Frequently Asked Questions

Most packages include accommodation and meals as specified, a private 4×4 Land Cruiser with a professional driver-guide, park or reserve entry fees, scheduled game drives, bottled water on drives, and Nairobi pickup and drop-off where stated. Exact inclusions are listed on each tour package page. Visa or eTA fees, travel insurance, tips, and personal expenses are typically excluded.

Yes. Our safaris visit Kenya destinations renowned for the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino — including the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo, Ol Pejeta, and Lake Nakuru. Sightings are never guaranteed because wildlife is wild, but experienced local guides maximise your chances on morning and evening game drives.

Our safaris are typically private. Your party travels in a dedicated 4×4 Land Cruiser with your own driver-guide, so the pace, photo stops, and itinerary focus stay with you. Shared departures are not our standard model — ask us if you prefer a different arrangement.

Yes. We design journeys for couples, families, friends, and private groups. Selected packages offer child rates (typically ages 2–11) and infant-friendly options. Tell us your group size, ages, and interests and we will recommend a published package or a fully tailor-made itinerary.

Booking with Tropisch Tours & Travel means working with a Nairobi-based team with deep East African knowledge, trusted lodge and guide partnerships, and end-to-end logistics from airport arrival to journey home. Local operators can adapt quickly to park conditions, weather, and wildlife movements — with a single point of contact throughout your trip.

Safaris run year-round. Dry seasons (June–October and January–February) generally offer the best wildlife viewing and easier road access. The Maasai Mara Great Migration peaks roughly July–October. Green seasons (March–May and November) bring lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and excellent birdlife — ideal if you prefer quieter parks.
