Safari avec Joseph a Amboseli I went with my 16-year-old daughter for three days to Amboseli with Josef as our guide, departing from Nairobi in a 4x4. We were alone with him, and he drove and guided us throughout the entire safari. Everything was very well organized (transport, accommodation, visits, etc.). He was able to easily spot and find all the animals we wanted to see (lions, elephants, giraffes, etc.). The lodge he recommended was fantastic! Thank you to Josef, whom I highly recommend!

He helped us design a tailor-made itinerary and accompanied us through all the parks we had hoped to discover. Always enthusiastic and attentive, he made every moment special, guiding us to incredible sightings of the Big Five while adapting the experience to our preferences. We return home with truly lasting memories. If you’re planning a safari, we wholeheartedly recommend contacting him—his in-depth knowledge of wildlife, vegetation, and the country will help you create a unique and personalized adventure. Many thanks again, Josef, for this wonderful experience!

Thanks to our great guide/game driver Ouma.... Onze eerste dag safari start in Nairobi National Park waar wij bijna alle ‘big five’ hebben gespot. Wij hebben de Sheldrick Wildlife Trust bezocht waar ze baby wees olifantjes en neushoorns opvangen. Heel veel respect voor de toegewijde verzorgers van deze met uitsterven bedreigde dieren! Ons bezoek was al sinds een 2-tal maanden gereserveerd (is een must!). Je krijgt er de mogelijkheid om een wees olifantje te adopteren, wat wij dan ook gedaan hebben. Haar naam is Kipekee 😊Onze trip kon al niet meer mislukken… Maar wat we niet wisten was, dat het nog beter ging worden. Wij zijn vanuit Nairobi Wilson Airport vertrokken richting Maasai Mara. Onze gids/game driver Ouma stond ons op te wachten. Na een korte kennismaking zijn we vertrokken over de hobbelige wegen door de wilde natuur. Wat een belevenis! Wij logeerden in unieke tenten (Mara Crossing Lodge) en waanden ons echt in ‘Out of Africa). Onze 2 dagen in de Maasai Mara zijn voorbij gevlogen dank zij onze geweldige gids. Ouma heeft ons ontzettend veel bijgeleerd over het leven van de dieren in de wilde natuur. Na de 2de dag hebben we onze tocht verder gezet richting Lake Naivasha. Onze lodge (The Sopa) lag aan het Lake Naivasha waar wij een geweldige zonsondergang hebben gehad. Toen we na het diner naar onze lodge gingen, stonden giraffen en zebra’s ons op te wachten. Een machtig gevoel om deze mooie dieren van zo dichtbij te mogen passeren…. Vanuit Naivasha zijn we terug vertrokken richting Nairobi… Sinds jaren stond ‘on top of my bucketlist’ een bezoek aan de Giraffe Manor te Nairobi. A dream came true!!! Aan de rand van de grootstad staat een Engelse Manor omringd door een betoverende mooie groene tuin waarin de giraffen in al hun glorie rondwandelen. Een unieke belevenis toen de giraffen ons ’s morgens kwamen wakker maken door de vensters, na ons ontbijt mochten wij deze gracieuze dieren ook hun favoriete snoepjes geven. Wat hebben wij hiervan genoten!!! Een welgemeende ‘dank u’ aan onze lieve en attente gids/game driver Ouma! Wij kregen op al onze vragen een degelijk antwoord, hij was steeds heel beleefd en gedienstig, was niet opdringerig, …. Kortom, wij konden ons geen betere gids inbeelden! Hopelijk kruisen onze wegen nog eens….. Our first day of safari started in Nairobi National Park, where we spotted almost all of the ‘big five’. We visited the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, where they care for orphaned baby elephants and rhinos. We have so much respect for the dedicated carers of these endangered animals! We had booked our visit two months in advance (it’s a must!). You also have the opportunity to adopt an orphaned elephant, which we did. Her name is Kipekee 😊Our trip couldn't go wrong... But what we didn't know was that it was going to get even better. We left Nairobi Wilson Airport for Maasai Mara. Our guide/game driver Ouma (Eric) was waiting for us. After a brief introduction, we set off on the bumpy roads through the wild countryside. What an experience! We stayed in unique tents (Mara Crossing Lodge) and really felt like we were in ‘Out of Africa’. Our two days in the Maasai Mara flew by thanks to our wonderful guide. Ouma taught us so much about the life of animals in the wild. After the second day, we continued our journey to Lake Naivasha. Our lodge (The Sopa) was located on Lake Naivasha, where we enjoyed a magnificent sunset. When we returned to our lodge after dinner, giraffes and zebras were waiting for us. It was a powerful feeling to be able to pass these beautiful animals so closely. From Naivasha, we headed back to Nairobi... For years, a visit to the Giraffe Manor in Nairobi had been at the top of my bucket list. A dream came true!!! On the outskirts of the big city stands an English manor surrounded by an enchantingly beautiful green garden where giraffes roam in all their glory. It was a unique experience when the giraffes came to wake us up in the morning through the windows. After breakfast, we were also allowed to feed these graceful animals their favorite treats. We enjoyed it so much!!! A heartfelt ‘thank you’ to our lovely and attentive guide/game driver Ouma! He answered all our questions thoroughly, was always very polite and helpful, was not pushy, ... In short, we couldn't have imagined a better guide! Hopefully our paths will cross again...

We had an absolutely amazing Kenya safari experience thanks to our tour guide and driver(Eric).He is incredibly knowledgeable and has an impressive ability to predict animal behavior, which helped us witness so many unforgettable moments. His skill in spotting animals often before anyone else made our safari truly special. If you’re looking for a guide who combines experience, sharp instincts, and a warm personality, look no further. Eric turned our safari into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We are truly grateful and would highly recommend Eric to anyone visiting Kenya.

We took a 7-day safari in July 2025, starting from Nairobi with stops in Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, and Masai Mara. Eric, our exceptional guide, made the trip outstanding. We saw lion cubs, a lion hunt, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and hyenas. The guide is crucial to a good safari, and Eric was excellent.

Safari FAQ's

Not sure when to travel? Our safari specialists will design the perfect itinerary based on your travel dates, interests, and expectations.

Best Time to Go on Safari

East Africa offers extraordinary safari experiences throughout the year, each season revealing a unique mood, rhythm, and wildlife spectacle. The ideal time to travel depends on your interests, travel style, and the experiences you wish to prioritize.

Dry Season | June – October

Considered the prime safari season, the dry months offer outstanding wildlife viewing. As water sources become scarce, animals gather around rivers and watering holes, making sightings more frequent and rewarding. Clear skies, open landscapes, and comfortable travel conditions create the perfect setting for classic game drives.

This season also aligns with the iconic Great Wildebeest Migration across Kenya’s Masai Mara and northern Tanzania — one of the most awe-inspiring natural events on earth.

Ideal for: Big game viewing, migration safaris, photography, and optimal travel conditions.

Green Season | November – March

The green season breathes life into the savannah, transforming it into a lush and vibrant landscape. Dramatic skies, fresh vegetation, and abundant water attract prolific birdlife, while many animals give birth during this time, offering intimate and heartwarming wildlife encounters. With fewer visitors, safaris feel more exclusive and unhurried.

Ideal for: Scenic and wildlife photography, birdwatching, newborn wildlife sightings, and a quieter safari experience.

Long Rains | April – May

A peaceful and lesser-traveled season, the long rains bring refreshing showers and rich, emerald landscapes. While a few camps close temporarily, many remain open and offer excellent value without compromising quality. Wildlife is still present, and the atmosphere is serene and uncrowded.

Ideal for:
Travelers seeking privacy, value-driven luxury, dramatic landscapes, and a tranquil safari pace.

Best overall wildlife viewing: June – October
Best for migration: July – September
Best for photography & greenery: November – March
Best value & fewer crowds: April – May
Best birding: November – March

Yes. Seasonal changes influence animal movement and behavior. During the dry season, wildlife tends to concentrate around water sources, while the green season offers more dispersed wildlife along with newborn animals and vibrant scenery.

The Great Migration is a continuous, year-round movement. Specific highlights vary by season, with river crossings typically occurring between July and September and calving season taking place from January to February.

 

Safaris operate year-round. Rainfall is usually short and localized, and many destinations continue to offer excellent wildlife viewing alongside fewer crowds and greener landscapes.

 

Each season offers distinct photographic opportunities. The dry season is ideal for clear wildlife encounters, while the green season provides dramatic skies, rich colors, and softer natural light.

 

Yes. The green season and long rains attract fewer visitors, creating a more peaceful and exclusive safari experience while still offering rewarding game viewing.

Tipping while on safari in Kenya, Tanzania, and across East Africa is not mandatory, but it is a thoughtful way to show appreciation for the people who contribute to a safe, comfortable, and memorable journey. The guidelines below reflect widely accepted industry standards used by leading safari operators.

Safari Driver-Guides

Your safari guide plays a central role in your experience, from wildlife tracking and safety to sharing local knowledge and spending long hours with you in the field.

Suggested Tip:

  • USD 10–20 per person, per day
  • USD 20–40 per day for couples or families giving one combined tip

Lodge & Camp Staff

Most safari lodges and camps operate a shared staff tip box, ensuring fair distribution among housekeeping, dining staff, chefs, porters, gardeners, and security teams.

Suggested Tip:

  • USD 5–10 per person, per day

Porters

For assistance with luggage on arrival or departure:

Suggested Tip:

  • USD 1–2 per bag

City Transfers & Short Excursions

For airport transfers or short city movements:

Suggested Tip:

  • USD 5–10 per vehicle

Hot Air Balloon Safari Crew

Balloon safaris involve a large support team. Tipping is customary but always optional.

Suggested Tip:

  • USD 10–20 per person

When to Tip

  • Guides: At the end of your safari
  • Lodge staff: At check-out using the communal tip box
  • Porters & transfer drivers: Immediately after the service

How to Tip

  • Tips may be given in USD, EUR, GBP, or local currency (KES/TZS)
  • USD notes should be 2009 series or newer
  • Guide tips are best presented in an envelope
  • Lodge staff tips should be placed in the communal tip box

Families & Groups

Families or groups typically offer one combined tip to the safari guide. Lodge staff tipping remains per person, per day, using the shared tip box.

Why Tipping Matters

Safari operations are based in remote locations and involve long working hours. While staff receive regular salaries, tips provide direct recognition for exceptional service and personal care.

Special Experiences

For private guiding, photography-focused safaris, extended game drives, or special celebrations, an additional tip is

What to Avoid

  • Giving money or sweets to children.
  • Handing out tips publicly.
  • Feeling pressured to tip beyond your comfort level.

Quick Reference Guide

  • Safari guide: USD 10–20 per person/day
  • Lodge staff: USD 5–10 per person/day
  • Porters: USD 1–2 per bag
  • Transfer drivers: USD 5–10 per vehicle
  • Balloon crew: USD 10–20 per person

Important Note

These are general guidelines only. Tipping is entirely voluntary and should always reflect your level of satisfaction with the service received.

 

Why aren’t tips included in safari prices or salaries?

Safari services are highly personalized. Including tips in salaries or package prices would remove the guest’s ability to reward service based on individual experience and would increase safari costs due to taxation.

Are safari staff dependent on tips?

No. Safari staff receive regular salaries from their employers. Tips are an additional gesture of appreciation, not a substitute for wages.

Is tipping common across Africa?

Yes. Similar tipping practices are followed in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and South Africa.
