Dear Fellow Traveler

I was very fortunate to be introduced to Thomas & his colleague at Fact Safaris by a work colleague. I was given a glowing report of Fact Safaris, & can most definitely echo what I was told. I was arriving in Nairobi as a first time visitor to that part of the world, on short notice, very limited time & budget. Fact Safaris via email gave me several options & I was lucky enough to head down to the Mara for a very quick couple of days. If you as a traveler are looking for high quality customer service, rapid response to your queries, patience & understanding then I would highly recommend you begin you holiday search with this company. I really enjoyed my trip & would happily encourage other travelers to go & enjoy the wonders of the Mara, the animals, the early morning light & the exquisite silence of open spaces. Of course you will also be lucky enough to be looked after by Thomas & his team who make you feel very important no matter who you are!

Thanks so much guys, it was a pleasure doing business with you.

ADVENTURE SAFARIS

These safaris are for thrill seekers, offering experiences that will last you a lifetime. These range from walking in the African bush following the footsteps of our nomadic tribes, to crossing great and trackless areas using camels or riding alongside wild game in the beautiful landscape. You may wish to soar in a balloon for a bird’s eye view of the wildlife, or conquer the summit of the highest mountain in Kenya.

Some of these options would have age restrictions.

CAMPING SAFARIS

There is nothing better than sleeping under the stars experiencing Africa’s magical moments. This is the most ideal safari for those who like to “rough it” in two person Doum tents provided for your accommodation, whereby mattresses are laid on the sewn-in ground sheet. The tents are spacious enough for two people and they have mesh on each window to screen away the insects. These safaris are accompanied by a chef who prepares all your meals. We recommend clients to bring their own sleeping bags and personal items. The public campsites provide basic washroom facilities of a reasonable hygienic standard for budget camping safaris. The campsites are safe and there is usually a night guard. Children below 5 years are NOT recommended for these safaris.

CULTURAL SAFARIS

Kenya has one of the most diverse social tapestries on earth. The Kenyan culture unites its people and makes them a strong, proud people, who wish to warmly welcome you to our beautiful country. Traveling in Kenya is to experience this unique cultural mosaic which is as old as creation. Everywhere you travel, you will be met by diverse and fascinating cultures. These safaris will allow you to experience the rich cultural heritage first hand. By staying in lodges/camps that are managed by, or work closely with the local communities, you will learn more about our cultures and the way tradition survives in the modern world. There is no age limit for these safaris.

FAMILY SAFARIS

An African safari is an exciting journey for a family. With new experiences at every turn, action packed days with no distracting television. Families traveling to East Africa have a great opportunity to bond, communicate, and interact with each other, whilst learning so much about themselves and the world around them. To ensure that children do not negatively impact other guests’ experiences, we ask parents to make sure they take care to instruct their children to obey the rules & regulations governing the safari, and accommodation properties. The accommodation properties offer special programmes for children which gives them the opportunity to experience the time of their lives, while the parents unwind. There is no age limit for these safaris.

FLYING SAFARIS

These safaris are highly recommended for those with limited time for travel. The flight duration is approx. 1 – 2 Hours, depending on the destinations. Shared scheduled flights are available, or private charters if you prefer, in light aircraft. These safaris enable you spend more time at the destinations to fully explore the reserves / parks, and enjoy the facilities at the properties you’ll stay in. There is a baggage restriction (usually 15 kg per person including hand luggage) on the flights and it is highly recommended you travel light with soft bags. There is no age limit for these safaris.

SCENIC SAFARIS

Kenya’s diverse landscape makes the country a feast for the eye. In one single country, you will see endless rolling savannah’s, lush rainforests, snowcapped mountains on the equator, tropical beaches, extinct volcanoes, fresh and salt water lakes, hot springs and geysers, baking deserts, glaciers and coral reefs. These safaris will give you the world in a single country. There is no age limit for these safaris.

WILDLIFE SAFARIS

Kenya is blessed with an incredible range of wild habitat, each with its own unique range of species. Each habitat is a new territory for you to explore. These safaris not only give you the chance to see our wildlife but also a wild world of fascinating natural behavior and interactions between species that will enthrall you, whether it is an Elephant cutting grass with its toe nails; Turtle hatchlings running to the sea; or a Cheetah teaching its cub how to hunt – and there’s so much more to discover. After the day’s’ activities, relax on your balcony, or go for a sundowner to watch the sunset turn the sky gold as the distant bark of a hyena brings the day to a perfect close. The age limit for this package is above 7 years.

BIRDING SAFARIS

From the world’s biggest bird, the Ostrich, to spectacular flamingo’s that congregate in their millions at the various Lakes of the Great Rift Valley, camouflaging them in pink, Kenya holds some remarkable birding sights that you have to see to believe them. The variety of birds in Kenya is made possible by our favorable climate, diverse habitats, and geographical features that make it a suitable migratory route for birds. With 11% of the world’s bird species – 1,098, Kenya’s birding is one of the best in the world.

Our birding safaris are led by a professional birder who together with our driver/guide will broaden your birding experience beyond the usual guiding services.
