About Plan a Safari

Who we are

I'm Scott. I went to Kenya on my honeymoon with my wife and my father-in-law, who had been on safari before and stayed in touch with his guide, Polycarp. Over three weeks we traveled through Laikipia, Lake Nakuru, the Maasai Mara and Tsavo, visited Maasai and Samburu villages, and took close to 2,000 photos. This site started as a way to share that trip and has grown into a planning resource for anyone thinking about their own safari.

What you'll find here

• Our trip story and photo album, all photos our own
• Kenya safari guides on timing, costs, the Kenya eTA, packing and wildlife
• The blog, with new posts on wildlife, culture and planning
