What to carry

What is the "Tembea Kenya" Safari experience?

“Tembea Kenya” (Swahili for Explore Kenya) is a curated 7-day private expedition that takes you from the white sands of Watamu through the most iconic landscapes in East Africa. This route is designed to minimize backtracking, covering Tsavo East, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, and the Maasai Mara in one seamless journey

This specific 7-day itinerary is a Private Safari. This means you will have your own dedicated professional driver-guide and a private safari vehicle. It allows for a more personalized pace, flexible game-watching stops, and an intimate experience for families, couples, or small groups of friends.

Standard packages generally include:

  • Pick-up and drop-off at your hotel in Watamu or Malindi.

  • Transport in a 4×4 Land Cruiser or Safari Van with a pop-up roof.

     

  • All park entrance fees and government taxes.

     

  • Full-board accommodation (breakfast, lunch, and dinner).

     

  • Bottled water during game drives.

  • Professional English-speaking driver-guide.

  • International and domestic flights (unless pre-arranged).

  • Tips and gratuities for your guide and lodge staff.

  • Optional activities (e.g., Hot Air Balloon rides in the Mara, Maasai Village visits, or Hell’s Gate cycling).

     

  • Personal travel insurance and laundry services.

  • Alcoholic drinks and sodas.

Yes. Because this is a private safari, we can tailor the trip to your preferences. You can choose to upgrade to luxury lodges, extend your stay in the Maasai Mara, or even add a flight back to the coast on Day 7 to save driving time.

  • June to October: The dry season. This is the best time for wildlife viewing as animals congregate around water sources. It also coincides with the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara (typically July–September).

  • January to March: Great weather and excellent for birdwatching and seeing newborn animals.

  • April to May: The “long rains.” Some lodges offer lower rates, and the landscape is lush and green, though some roads can be muddy.

  • Clothing: Neutral-colored clothing (khaki, tan, olive) is best. Evenings can be chilly in Amboseli and the Mara, so bring a light jacket or fleece.

  • Sun Protection: Hat, high-SPF sunscreen, and sunglasses.

  • Gear: Binoculars (highly recommended), a camera with a good zoom lens, and a power bank.

  • Medicine: Anti-malaria medication (consult your doctor), insect repellent, and a basic first-aid kit.

Your safety is our priority. Our driver-guides are highly trained in wildlife behavior and off-road driving. All vehicles are equipped with long-range high-frequency radios for communication. When staying in lodges or tented camps, Maasai guards or hotel security often escort guests to their rooms at night.
