The original golf and safari country. Championship parkland in the cool Nairobi highlands, a Big Five safari in the Maasai Mara, and a coastal course above the Indian Ocean at Vipingo Ridge to finish.
Kenya is for the golfer who wants the round to be one chapter of a bigger adventure. It pairs genuinely good golf, played in the mild air of the Nairobi highlands and on the breezy coast, with one of the best safaris on earth and a stretch of Indian Ocean beach to finish. It suits couples, families and buddies groups who want their game woven into a holiday of wildlife, scenery and warmth, with golf as the thread that ties it together.
Nairobi is the gateway and the heart of Kenyan golf, with the historic clubs an easy drive from the city. From there a trip opens into the parks and the coast. See our ranked best courses in Kenya and the wider golf in Kenya guide for the full picture.
