Karibu Kenya,Where Safari Was Born
Big cats, bigger skies and hosts who will feed you until you cannot move. Welcome home.
Big cats, bigger skies and hosts who will feed you until you cannot move. Welcome home.
The word safari is Swahili for journey, and Kenya has been taking people on them for a very long time. Here the Maasai Mara delivers the wildebeest, Amboseli frames elephants against Kilimanjaro, Samburu hides animals you will not see anywhere else and Laikipia lets you walk among them.
We live here, we were raised here, and we plan every trip like we are hosting our own family. Which, by the end, you will be.
01The big one. Lions on the morning shift, a river crossing that stops your breath and Maasai guides who can spot a leopard from three hills away. Come for the migration, stay because nothing else is quite this good.
02Giant tuskers wading through swamp with Africa’s tallest mountain looming behind them. Amboseli is flat, open and a gift to photographers, and the sundowners are frankly unfair.
03Dry, dramatic and home to animals you will not find in the south, including the Samburu Special Five. Add warm Samburu hosts, a riverside camp and the feeling you have found Kenya’s best-kept secret.
04Fewer vehicles, more freedom. Walk with a guide, track on horseback, go out after dark and sleep somewhere that feels like it belongs only to you.
From the savannah to the sea. Tap any place for photos, itineraries and when to go.
There is no wrong time, only different Kenyas. Here is a simple guide to what each month offers.
Weather patterns shift from year to year, so ask us about the dates you have in mind.
Sample itineraries to get you started. Every one is private, and every one gets reshaped around you.

8 DaysQuiet conservancies and rare northern wildlife first, then the Mara for the finale. Fewer crowds, more stories.

9 DaysDawn with lions, dusk with a sundowner by the Indian Ocean. Unpack once on the coast and do absolutely nothing.
Ask About This Safari →Kenya works all year. The dry months of June to October (and January to February) give the easiest wildlife viewing, and July to October is the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara. The green months of April, May and November are quieter and better value.
Most guests are happiest with 7 to 10 days. That is enough for the Maasai Mara plus one or two other places without rushing. We are happy to plan shorter or longer.
Yes, and many guests do. Kenya and Tanzania pair naturally around the Mara and Serengeti, and Kenya with Uganda gives you gorillas as well. We plan the whole journey as one private trip.
It is a brilliant place to begin. Getting around is simple, the variety is huge and our team is based in Nairobi, so someone who knows the country is always a phone call away.
That is our favourite kind of trip. Honeymoon, family, photography, birdwatching, culture or all of them at once: tell us the feeling you want and we shape the days around it.
Kenya is the original home of safari. Our Kenya safaris cover the Maasai Mara and the Great Migration, Amboseli with Kilimanjaro views, Samburu, Laikipia, Tsavo and Lake Nakuru, with beach extensions in Diani, Watamu and Lamu. Every Kenya safari is tailor-made, with handpicked camps and expert guides.
