Game Drives in Kenya

Game Drives in Kenya

Morning and afternoon drives with a driver-guide in a pop-up roof safari vehicle, the core of every Kenyan safari.

A game drive is where most of your safari happens. You head out at first light when predators are still active, return to the lodge for breakfast or lunch, and go out again in the late afternoon when the heat drops and animals move to water.

Our driver-guides know where the herds have been moving, read the radio chatter, and position the vehicle for the best photos without crowding the animals. Every safari package on this site includes game drives.

Tips

  • Bring binoculars and a zoom lens (200mm+).
  • Wear neutral colours and carry a light jacket for early mornings.
  • Ask your guide for a full-day drive with a picnic lunch to reach remote areas.
