Kenya Safari Holidays from the UK
Caracal Expeditions designs private, tailor-made Kenya safari holidays for British travellers, with GBP quotes, honest advice and seamless connections from London and beyond.
Why Kenya
The classic safari holiday for British travellers
Kenya offers the safari most people picture: lions on open plains, elephants beneath Kilimanjaro and the Great Migration sweeping through the Masai Mara. It is English-speaking, straightforward to navigate and well served by bush flights.
We handle everything on the ground, so you simply fly in and enjoy it.
- World-class wildlife and guiding
- English-speaking and easy to travel
- Convenient flights from London and regional airports
- Safari-and-beach holidays in one trip
Flights and timing
Getting to Kenya from the UK
London offers some of the shortest flight times to Nairobi of any major city, with overnight departures that let you maximise your time off work. Regional connections via London or a European hub are also straightforward.
For the best combination of wildlife and weather, aim for July to October or January to March.
How we work
Personalised itineraries, not group tours
Every Caracal safari is private and built around you. We propose regions, camps and pacing, then refine together until it is right — with no obligation until you confirm. Quotes are provided in GBP.
