9 Day Kenya Golf Safari: Nairobi, Mount Kenya, Naivasha & Vipingo
This nine-day Kenya golf safari moves from the highlands to the coast, with wildlife between the rounds. Play Windsor in Nairobi, the equator course at the Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club, and the Great Rift Valley Lodge course above Lake Naivasha, then fly to the north coast for two nights at Vipingo Ridge and its PGA-accredited Baobab Course.
Off the course, meet the orphaned elephants of the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and the giraffes of the Giraffe Centre, see rhinos and chimpanzees at Ol Pejeta, walk among giraffes on Crescent Island and cycle through Hell’s Gate. Green fees are paid locally, so you only pay for the rounds you play.
