Without question, the most popular and renowned Kenya safari destination is Masai Mara, which is found near the Tanzania border in southwest Kenya. It's a pretty easy reach from Nairobi, and Lake Victoria is not too far off either, should you want to head there too. Governors Camp is just one of the lodges in Kenya found at the Masai Mara game reserve, and it enjoys quite a worldly reputation, that's for sure. Not only are the meals and lodgings here top notch, but Governors Camp also has great safari guides, so there is really nothing that one could fault. Like most of the other Masai Mara Kenya safari lodges, Governors Camp is a tented camp, only these aren't your average tents or camps. Just outside the Masai Mara reserve, the Saruni Safari Camp is a nice Kenya safari lodge also worth considering, as most of them are. It offers six cottages that are really quite elegant, featuring things like Persian rugs and authentic African art. Fans of the movie "Out of Africa" will get a thrill should they choose the Kitchwa Tembo Bateleur and Tented Camps as their Masai Mara lodge, as it is found close to where the movie was filmed. It also boasts plenty of antiques to drive home a nostalgic feel.

Tsavo National Park is another top wildlife safari destination, and it's found further towards the coast, making it one of the top Kenya attractions for those enjoying a Kenya beach vacation. Boasting millions of acres of wilderness and plenty of interesting animals to view, Tsavo delivers on the safari experience, and it's also where one of the favorite lodges in Kenya is found. Much like the Kitchwa Tembo Bateleur, Finch Hatton's Camp also aims to harken back to the past, offering a romantic and inspiring atmosphere. Offering spacious and comfortable safari tents, Finch Hatton's Camp is found pretty much smack dab in the middle of the incredibly large Tsavo National Park, so you're guaranteed to get a healthy dose of wildlife and fresh air. At Aberdares National Park, the Samburu National Reserve, and other Kenya safari destinations, you can expect more entries among the quality Kenya safari lodges, and when it comes to lodging in Kenya, the safari lodges are just plain hard to beat. The wildlife and natural views aside, these lodges provide excellent meals for their guests, and since you're far away from civilization as we know it, truly relaxing is something you can't avoid. As a side note, if you love elephants, then the Kenya safari lodge for you is the Elephant Watch Safari Camp at the Samburu National Reserve. It's run by an elephant conservationist, and you're guaranteed to see elephants.

After you've stayed at a Kenya safari lodge for a few days at one of the game reserves, you might entertain the idea of heading towards Mount Kenya to enjoy a stay at the Mount Kenya Safari Club, which has a reputation for being a sort of "jet-set" choice for lodging in Kenya. It's surely a luxurious lodge, and besides offering stunning views of Mount Kenya, it also provides its guests with a range of possible activities. Golf, horseback riding, and croquet are just a few of the activities you can enjoy at the Mount Kenya Safari Club, and the service and cuisine is really very satisfying. Lake Nakuru National Park is another popular destination where you will find some nice lodges in Kenya, one of which is the eponymous Lake Nakuru Lodge. A decidedly African decor dominates throughout, and the guest rooms and cottages are well-decorated, featuring wood furnishings and nice ensuite bathrooms. Should you stay at the Lake Nakuru Lodge, you'll be able to see the renowned pink flamingos at Lake Nakuru, which is pretty astonishing. If these lodges in Kenya sound pretty interesting, imagine what it would actually be like to stay at one! Gets the mind wandering, that's for sure.
