About the Tour

Embark on a 5N/6D journey through Kenya, where untamed wilderness and refined safari experiences blend seamlessly. Discover Nairobi, explore the serene beauty of Lake Naivasha, and venture into the iconic Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru. From gliding across freshwater lakes to thrilling game drives across golden savannahs, every moment is defined by wide-open horizons, dramatic landscapes, and extraordinary wildlife encounters. A perfect balance of nature, culture, and classic African safari, Kenya offers an experience that feels immersive, powerful, and unforgettable. Curated with care, delivered with heart – the Transforming Travels way.
Did we tell you that enjoy this luxury Kenya Safari while staying in 4-star experiential lodges in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha, instead of typical hotels?

What if your next journey was not just a vacation, but a story you would tell for the rest of your life?

Just imagine arriving in Kenya, where the air feels different – warmer, richer, alive with possibility. From the moment you land in Nairobi, Africa unfolds before you in layers of culture, history, and breathtaking landscapes. This Kenya Safari is a thoughtfully curated experience that blends refined comfort with raw, untamed beauty, designed for travelers who seek something truly extraordinary.

Did you know Kenya is considered the heart of the original African safari, a land that inspired explorers, writers, and filmmakers for over a century? The Great Rift Valley, visible from space, cuts dramatically through this country, shaping lakes, plains, and wildlife corridors that still thrive today.

Your journey flows effortlessly from the city to Lake Naivasha, a freshwater gem surrounded by acacia trees and volcanic landscapes. Just imagine gliding across the lake as hippos rise gently from the water and African fish eagles call overhead. What if you could step off the boat and walk among giraffes, zebras, and antelope with no fences, no crowds, only nature moving at its own pace? Crescent Island offers exactly that, an experience both intimate and unforgettable.

Then comes the crown jewel of Kenya, the legendary Maasai Mara National Reserve. Vast, golden, and endlessly cinematic, this is where nature performs its greatest drama. Just imagine yourselves watching a lion pride at dawn, the grass still heavy with morning dew, or spotting elephants crossing the plains as the sun dips below the horizon. Did you know the Maasai Mara is home to one of the highest densities of wildlife on Earth?

The thrill of travel itself elevates every moment in the Mara. What if the journey between sightings becomes part of the adventure? Your private 4×4 Safari Land Cruiser, designed specifically for African terrain, moves confidently across rugged tracks and open plains.

With a pop-up roof for panoramic views, cushioned seating, and expert driver-guides at the wheel, each drive delivers a perfect balance of adrenaline and comfort. The hum of the engine, the wind brushing past, and wildlife appearing without warning create a sense of freedom that only a true safari can offer.

A visit to a traditional Maasai village adds depth and meaning to your safari. What if travel could connect you not just to places, but to people? Through songs, dances, and centuries-old traditions, the Maasai share a way of life rooted in harmony with the land.

Your safari continues to Lake Nakuru National Park, a place of dramatic viewpoints, shimmering waters, and powerful conservation stories. Did you know this park plays a vital role in protecting endangered black and white rhinos? Sightings here are not only thrilling, but they are also deeply moving.

Throughout the journey, cuisine elevates every day. Fresh ingredients, beautifully prepared meals, and flavors inspired by both local Kenyan traditions and international comfort are served in elegant lodges. Just imagine dining under African skies, lanterns glowing softly, as distant wildlife calls echo through the night.

This is not a rushed itinerary. This is a premium safari designed with space to breathe, to absorb, and to feel. Private vehicles, expert guides, handpicked lodges, and seamless logistics ensure comfort, exclusivity, and authenticity throughout.

So what if you stopped dreaming and started packing?

With Transforming Travels, this Kenya Safari is not just a trip.
It is an awakening.

A journey that stays with you long after you return home, quietly calling you back to Africa, again and again.

Kenya eTA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) Fee

Indian passport holders travelling to Kenya for tourism purposes are required to obtain a Kenya Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before departure. Kenya has replaced traditional visas with an online ETA system, and the ETA must be approved before boarding the flight. The application is completed online and typically requires a valid passport (with at least 6 months validity), flight details, and confirmed hotel or safari bookings. ETA processing usually takes 1-3 working days; however, travellers are strongly advised to apply well in advance. The approved ETA will be checked by the airline at departure and by immigration authorities upon arrival in Kenya. Currently, the cost is approximately 30 USD. Please note that this cost isn’t a part of your package, but if required, we can file your Kenya ETA.
