Why Planning Matters for a Private Kenya Safari

A private Kenya safari isn’t just a holiday — it’s a personalized wildlife journey designed entirely around you.

Unlike group tours, private safaris demand:

• Better planning
• Smarter park selection
• Proper pacing
• Local expertise

At Annest Kenya Safaris, we plan private safaris daily — from short escapes to 14-day luxury journeys across Kenya and East Africa.

Here’s how to plan yours the right way.

Decide What Kind of Safari Experience You Want

Every great safari begins with clarity.

Ask yourself:

• Big Five focus or scenic landscapes?
• Photography or relaxed game drives?
• Luxury or affordable private safari?
• Short trip or long safari adventure?

Private Kenya safaris allow full customization, but defining priorities ensures the best results.

Choose the Right Parks (Quality Over Quantity)

More parks better safari.

Our expert approach focuses on balanced routing:

Best Parks by Interest:

• Masai Mara National Reserve – Big cats & Great Migration
• Amboseli National Park – Elephants & Kilimanjaro views
• Lake Nakuru National Park – Rhinos & birdlife
• Ol Pejeta Conservancy – Conservation & rare species
• Samburu National Reserve – Unique northern wildlife

A private safari allows you to stay longer where sightings are best, rather than rushing.

Your vehicle defines your safari experience.

At Annest Kenya Safaris, all private safaris include:

• Private 4×4 Land Cruiser Jeep
• Pop-up roof

Decide Between Luxury or Affordable Private Safaris

Private doesn’t always mean ultra-luxury.

Options We Offer:

• Luxury Kenya safaris – High-end lodges & camps
• Mid-range private safaris – Comfort & value
• Affordable private safaris – Budget-smart, no crowds

All options maintain:

• Private vehicle
• Flexible itinerary

Choose the Best Time to Travel

Kenya offers year-round safaris.

Best Seasons:

• July – October: Great Migration (Masai Mara)
• January – March: Excellent wildlife & fewer crowds
• April – June: Green season, best value for private safaris

Private Kenya safaris are especially rewarding during quieter months.

Build the Right Length Safari

Private safaris shine on longer trips.

Ideal Durations:

• 3–5 days: First-time travelers
• 6–8 days: Multi-park safaris
• 9–14 days: Ultimate Kenya or Kenya–Tanzania safaris

Longer safaris allow:

• Slower pace
• Deeper wildlife encounters
• Less driving stress
