Safaris in Kenya,crafted around you

Kenya is where the safari was invented, and it still sets the standard. In the Maasai Mara the wildebeest herds cross the river lines between July and October. In Amboseli, elephant herds walk against the full height of Kilimanjaro. In Laikipia and Samburu, private conservancies trade crowds for silence and good leopard country.

Then there is the Coast: Diani’s white sand, Watamu’s reef, Lamu’s old stone streets. A short flight from the bush, and a world apart from it.

This is our home ground. We know which camp suits a honeymoon and which suits a seven-year-old, and where to be standing at six in the evening.

Where you’ll go

The Mara. Open country and big cats. The conservancies bordering the reserve, Naboisho, Mara North and Lemek, allow night drives and walking, and cap the number of tents per acre, so a sighting is yours rather than shared with twenty vehicles.

Amboseli and Tsavo. Elephant country under the mountain. Good for a short first safari, and easy to pair with Diani.

Laikipia and Samburu. Northern Kenya: Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, riverbed sundowners, and camps run in partnership with the communities that own the land.

The Coast. Watamu for the reef and Mida Creek, Diani for the sand, Lamu for the stone town and the dhows. Bush first, then beach. It is the itinerary we recommend most often.

Practical notes

Draft: awaiting owner verification. The notes below are indicative and confirmed in writing with your quote; nothing here is a booking commitment.

• The Mara river crossings are usually a July-to-October event; the green months from November are quieter and better value.
• Bush-to-beach connections go by light aircraft. We book the flight as part of the itinerary rather than quoting a road transfer.
• Entry requirements and park fees change. Your travel designer confirms the current position for your passport and dates.
