Safari in Kenya?

from Young Black Travelers · host Young Black Travelers

Motherland Adventures founder Dave joins Asshur and Valone to talk about what you can expect on a visit to Kenya. He shares tips on various places you should consider if you are planning to visit Kenya. This east African country is famed for its scenic landscapes and vast wildlife preserves, and he shares all the info about what you should expect to see before visiting.  Dave shares that Kenya is the only country globally where within 20 minutes from the airport 10 minutes from the city center any traveler can have a safari experience at Nairobi National park. His point on the fact that you can be on a Safari in Nairobi and see sky scrapers in the background was extremely interesting. We would have never thought about this.  If you want a longer safari experience, Dave shares that you can plan to take a 3-5 day experience at Masai Mara national park. According to Dave, on a budget, a traveler can pay around USD 350 on the low end for a 3-day experience to Masi Mara.  Dave also talked about other destinations in Kenya that you should consider visiting, like Mombassa. Many people only think of Kenya for the big 5, and they do not think of the beach experience that you can have in Africa, after all, some of the best beaches in Africa are on the east coast!  Our conversation with Dave proves that Kenya may be worth a visit and it may not be all that expensive. He also shares that the prices you may see online for Safaris may be higher than they cost. If you are interested in visiting Kenya, head over to the Young Black Travelers Instagram page and speak with Dave (Motherland Adventures) to book your trip! Nonetheless, happy listening!
