Kenya Safari Lodges: Luxury, Mid-Range & Budget Camps | Book Your Safari

Kenya has no single “best” lodge — the ideal choice depends on your travel style, wildlife expectations, and budget.
For luxury, choose Mara Bushtops, Mara Explorer, Mahali Mzuri, Finch Hattons, Tortilis Amboseli, or Sirikoi Lodge.
For mid-range, choose Sarova Mara, Sentrim Amboseli, Lake Naivasha Sopa, or Sweetwaters Serena.
For budget, choose Enkorok Mara Camp, Jambo Mara Lodge, or Orng’atuny Mara King Camp.

At Divine Travel Nest Safaris, we match you to the lodge that fits your budget and experience goals — ensuring you get the best wildlife encounters and value.

A safari lodge is a permanent structure with traditional rooms, while a tented camp uses luxury canvas tents built on raised platforms.
Lodges offer more hotel-style amenities (pools, bars, stone buildings).
Tented camps provide a more immersive, nature-centered experience — you hear lions, hyenas, and hippos at night.

Both options are safe and comfortable; your choice depends on the level of adventure you prefer.

The best months are:

• July–October for the Great Migration in the Masai Mara

• January–March for clear skies and excellent photography

• December for green season wildlife and fewer crowds

Amboseli is fantastic year-round thanks to its elephant herds and Mount Kilimanjaro views.

If you’re unsure, we help you choose dates based on your lodge availability and wildlife preferences.
