With over 2,000 distinct languages, Africa represents about one-third of the world’s linguistic diversity. From Swahili in East Africa to Yoruba in West Africa, travelers with Chariot’s African safari tours can immerse themselves in local communities and learn greetings or songs in languages like Maasai or Zulu, creating unforgettable cultural connections.
Unlike typical safari companies, we partner directly with indigenous groups to offer immersive activities like beadwork, traditional meals, storytelling by elders, and participation in age-old ceremonies. Every journey is designed to honor heritage, support local livelihoods, and give travelers a deeper, more meaningful connection to the places they visit. This is more than a safari, it’s a cultural awakening.
At Chariot Safaris, we don’t just take you to see wildlife, we take you into the soul of Kenya. Our adventures blend traditional game drives with authentic cultural experiences, allowing you to connect with local communities, hear their stories, learn their customs, and witness their way of life firsthand.

The “best” safari is the one that’s perfect for you! As a Kenyan-based tour operator, we specialize in creating unforgettable experiences in our beautiful country.
The “Big Five” are the five most iconic and sought-after animals to see and photograph on safari. Today, the term represents a rewarding goal for many visitors. They are:
Both are incredible destinations that we proudly take our clients to, but they offer different experiences.
The best month for an African safari is generally during the dry season, which runs from June to October.
During these months, the vegetation is sparse and animals are easier to spot as they gather around predictable water sources. This is also the peak season for the famous Great Migration in Kenya’s Maasai Mara. While this is the busiest time, it offers the most rewarding wildlife viewing opportunities.
Kenya offers a safari for every type of traveler, and at Chariot Safaris, we pride ourselves on helping you find the perfect match. While the Maasai Mara National Reserve is the most famous for the Great Migration, our expert team can recommend unique alternatives:
We offer transparent pricing for our Kenya safaris. You can expect to pay anywhere from $250 USD per person per day for a budget-friendly group safari to $650+ USD per person per day for a luxury experience. The cost is influenced by factors we discuss with you, such as your chosen vehicle (safari van vs. 4×4 land cruiser), the time of year, and the quality of your accommodation.
At Chariot Safaris, we specialize in a huge variety of safari experiences beyond the classic game drive. We can create a tailor-made package for you that includes:
Both are incredible destinations that we proudly take our clients to, but they offer different experiences.
For a full Kenyan safari experience, we recommend a 7- to 10-day tour. This duration allows you to visit at least two different parks, travel between them without rushing, and enjoy multiple game drives to increase your chances of seeing all the key wildlife.
Comfort is key! As your travel partner, we always advise our clients to dress in layers.
As a local Kenyan tour operator, we know Kenya is famous for its classic savanna safaris and incredibly diverse landscapes. It’s the home of the Great Migration and vast national parks like the Maasai Mara. Beyond wildlife, Kenya is also renowned for its beautiful Indian Ocean coastline, a rich cultural heritage, and the Great Rift Valley.
Mount Kenya, the second-highest mountain in Africa, has a summit with permanent snow and glaciers. Its highest peaks, Batian and Nelion, are often snow-capped, offering a striking visual against the backdrop of the equator. Chariot Safaris can arrange guided climbing tours of this iconic mountain for a truly unforgettable adventure.
