Travel has a special way of refreshing the mind, creating lasting memories, and connecting us with nature and new cultures. A safari in Kenya offers more than just sightseeing, it’s about experiencing wildlife up close, exploring beautiful landscapes, and enjoying moments you’ll always remember.
Because every traveller is different, Arch Treks Safaris works hand in hand with you to design tailor-made itineraries shaped around your interests, personal travel goals and what you would love to experience.
There are various safari trip types designed to match different interests, budgets, and travel styles. Whether you’re chasing adventure, first time explorer, celebrating love, escaping burnout, reconnecting with nature, or marking a special life milestone, each journey is thoughtfully crafted to inspire meaningful experiences.
Understanding these options can help you choose the experience that fits you best and makes your journey truly worthwhile.
1. Wildlife Safaris
Wildlife safaris are Kenya’s most iconic travel experience, centered on game drives through national parks and reserves where travellers encounter Africa’s remarkable wildlife. These trips typically include morning and evening game drives led by experienced guides who understand animal behaviour and terrain, increasing the chances of spotting the famous Big Five; lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino. Along the way, travellers enjoy diverse landscapes, incredible photography opportunities, and immersive moments in nature that define the true safari experience.
2. Private Safaris
Private safaris offer a fully customized experience designed around your schedule, interests, and preferred pace. With a dedicated vehicle and professional guide, you gain flexibility to spend more time at wildlife sightings, adjust travel times, and explore destinations more intimately. This option provides greater privacy, comfort, and personalization, making it ideal for anyone seeking an exclusive safari experience.
3. Group Safaris
Group safaris bring travellers together to share transport, accommodations, and guided experiences. These trips usually follow fixed itineraries, making them more cost-effective than private safaris while still offering rich wildlife encounters. They also create opportunities for social interaction, allowing travellers to connect with like-minded adventurers while exploring Kenya’s landscapes and wildlife together.
4. Adventure & Hiking Trips
Adventure and hiking safaris focus on exploration beyond traditional game drives, appealing to travellers who enjoy physical activity and outdoor challenges. These experiences may include guided nature walks, mountain trekking, hill climbs, and visits to scenic viewpoints. They offer fresh perspectives of Kenya’s landscapes while promoting physical wellness, and a deeper appreciation of nature.
5. Cultural & Community Tours
Cultural safaris highlight Kenya’s rich heritage, traditions, and community life. Travellers may visit local villages, experience cultural performances, listen to storytelling, and learn about traditional customs and lifestyles. These tours encourage responsible tourism by fostering meaningful connections with local communities while offering a deeper understanding of Kenya beyond wildlife.
6. Beach & Safari Combination Trips
These trips combine wildlife safaris with coastal relaxation, allowing travellers to experience both Kenya’s savannahs and its stunning beaches. After exciting game drives, travellers unwind at coastal resorts where activities like snorkelling, dhow excursions, and ocean relaxation provide a refreshing contrast to the safari experience.
7. Honeymoon & Romantic Safaris
Romantic safaris are designed to create intimate, memorable experiences for couples. Luxury lodges or tented camps, sunset game drives, scenic landscapes, and personalized touches such as bush dinners contribute to a romantic atmosphere. These trips are ideal for honeymoons, anniversaries, or couples simply seeking quality time in extraordinary settings.
8. Corporate & Team-Building Trips
Corporate safaris combine travel with professional bonding and wellness experiences. These trips often include team-building activities, retreats, adventure challenges, and relaxation opportunities that encourage collaboration, networking, and rejuvenation outside the typical work environment.
9. Family-Friendly Safaris
Family safaris are structured to ensure safety, comfort, and engagement for travellers of all ages. Child-friendly lodges, shorter game drives, and educational wildlife experiences help make the journey enjoyable and enriching for both children and adults. These trips create opportunities for shared learning, bonding, and unforgettable family memories.
