Types of Visas:

Kenya offers various types of visas based on the purpose and duration of your visit. Here are the most common ones:

  • Single Entry Visa: This visa allows you to enter Kenya once and stay for up to 90 days. It is suitable for tourists and business travellers.
  • Transit Visa: If you're passing through Kenya on your way to another destination and your stay is less than 72 hours, a transit visa is the right choice.
  • Courtesy Visa: Diplomats, government officials, and other individuals entitled to diplomatic privileges can apply for a courtesy visa.
  • Multiple Entry Visa: If you plan to enter Kenya multiple times within a specified period, a multiple entry visa is ideal for you. This is often chosen by business travellers.

We understand the importance of great relationships, and that's why we have been cultivating ours on the continent for over decades.

From the very first inquiry email to my departure from Nairobi, Silas and his team at Safari Update Travels could not have been more supportive and friendly. I was met at the airport, delivered to the hotel and throughout the 3 day safari the driver, accommodation and food were superb.

I had an amazing experience in Masai Masa. I booked my Masai Mara 3 day 2 night package from Safari Update Travels. My point of contact was Silas who has always been available to answer all my queries. He is easily reachable. He had assigned to us tour guide Jack who did a brilliant job as we witnessed all big fives.

What a fantastic experience and trip Silas and the Safari Updates team organized. They are skilled, competent, and incredibly diligent. He accomplished our goal of taking safaris in both Kenya and Tanzania over the course of six days. Despite having made our booking for Kilimanjaro with a different Firm, he assisted us and remained in touch with us to see how we were doing.

I and my family went on a 7-day trip to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and to Masai Mara. Amboseli had the most amazing heart of elephants, as well as a spectacular view of Mt. Kilimanjaro. There are plenty of animals at Lake Nakuru... lions, cheetahs, leopards, giraffe, buffalo.

The agent Xavier is very social and clear in his communication. We had a really great experience in Masai Mara. We enjoyed the game drives, and Martin was an excellent driver and guide. Very knowledgeable and was able to answer all the questions that we had. The accommodation in jambo mara was very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
