At Top Poly Holiday Trails we live and breathe Africa. We love everything about this extraordinary continent and understand that we have a responsibility to protect and respect her — her nature, her wildlife, her people, her traditions.
We are proud to work with select suppliers and safari lodges that share the same ethos. We partner primarily with conservation companies focused on protecting local habitat and wildlife, and those directly empowering local communities through employment, economic support and funding of schools and medical centres.
Plan a Responsible Safari →Everything you need to know before booking your Africa adventure.
The best time is during the dry seasons: January–March and July–October. The Great Wildebeest Migration peaks between July and September in the Maasai Mara. Even the green season has its charms — fewer crowds and lush, photogenic landscapes.
Kenya uses an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA). Most nationalities apply online at etakenya.go.ke. Processing takes around 72 hours and costs USD 30. Apply at least 2 weeks before departure — we're happy to guide you through the process.
Pack light and neutral (khaki, olive, beige). Essentials: wide-brimmed hat, high-SPF sunscreen, insect repellent, comfortable walking shoes, fleece for early mornings, binoculars and a camera with zoom lens. A full packing list is provided on booking.
Maximum 6 guests per vehicle — everyone gets a window seat. For complete privacy, we offer exclusive private vehicle hire. All vehicles are custom 4×4 Land Cruisers with pop-up roofs for 360° wildlife viewing.
Absolutely — and we highly recommend it! Kenya's Swahili Coast (Mombasa, Diani, Watamu) is a short domestic flight from Nairobi. Our Beach & Bush packages combine 4–5 days of game drives with 3–4 days of ocean relaxation.
Our services are focused on Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa and Uganda. This is no coincidence — we purpose to focus on what we know and what we do best, ensuring unmatched quality in every destination we offer.
