There is no doubt that Kenya provides the safari goer with one of the most rewarding African experiences. Kenya is blessed with stunning scenery, fascinating tribal peoples and quantities of wildlife that ensure excellent game viewing. Understandably, Kenya is a very popular destination and this has resulted in a reputation for mass tourism, swarms of mini-buses and a very crowded safari style.

Thankfully Kenya is also blessed with several boutique safari operators, those who pride themselves in offering a personalised, intimate and traditional safari, using small, tented camps in private game viewing concessions and in the more remote areas of the National Parks. Our Traditional Kenya Safari offers you the chance to experience all the essences of Kenya, well away from the "madding crowd" and you will be accompanied by one of Kenya's most knowledgeable and friendly safari guides - usually Tim Trench.

This safari also offers a wonderful array of safari modes in that there are day and night game drives, boating on Lake Baringo, the opportunity to horse ride and there are guided walks. Whilst in the Mara you also have the option to take a hot air balloon safari (at additional cost). The habitats explored are equally diverse and include the lush forests of Mount Kenya's foothills, the semi-arid Laikipia, the impressive bird life of the Rift Valley Lakes and the rolling savannah of the Masai Mara.

Note - The safari operates on set departures for a maximum of twelve travellers. Alternatively private safaris can be designed to suit your family or a small group. When designing a personal safari we work with you to tailor made an experience to suit your personal interests.
