Combine Safari and World Cup 2026 in Kenya
Karen Plains Hotel in Nairobi makes it easy to combine a Kenya safari with the FIFA World Cup 2026. Watch matches live at Moss Oasis restaurant in the evening, explore Nairobi's wildlife attractions by day, and arrange your Masai Mara safari from the hotel — all in one comfortable Karen base.
How to Combine Safari and World Cup in 2026
The key to combining safari and World Cup in 2026 is choosing the right Nairobi base. Karen Plains Hotel is the right choice because it covers both elements from one location:
- World Cup at Moss Oasis — all major matches screened live, June 11 to July 19
- Nairobi National Park — game drive 10 minutes from the hotel
- Wilson Airport — 10 minutes away for Masai Mara flights
- Masai Mara packages — arranged directly from the hotel
