Stuart is an award-winning travel journalist covering safari, trekking and conservation in Kenya and Tanzania for the Lonely Planet, Rough Guides, BBC, Bradt Travel Guides, amongst many others. He is the author of Walking With The Maasai, a journey through some of Kenya's lesser-visited Maasai lands.
If you prefer to stay within Amboseli National Park, I'd recommend Ol Tukai Lodge which is fairly luxurious but at around USD $300 per person per night it's decent value – you can also see Mt Kilimanjaro from the bar! It's a good choice for families and they offer a range of packages including transfers from Nairobi.

Safari in Kenya

My single most important tip for Kenya safari first-timers is to avoid the mistake of non-stop game drives. Standard tour operator itineraries shuttle you from park to park with a gruelling schedule of game drives.

Safari in Amboseli National Park

Amboseli National Park is the postcard park of most Kenya safari itineraries.

Kenya besides safari

The most popular add-on to a safari is to throw in a bit of sun and sand time on Kenya’s delicious Indian Ocean coastline. Direct flights link most of the main national parks and reserves with Diani and Malindi beaches.
