KENYA
All safaris are tailored to personal preferences, contact us to discuss your travel needs.
Kenya is the heart of the classic African safari. Vast open plains, golden sunsets, and a ton of wildlife make it an unforgettable destination. But what makes it even more special is the water that shapes its landscapes.
The Mara River
The Mara River, running through the Masai Mara, is famous for the Great Migration. Every year, thousands of wildebeest and zebras make a dangerous crossing, braving big predators, crocodiles and strong currents. Staying near the river gives you a front-row seat to one of nature’s greatest spectacles.
The Samburu River
Further north, the Samburu River is the lifeline of Samburu National Park, attracting elephants, leopards, and the rare Grevy’s zebra.
The Rift Valley
In the Rift Valley, Kenya’s lakes are just as captivating. Lake Nakuru is a sanctuary for rhinos and home to thousands of flamingos, while Lake Naivasha and Lake Elementaita offers boat safaris among hippos and stunning birdlife.
The Swahili Culture
After days in the savanna, the Kenyan coast offers the perfect place to unwind. The Swahili towns of Lamu, Watamu, Malindi, and Mombasa brings a mix of history, intriguing culture, white-sand beaches, and delicious seafood. The ruins of Gedi, an ancient Swahili city hidden in the forest, add a touch of mystery to your coastal escape. If you still crave wildlife, Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks, near the coast, are home to red-dusted elephants and dramatic landscapes.
The Maasai People
No trip to Kenya is complete without encountering the Maasai people, known for their rich culture and deep connection to nature. With their vibrant red shukas, intricate beadwork, and traditional warrior dances, the Maasai have preserved their customs for generations. Visiting a Maasai village offers insight into their way of life, from cattle herding to their spiritual beliefs tied to the land and wildlife.
