mzima Springs and a proper sundowner send-off. The longest, most complete honeymoon route on this list.
From $1,150 pp low season
6 Days Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha & Amboseli to Mombasa by Train
Three of Kenya’s best-known parks by road, then the twist: you board the SGR Standard Gauge Railway at Emali and ride the rails straight down to the coast instead of driving. A genuinely different way to end a safari.
From $1,150 pp low season
