Journey overview

Play Nairobi’s classic highland courses with city-base hotels — a short pure golf break.

Best shaped around Mara conservancies in July–October, or calving-season light in January–March. Coast endings work most of the year.

This is a starting point. We refine lodges, flying days and pacing around who is travelling, the season and how you like to spend a safari afternoon.

How to get there

Most journeys begin in Nairobi. Road transfers to the Maasai Mara take around five to six hours; scheduled flights reach many parks in under an hour. We choose road or air based on your time, comfort and the rhythm of the route.

Climate

Kenya has a cooler season from June to November with daytime averages around 20°C. Nights can feel crisp on the plateau. Mid-October to November brings short rains; December to April is warmer, often reaching 30°C by day. Long rains typically fall in April and May, often as afternoon showers after sunny mornings.

Best time to visit

We often shape Kenya journeys around mid-July to mid-October for migration viewing in the Mara, or June to October and December to March for strong general game viewing across multiple parks.
