Why travellers from Sydney choose us
Built for the way you travel

Questions from travellers in Sydney
- How do I fly from Sydney to Nairobi?
- Via Doha (Qatar), Dubai (Emirates), Abu Dhabi (Etihad) or Singapore — 20–24h total. No direct.
- Visa?
- eTA, $30 online, 2–3 days.
- Best time from Sydney?
- June–October (Aussie winter = Kenyan dry season + Migration). December–February is also superb.
- Can we combine with Tanzania?
- Yes — Mara plus Serengeti is a popular combo, plus Zanzibar for beach time. We handle the cross-border logistics.
- Time difference?
- Kenya is GMT+3; Sydney is +10 (or +11 in AEDT). So 7–8 hours behind — heading west is generally easier on the body.
