Kenya Golf Safari
Nairobi, Naivasha, Maasai Mara & Coast Golf Adventure
Ten days of championship fairways, Big Five game drives, and Indian Ocean coastline across Kenya's most iconic destinations.
This Kenya golf safari connects five of the country's most celebrated courses with wildlife-rich game reserves and a sun-drenched Mombasa beach finale, all arranged into one cohesive, family-friendly itinerary. From Nairobi's tree-lined fairways to the windswept links above the Indian Ocean, every round is paired with a distinct landscape and cultural encounter. Private transfers, a scenic domestic flight, and experienced local guides handle the logistics so guests can focus entirely on the experience.
The itinerary opens in Nairobi, where Karen Country Club — host venue of the Magical Kenya Open — and the venerable Muthaiga Golf Club set a high standard for the rounds ahead. Between tee times, guests visit the Giraffe Centre and the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, two of the city's most meaningful conservation attractions. The pace is unhurried, with optional leisure built into each Nairobi evening.
A single drive west delivers guests to Lake Naivasha and the Great Rift Valley Golf Club, where the escarpment backdrop makes for one of the most visually striking rounds in East Africa. That afternoon, a walking safari at Crescent Island places visitors among free-roaming giraffes and zebras without the barrier of a vehicle window. The contrast between manicured greens and open savanna defines this stretch of the journey.
The coast segment rounds out the adventure with two very different golf experiences: the established Nyali Golf and Country Club set among mature tropical trees, and the internationally acclaimed Vipingo Ridge perched on coral cliffs above the ocean. A guided walk through Mombasa Old Town, a session of beach watersports, and a round at the historic Mombasa Golf Club — founded in 1911 — fill the days between tee times with genuine cultural and recreational depth.
