Frequently Asked Questions about Kenya Golf Tours
Can I really combine playing golf with going on a wildlife safari in Kenya?
Absolutely! Kenya is a premier destination for combining these two passions. Many specialised tour operators offer packages that seamlessly blend rounds of golf on beautiful courses with thrilling wildlife viewing experiences in world-renowned national parks and conservancies.
What kind of safari experience is typically included?
Safari components usually involve game drives in comfortable 4x4 safari vehicles within national parks, reserves, or private conservancies. Popular destinations often included are the Maasai Mara (famous for the Great Migration), Amboseli (known for elephants and views of Kilimanjaro), Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Tsavo, or Nairobi National Park. You'll have chances to spot the "Big Five" and diverse wildlife, led by knowledgeable driver-guides.
When is the best time of year for a Kenya golf safari?
The dry seasons are generally recommended for the best experience:
June to October: Pleasant weather, less rain, excellent wildlife viewing. This also coincides with the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara (July-September).
January to March: Hot and dry, generally good for both golf and spotting wildlife near water sources. The rainy seasons (April-May and Nov-Dec) can sometimes disrupt golf, though courses remain open, and the scenery is greener.
Are these tours suitable if my partner or companion doesn't play golf?
Yes, definitely. Most operators design tours with non-golfers in mind. While golfers are playing, companions can often enjoy alternative activities such as spa treatments, swimming, guided walks, bird watching, cultural visits, shopping excursions, or simply relaxing at the lodge/hotel. Some itineraries might offer extra safari activities for non-golfers.
Do I need an official golf handicap to play?
No your don't. While many courses are welcoming, some prestigious private clubs (often featured on tours, like Karen or Muthaiga) may require visiting golfers to present a valid handicap certificate. It's best to confirm the policy for each course on your itinerary when booking. As your tour operators, we are happy to provide this information and assist.
How long are typical Kenya golf safari tours?
They vary greatly. We have some short tours that are under 5 days focusing on 1 or 2 spots around Nairobi - the capital city and Mombasa. You will also find tours of 5-7 days focusing on one or two regions (e.g., Nairobi & Masai Mara). If you really want to sample Kenya at length, book one of the omprehensive tours lasting 7 - 14 days or even longer, covering multiple golf courses and prime safari destinations across the country.
