Kenya Golf Safari — Vipingo Ridge & the Masai Mara
Championship Golf Among Giraffe & Zebra, Then the Big Five of the Mara
Overview
This is the definitive Kenya golf safari — a journey that pairs genuine championship golf with one of the greatest wildlife experiences on Earth. You open in Nairobi with a round at the historic Windsor course and a game drive in Nairobi National Park, climb into the Great Rift Valley for high-altitude golf above Lake Naivasha, fly into the Masai Mara for the Big Five and the Great Migration, and finish on the coast at Vipingo Ridge, playing the PGA-accredited Baobab Course among giraffe, zebra and eland as the Indian Ocean glitters beyond the fairways.
Vipingo Ridge's Baobab Course is the only PGA-accredited championship course in East and Central Africa, and doubles as a fenced wildlife sanctuary where trained rangers watch over the animals that roam the fairways. Between the coast and the capital, the Masai Mara delivers lion, cheetah, elephant and — from July to October — the thunder of the Great Migration. Golf on a true wildlife frontier, then a world-class Big Five safari: this is a trip that belongs to no other country.
Who It's For
Made for golfers who want their round among wildlife and their safari among the very best. It suits couples and small groups where one traveller is a keen golfer and another simply loves the bush — everyone shares the safari equally.

Best Time to Travel
The golf is superb year-round on Kenya's coast and highlands, but the safari peaks from July to October, when the dry season thins the bush and the Great Migration crosses the Masai Mara. June and the December–February window are also excellent, combining reliable weather with world-class game viewing. The long rains of April and May are quieter and greener, with the lowest prices of the year.
