A Kenya safari from Poland has become one of the most popular long-haul adventures for Polish travellers, and it is easier than many people think. One connection takes your group from Warsaw, Kraków, Gdańsk, Wrocław or Katowice to Nairobi, Kenya is just one or two hours ahead of Polish time, and the Masai Mara is a short drive or bush flight away.
We are a Nairobi-based safari company, and we welcome Polish families, groups of friends, couples and photography enthusiasts. Many combine a safari in Kenya with the beaches of Zanzibar or the Kenyan coast. This guide explains how to plan a Kenya safari from Poland in eight simple steps.

Why Polish Travellers Choose a Kenya Safari
For many Polish groups, Kenya is the first true safari. It offers the Big Five, the Great Migration, Amboseli’s elephants under Kilimanjaro, the rhinos and flamingos of Lake Nakuru and Indian Ocean beaches, all within a compact area and with good infrastructure. Compared with many safari destinations, a Kenya safari from Poland also offers excellent value, especially in the green season.
Kenya is also an easy partner for Zanzibar, which has become a favourite winter beach destination for Polish holidaymakers. A short regional flight links Nairobi with Zanzibar, so your group can enjoy the Masai Mara first and then relax on the island’s white beaches.
8 Steps to Plan a Kenya Safari from Poland
1. Pick your season
Polish winter school holidays (ferie zimowe) fall between January and February, depending on the region, which matches Kenya’s dry green season perfectly. Summer holidays in July and August coincide with the Great Migration. The May long weekend (majówka) falls in the rainy season, with the lowest prices of the year.
2. Choose the length of your trip
Five days on safari is ideal for a first visit. With ten days or more, add Amboseli, Samburu, Tanzania or a beach stay.
3. Agree on a budget
Decide whether your group prefers budget, mid-range or luxury camps before asking for quotes. Read our guide to budget safari camps in Kenya to see what good value looks like.
4. Book flights
Most groups fly via Amsterdam, Brussels, Istanbul or a Gulf hub. In winter, holiday charter flights from Polish airports often serve Zanzibar, which can be a good start or finish point. Groups of ten or more should contact an airline group desk.
5. Request your proposal
Send us your dates, group size, ages and interests. We check live availability and send a written plan.
6. Pay the deposit
A deposit of around 20–30% secures camps, vehicles and guides. See our safari deposit and payment plans guide.
7. Sort out eTAs, health and insurance
Apply for your eTA on the official Kenya eTA portal, check the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ advice on gov.pl, visit a travel medicine clinic 6–8 weeks before departure, and buy insurance with medical evacuation cover. Our Kenya entry requirements guide explains the eTA in detail.
8. Pay the balance and pack
The balance is usually due 30–60 days before travel. Then work through our Kenya safari packing list together.
