Short trips & Nairobi day excursions.

Sometimes a long weekend is all you have, and sometimes that is all you need. Our Kenya short-trip catalog covers half-day Nairobi excursions, full-day cultural and wildlife outings, and overnight quick-fix safaris to Amboseli, the Mara and Lake Naivasha. These itineraries are perfect for travelers on a Nairobi layover, business-trip extensions, expats based in East Africa, and first-time visitors who want a real taste of the Kenyan bush without committing to a full week. The Nairobi National Park half-day safari delivers lions and rhinos against a city skyline in just four hours; the Hell's Gate and Lake Naivasha day trip combines cycling among zebras with a hippo boat ride; the 2-day Amboseli safari brings Kilimanjaro and elephant herds in 36 hours; and the 2-day Maasai Mara fly-in skips the road transfer entirely with charter flights from Wilson Airport. Every short trip is led by a KPSGA-certified guide and uses the same private 4x4 vehicles as our longer itineraries.
