There are two rain seasons, the long rains occur from April to June and short rains from October to December. The rainfall is sometimes heavy and when it does come it often falls in the afternoons and evenings. The hottest period is from February to March and coldest in July to August.

Kenya SAFARIS

Kenya is the birthplace of Abercrombie & Kent and famed for its wide-open spaces, savannahs, an astounding array of wildlife, crater lakes, snow-capped mountains and golden beaches. It is ideal safari country and holidays in Kenya are always unique and always unforgettable.

A Kenya safari holiday with Abercrombie & Kent is like no other.  Every experience is personal and built on a wealth of knowledge and expertise, whilst privileged access to exclusive accommodation (from exquisite lodges to secluded tented camps), locations and experiences mixes with an authentic flavour of the real Kenya. 

A&K safari holidays in Kenya are as rich and varied as the country itself.

Amboseli, a relatively small park in the south of the country, is famed for herds of elephants and stunning views of Kilimanjaro. To the east, Tsavo is the largest National Park in the country, a place to really discover the secrets of the bush. To the north, in the arid lowlands beyond Mount Kenya, is the Samburu National Reserve.

Meanwhile, stretching through the centre of the country, the Rift Valley is the greatest geological fault in the world. For birds, wildlife and visitors to Kenya it is the deep blue waters of the crater lakes that prove irresistible magnets. To the west the Masai Mara is the northern tip of the great Serengeti ecosystem, a wedge of short-grassed plains and a haven for game of all kinds.  The 'Big Five', the high point of many a Kenya safari holiday, are resident in higher concentrations here than perhaps anywhere else. 

Such a wealth of scenic contrasts is complemented by the palm fringed Indian Ocean coastline.

At A&K all of our journeys are individually tailored to suit your needs and timescale. However, as a guide, a 9 day journey in Kenya will cost from £4,620 per person based on two adults sharing with flights from the UK and subject to availability.

Due to the change in the Dollar exchange rate, the prices showing within the brochure pages are now out of date. Please check the website, or contact us on the number below for the current prices.
