Tour Highlights
Planning your trip from Germany
Your adventure begins as you leave Nairobi behind and travel into the Great Rift Valley, arriving at the Maasai Mara in time for an afternoon game drive. The landscape here is exactly as you've imagined: endless grasslands dotted with acacia trees, a scene straight out of a nature documentary. Your expert guide, deeply knowledgeable about the local ecosystem, will immediately begin seeking out the incredible wildlife. The thrill of your first lion, elephant, or giraffe sighting against this iconic backdrop is a moment you will never forget.
Your second day is dedicated entirely to exploring the depths of the Mara. We'll embark on early morning and late afternoon game drives, the times when animals are most active. You will search for the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—but the experience is so much richer than a checklist. Witnessing a cheetah survey the plains from a termite mound, watching a hippo pod in the Mara River, or simply being surrounded by a vast herd of zebra is what makes this place magical. The sheer density of wildlife is astonishing, offering non-stop photographic opportunities and unforgettable encounters.
On your final morning, you'll have one last chance to soak in the Mara's atmosphere with a pre-breakfast game drive, often a fantastic time for spotting predators. After a final meal at the lodge, you will begin your journey back to Nairobi, filled with incredible memories. This compact safari provides a rich, authentic taste of the wild, ensuring that even a short trip from Germany feels like a complete and fulfilling adventure.
Visa & Entry
German passport holders require an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) to enter Kenya, which should be applied for online before departure. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your date of entry and have at least one blank page. Always confirm the latest requirements and apply through the official Government of Kenya eTA portal.
Flights & Connections
Flights from Germany to Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) are readily available. Lufthansa offers direct flights from Frankfurt (FRA), with a flight time of around 8.5 hours. Convenient one-stop options are also plentiful via major hubs like Amsterdam (KLM), Dubai (Emirates), and Istanbul (Turkish Airlines), with total travel times typically ranging from 11 to 14 hours.
Health, Climate & Packing
We recommend consulting your doctor or a tropical medicine institute in Germany for advice on vaccinations like Yellow Fever and malaria prophylaxis. While you'll be leaving Europe's distinct seasons behind, Kenya's climate requires layers. Pack light clothing for warm days, but also a fleece or warm jacket for the surprisingly cool early mornings and evenings on the savannah, which can be a surprise for those used to a German summer.
Money, Time & Culture
Kenya's currency is the Kenyan Shilling (KES), but US Dollars are widely used for tourism purposes like tipping. Major credit cards are accepted at lodges, but it's wise to carry cash. Kenya is one or two hours ahead of Germany, depending on daylight saving time. You will need a Type G (UK-style) plug adapter, different from the Type F used in Germany.
Tipping Culture
Tipping is customary and greatly appreciated for good service. We suggest budgeting around $10-15 USD per person, per day for your safari guide, and using a central tip box for lodge staff.
Connectivity & eSIMs
While Wi-Fi is available in most lodges, it can be slow. For reliable data, consider purchasing a local SIM card at the airport in Nairobi or an eSIM online before you travel, a popular and convenient option for German visitors.
Guidance only — confirm visa, entry and health requirements with the official embassy or eVisa portal before you travel.
