Sometimes we need a little adventure in our lives — and where else better than Kenya to seek out escapades? From lions and leopards to majestic landscapes that will make you take one too many photos, Kenya has it all!

This is the perfect time to fly to Kenya because AirAsia X is offering an exclusive promo for its direct flights to Nairobi, the country’s capital.

From now until 11 May, enjoy all-in one-way direct flights from Kuala Lumpur to Nairobi with AirAsia X from just RM799*!

If you’re travelling before 31 August 2025, then this is a no-brainer deal for adventure seekers like you.

No idea on how to find these adventures? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with four safari experiences in Nairobi for your consideration, ranging from stress-free budget to bougie kaw-kaw:

 

1. Day Trip Budget Safari: For travellers with FOMO but tight schedules (or wallets)

Aanairobi National Park Game Drive
Nairobi National Park

  • Price range: Under US$80 / ~RM385
  • Duration: 4 hours
  • Includes: Pickup & drop-off, comfy Land Cruiser ride, game drive
  • Location:
    • Nairobi National Park
      Aanairobi Nairobi National Park

The only place in the world where you can see wild lions, giraffes, and rhinos roaming freely with the city skyline in the background. It’s the fastest, easiest way to see Nairobi’s natural icons in the wild right outside the city. You could land at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in the morning, go for the safari in the afternoon, and still make it back in time for dinner!

 

2. 4-Day Budget Safari: Affordable, but still fun, adventurous

Aanairobi Masai Mara Tree
Masai Mara

  • Price range: US$585–$725 / ~RM2,800–RM3,500
  • Duration: 4 days
  • Includes: Shared transport, basic tents/hotels, meals, game drives
  • Locations:
    • Masai Mara
      Aanairobi Masai Mara

This is THE place to catch the legendary Great Migration (millions of wildebeest crossing the plains like a sequence from National Geographic). See if you can spot all the Big Five here: lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo.

    • Lake Nakuru

A scenic soda lake (a lake type with high levels of alkaline salts) in Kenya’s Rift Valley, it’s famous for the communal gathering of vibrant pink flamingos (they love feasting on its abundance of algae) and rich wildlife like rhinos, giraffes, and the occasional tree-climbing lion.

 

3. 5-Day Mid-Range Safari: For a comfortable (and reasonably-priced) family trip

Aanairobi Amboseli National Park Road
Amboseli

  • Price range: US$1,579–$2,338 / ~RM7,600–RM11,200
  • Duration: 5 days
  • Includes: Private transport, mid-range lodges, enhanced game drives, all meals
  • Locations:
    • Masai Mara
    • Lake Nakuru
    • Amboseli
      Aanairobi Amboseli National Park

Amboseli National Park is basically an elephant paradise, famous for its large elephant herds and stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro towering just across the border in Tanzania. Its mix of open plains, swamps, and acacia woodlands makes it ideal for wildlife to thrive in the open like lions, cheetahs, buffalo, and different birds.

 

4. 5-Day Luxury Safari: For a wild, romantic getaway

  • Price range: US$2,135–$3,114 / ~RM10,200–RM14,900

Same route as the mid-range option above, but this time, it’s all about private luxury lodges or tented camps, gourmet meals, and VIP-treatment game drives. If you have an anniversary or proposal coming up, this could be your opportunity to create unforgettable memories.
