Planning a safari in Kenya is exciting, but choosing the right safari company can be surprisingly difficult.

There are hundreds of safari operators, tour companies and travel agencies offering trips to the Masai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo, Samburu and other wildlife destinations. Prices can also vary considerably, even when two itineraries look almost identical.

So how do you know which Kenya safari operator is right for you?

The answer is not simply to choose the company with the lowest price or the biggest list of destinations. A good safari operator should understand Kenya, plan realistic routes, communicate clearly and make sure your safari fits the way you actually want to travel.

This is where Annest Kenya Safaris aims to make a difference.

From short safaris starting in Mombasa to longer private journeys through Kenya’s famous national parks, Annest helps travelers put together a safari that works for their time, budget and interests.

What Does a Kenya Safari Operator Actually Do?

A safari operator does much more than arrange a game drive.

Behind a good safari is a lot of planning. Someone has to work out the best route, accommodation, park visits, transfers and timing. They also need to consider where you are staying before the safari and where you want to go afterward.

For example, a traveler staying in Diani Beach may have very different options from someone arriving at Nairobi Airport.

A good operator should help you answer questions such as:

• Which parks should I visit?
• How many days do I need?
• Should I travel by road or fly?
• Which accommodation suits my budget?
• Can I start my safari from Mombasa?
• Can I combine several parks?
• Can I finish my safari at the beach?
• Is a private safari worthwhile?

The more personalized the planning, the better the chance that your safari will feel like your own trip rather than a standard package.
