Ideal for the time-strapped traveler — enjoy Kenya's finest wildlife spots, game drives, outdoor meals, and comfortable accommodation in just 2 days.
Our 2-day Kenya safaris and tours are ideal for the time-strapped traveler and are popular among our guests. During these 2 days, you can enjoy some of Kenya’s finest wildlife spots, game drives, outdoor meals, and comfortable accommodation all at an affordable price.
On the first day of the safari experience, you will see all sorts of interesting things along the way. In Kenya’s national parks and reserves, you can expect to see a wide variety of wildlife, including the “Big Five” (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo), as well as numerous other mammals, birds, and reptiles. Specific examples include giraffes, cheetahs, zebras, hippos, Nile crocodiles, and various bird species.
The 2-day safari trips in Kenya generally start early in the morning, with guests embarking on the journey well before sunrise. Just as dawn breaks, you will be comfortably seated in the back of a safari vehicle, exploring the park. Be sure to have your camera at the ready. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times of the day to spot animals.
The last day of the 2-day safari is spent enjoying a game drive before being transferred back to your original start point, city, or town. This could include Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Nanyuki, Malindi, and Watamu, among others. You can choose from budget accommodation options to comfortable lodges and luxury camps.
