A Real Story: A Safari That Changed Everything
When the Mehta family from Mumbai first contacted Mauzee Holiday, they were unsure about traveling to Africa with their 10-year-old daughter who was passionate about wildlife. We suggested Kenya, known for its majestic landscapes, rich wildlife, and Indian-friendly culture. From the moment they landed in Nairobi, it felt like stepping into a real-life wildlife documentary. On the third day, while visiting Maasai Mara National Reserve, they experienced the Great Migration — watching thousands of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles run across the plains while lions observed from the tall grass. Their daughter couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw an elephant up close. The family returned home not just with memories, but with a deep love for Africa. And for us, that’s what travel should feel like — life-changing.
🌍 Why Kenya is the Ideal Destination for Indian Travellers
Kenya has become one of the most popular African destinations for Indian tourists — and for good reasons. First, there are direct flights to Nairobi from major Indian cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, and Bangalore, making travel easy and convenient. For Indians, getting a Kenya tourist visa is also simple through their online eVisa system, which takes just 3 to 5 working days to process.
The biggest attraction in Kenya is, of course, its wildlife safaris. From spotting the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino — to watching the stunning Great Migration, every day on safari feels like a scene from a National Geographic episode. What makes Kenya even more comfortable for Indian families is that English is widely spoken, and there’s an abundance of Indian restaurants in cities like Nairobi and Mombasa. The local people are warm, welcoming, and respectful of Indian culture and food preferences — including vegetarian and Jain food options.
Must-Visit Places in Kenya for Indian Tourists
Kenya is filled with world-famous attractions that offer something for every kind of traveler. Here are the top spots you must include in your itinerary:
Maasai Mara National Reserve: The heart of Kenya’s safari experience, known for the Great Migration and abundant wildlife including lions, cheetahs, and elephants.
Lake Naivasha: A peaceful lake ideal for boat safaris, bird watching, and spotting hippos.
Amboseli National Park: Famous for its giant elephant herds and the stunning backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Nairobi: A modern city with a twist of wildlife — visit the Giraffe Centre, David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, and explore Indian restaurants.
Mombasa & Diani Beach: Perfect for unwinding after a safari — enjoy pristine beaches, Swahili architecture, and water sports.
Mount Kenya: The second-highest peak in Africa, ideal for trekking and scenic relaxation.
Indian Food in Kenya – A Taste of Home
One of the biggest concerns Indian travelers have while going abroad is food. In Kenya, this isn’t a problem at all. Cities like Nairobi and Mombasa have a large Indian population and offer a wide variety of Indian cuisines — from North Indian curries to South Indian dosas. Some popular restaurants include Haandi, Chowpaty, Open House, Ashiana, Bollywood Bites, Flames, and Shehnai. Whether you’re looking for vegetarian, Jain, or even vegan meals — it’s all available, and we can ensure your food preferences are taken care of.
Best Time to Visit Kenya from India
Kenya is a year-round destination, but your experience may vary depending on the time of year:
July to October: This is the best time to see the Great Migration in Maasai Mara and enjoy dry, sunny weather.
December to March: A good time for both safari and beach trips with hot and sunny weather, especially along the coast in Mombasa and Diani Beach.
April to June: Considered the green season — there’s some rain, but it’s less crowded, and packages are more budget-friendly.
