These answers cover common questions from travellers considering a private Kenya or East Africa safari with Recon Travels.
Can Recon Travels customize a safari?
Yes. Published itineraries are starting points. Dates, route, pace, accommodation category, transport and optional activities can be adjusted before confirmation.
How do I get an accurate safari price?
Send your dates, party size, rooming, preferred destinations, accommodation level and budget range through the Request Quote form. Pricing depends on the confirmed services and current availability.
Are wildlife sightings guaranteed?
No. Wildlife is free-ranging and migration movements vary. Guides work with current conditions and local information, but a particular animal sighting or river crossing cannot be promised.
When should I plan a Kenya safari?
Kenya offers safari possibilities throughout the year, but weather, visitor numbers and wildlife patterns vary by season and destination. If you want specific camps during popular travel periods, earlier planning gives more accommodation choice.
Can I combine Kenya and Tanzania?
Yes, selected itineraries combine Kenya with Tanzania. The most practical border or flight routing depends on your dates and final itinerary.
Can families travel on safari?
Yes, but lodge and activity age policies differ. Include children’s ages in your enquiry so rooming, driving time and activities can be considered.
Can I combine safari and beach?
Yes. Kenya safari routes can be combined with the Indian Ocean coast. See our bush-to-beach itinerary as an example.
What should I send with my enquiry?
Your travel dates, group size, children’s ages where relevant, rooming, destinations, preferred comfort level, budget range and special interests help us prepare a more useful proposal.
