The Journey

Why You Will Love This One

Two nights in Laikipia, three in the Mara and a lot of space between you and the next guest. Private guides, private vehicles and camps that never feel crowded.

Champagne sundowners, a bed softer than your own and a lion roaring somewhere beyond the candle.

Everything is a starting point. Add a night where you fall in love, swap a camp or bolt on a beach, and we will shape it around you.

  • Private Bush Dinner with your private guide
  • Walking Safaris in Laikipia
  • Maasai Culture at Maasai Mara
  • 5 nights across 2 stops

Ask Us Anything
Getting There

Fly into Nairobi (Jomo Kenyatta) and we meet you at arrivals. Please arrive the day before your safari if you can, so a late flight never costs you a game drive.

Baggage

Light aircraft take soft bags only, with a limit of 15 kg per person including camera gear and hand luggage. We store spare bags safely.

What To Pack

Neutral layers, a warm fleece for early drives, a sun hat, sunglasses and good binoculars. Evenings are cool and days are warm.

Health And Safety

A yellow fever certificate may be needed if you come from a risk country. Ask your doctor about malaria cover. Our guides carry first-aid kits and radios.

Visas And Entry

Most visitors need a Kenya eTA, applied for online before travel. We guide you through it. Your passport needs six months of validity and spare pages.

Tipping

Tips are a kind way to say thanks. A guide is about $15 per person per day, with a shared tip for camp staff at each camp.
