“Unforgettable Kenya: City Lights, Safari Sights & Beach Day”
This Kenya adventure was my second trip to Africa with Goway, and once again, my go-to Africa specialist, Alexandra Hale, worked her magic. She helped create a thoughtfully planned itinerary that included all the must-see highlights of Kenya, with the perfect blend of luxury and adventure.
Our custom journey took us from Nairobi to the Maasai Mara, on to Amboseli National Park at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, and finally to the beautiful Kenyan coast along the Indian Ocean. Along the way, we stayed at outstanding accommodations, including the Tamarind Tree Hotel in Nairobi, the Mara Serena Safari Lodge, Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge, and the Baobab Beach Resort & Spa in Diani.
Every destination offered incredible experiences, but if I could change one thing, I would have added an extra day at the beach to enjoy the coast a little longer.
The in-destination support provided by the Sense of Africa team was exceptional. Their knowledgeable guides enhanced our experience at every stop and ensured everything ran smoothly throughout the trip.
One of my most memorable experiences was the hot-air-balloon safari over the Maasai Mara. Seeing wildlife from above at sunrise was truly breathtaking. The experience was made even more special with a freshly prepared champagne breakfast in the bush after landing.
This was another unforgettable African adventure, and I’m already looking forward to returning to the continent. When it’s time to plan my next trip, Goway will be my first call.
ABanks“Lisa's Gateway to Ghana 2026”
I want to thank Taha for his outstanding knowledge on Ghana. It was so good to work with him on the planning and the process to Ghana. Everything was amazing, from the hotels, tour guide Leslie, restaurants, and the food. I would definitely recommend Taha to anyone wanting to travel with a group.
Best,
Lisa V Henderson
Lisa Henderson“Bijal and Martin (tour guide in Kenya)…”
Bijal and Martin (tour guide in Kenya) made this the trip of a lifetime. I felt safe every minute of the trip. I did not care for the travel from the Serengeti to Ngorogoro Crater. I felt the last hotel was too far from the crater i was exhausted not wanted to travel to the crater. The travel was absolutely brutal for 6 hours
Kathie Becker“Our safari in Tanzania was excellent”
Our safari in Tanzania was excellent. Brooke Theron, our Goway representative, was easy to work with, responsive and knowledgeable. Our guide in Tanzania, Anwar Razak, was outstanding. His knowledge and his driving ability was impressive. He was also engaging. We enjoyed our time with Anwar. The camps that Goway recommended were comfortable, welcoming and surprisingly luxurious while capturing the essence of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We had a wonderful trip.
Jack B.“This was the first time we used Goway…”
This was the first time we used Goway Travel and Brooke Theron was absolutely the best to deal with. Our safari in Africa was fabulous and we were able to have all four questions answered before we left. It was a trip to remember and we would recommend both Brooke and Goway to other who are looking for a great experience. Thanks Brooke and Goway.
Joyce Robinson“Stress Free Honeymoon”
Our goal for this trip was a stress free honeymoon where we did not have to think about anything! Goway made that successful. Everything was planned and ready for us. We just had to show up. Brooke recommended fantastic accommodations that were in great locations, clean and comfortable. The tours were took with Thompson's Africa were incredible as well. Brooke was helpful throughout the entire booking process & we wouldn't have had such an incredible experience without her. We really loved our South African holiday and hope to travel there or other locations again with Goway.
Taylor“Great vacation in Botswana and Zimbabwe”
We booked a Goway tour to Botswana and Zimbabwe and it was excellent. We worked with Brooke, the Goway represntative, to set up the tour and she was an outstanding agent who answered any questions we had very quickly and completely. Her hotel recommendation for the additional night we stayed was pefect.
Goway hires a local tour group, Jenman Safaris, to lead the safari in the 2 countries. The tour itself was amazing...the lodges that we stayed at were very nice and the food was great (except for one lodge's food). The Goway itinerary was slightly different than the actual Jenman Safari itinerary but most of the sites that we went to were the same as listed on the Goway itinerary. I would use Goway again because their choice of a local tour group was very good...nice lodges/camps and good food and knowledgeable tour guides.
Ma Fa“Very Specific African Honeymoon itinerary”
Matthew handled my honeymoon couple's very specific African itinerary like a pro! My clients went to four different travel agents who only wanted to send them on safaris. My clients had already done safaris and were specific on what they wanted to do and see. Matthew hit the nail on the head! Highly recommend!
Amanda Schott“Absolutely incredible trip”
Absolutely incredible trip! From beginning to end! All accommodations were excellent. If you want to experience Safaris this trip will fulfill all your expectations! A special thanks to our driver we had for our entire trip Evans! He made our trip over the top! The Hot air balloon ride in the Masai Mara is a must…it’s breathtaking!
Pam Seitz“Tanzania safari…”
Just got back from a fabulous safari holiday in Tanzania. The trip was amazing! Exceeded my expectations. The people, the local team at Sense of Africa, the food, the accommodations (Karibu camps: Elephant Springs+Lion’s Paw and Sametu), the safari from the sky (hot air balloon)… I can keep going. Perfect way to celebrate my 50th bday.
Thanks again to Alice Teramoto and Goway for making this happen! Truly a trip of a lifetime

Best Time To Visit
Kenya is a year-round destination, but each season brings something unique. The dry season from June to October is prime time for safaris and the famous Great Migration in the Masai Mara. It’s also when wildlife gathers around watering holes, making sightings frequent and spectacular.
From December to March, expect fewer crowds and warm coastal breezes—perfect for combining safari with a beach retreat. These months are also ideal for spotting newborn animals across the national parks. The green seasons of April, May and November bring lush landscapes, rich birdlife, and quieter reserves, ideal for those looking to explore at a slower pace.
“Consistent weather and amazing wildlife viewing make July through September perfect—but Kenya shines all year long.” - Bijal Kana, Kenya Specialist

What do the experts say?
Goway guests can enjoy unforgettable moments like bush breakfasts, night game drives, and personalized safaris in luxury tented camps
The Samburu Reserve is one of the most colourful game-viewing areas in the country, home to species found nowhere else—like the reticulated giraffe and Grevy’s zebra
In peak months like August, the migration draws huge crowds to the river crossings. But conservancies around the Mara limit vehicle numbers, so you still get intimate wildlife moments
Kenya offers the best wildlife viewing with the world-renowned Masai Mara, plus unique species only found in places like Samburu.
I wouldn’t recommend self-driving as Kenya’s roads can be tricky, and they drive on the left side, which can confuse visitors used to North American systems

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Kenya a good place to vacation?
How many days is enough in Kenya?
At least eight to 12 days is ideal. This allows time for a proper safari circuit (like Samburu, Ol Pejeta, and Masai Mara), plus some downtime on the coast or in Nairobi. For island add-ons or deeper cultural exploration, plan for 14 or more days.
How safe is Kenya for solo female travellers?
Kenya is welcoming and safe when you travel smart. Stick to guided tours or vetted drivers, dress modestly in rural areas, and avoid walking alone at night in cities. Goway provides secure, trusted ground arrangements from start to finish.
What can I not bring to Kenya?
Plastic bags are banned, and drones require special permits. It’s also advised to avoid bright-coloured clothing on safari. Stick to earth tones to blend into the environment and respect the wildlife experience.
Do I need a visa to visit Kenya?
Since 2024, most foreign nationals have had to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to visit Kenya (citizens of certain African and Caribbean nations are exempt). You must apply and obtain your eTA online through the official eVisa Kenya portal at least 72 hours before your travel date
What vaccinations are needed for Kenya?
Standard travel vaccines are advised for travel to Kenya, including those for hepatitis A, typhoid, polio, and tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis. A yellow fever vaccine is required for entry if you are traveling from an area with yellow fever risk. Other recommended vaccines include hepatitis b, meningitis, and rabies, especially for longer stays or activities that increase exposure.
