Routes & notes
Start here
Three useful ways into Kenya.
Each route answers the decisions that actually shape a trip: where to begin, how much time to allow and what not to squeeze into the same week.
Nairobi
Where to land, how to use your first two days, and why one neighbourhood beats a frantic city checklist.
Read the Nairobi guide
Safari country
Choose the landscape, number of nights and drive time before you choose the famous park name.
Plan a safari
The coast
Pick a base on the Indian Ocean and leave enough time for the coast to feel like a stay, not a transfer.
Explore the coast
A first-week route
City first. Then one clear contrast.
Start with Nairobi, then choose either safari country or the coast. The route becomes calmer, cheaper to move through and much easier to remember.
