The Heartbeat of Safari

“Kenya stirs something deep. The stillness at sunrise, the warmth of the people, the way the land feels ancient beneath your feet—it all stays with you long after you’ve gone.”

The Heartbeat of Safari

Unforgettable Safaris with Purpose

There’s something about Kenya that invites you in. It’s not just the landscapes or the wildlife—it’s the rhythm of daily life, the hospitality that feels like home, and the chance to feel small beneath endless skies. Kenya is where the classic safari was born, and where it continues to evolve—rooted in tradition, yet open to discovery.

From the remote reaches of the northern frontier to the rich plains of the Mara, from family-run lodges to mobile camps under the stars, Kenya offers depth, diversity, and a kind of magic you can’t quite explain. You simply feel it.

What we Love Most

  • Year-Round Wildlife Encounter

    Whether you're in the private conservancies of the Mara or the wild expanses of Laikipia, Kenya delivers exceptional game viewing any time of year.

  • Remote Immersion in the North

    Walk with Samburu guides, ride camels across dry riverbeds, and fall asleep to the sounds of the bush far from the crowds.

  • Private Safari Freedom

    From exclusive-use homes to fly camps built just for you, Kenya is the ultimate destination for bespoke, off-the-map adventure.

  • Helicopter Excursions Over the North

    Soar over flamingo-lined lakes, lava flows, or untouched mountain ridges. Scenic flights in northern Kenya offer access to places few ever see—and the perspective is unforgettable.

  • A Coastline with Soul

    White sand beaches, ancient Swahili towns, and timeless rhythms—Kenya’s coast is a beautiful balance to time on safari.

  • The classic safari. Big cats, big skies, and the migration in full swing. We prefer private conservancies like Mara North or Naboisho for intimate experiences.

  • A wilder, more personal safari. Walk, ride horses, track rhinos. Stay in places where conservation and culture are deeply linked.

  • Unique wildlife, dramatic landscapes, and vibrant Samburu communities. Raw and beautiful.

  • A place to exhale. Meander through car-free alleyways, sail at sunset on a dhow, and feel time slow along the Swahili coast.

  • Remote and cinematic. Lava fields, green hills, and almost no other travelers in sight.

Kenya is a country that welcomes you in and stays with you. Its magic lies in its range—in the quiet connection of a walking safari, the surprise of a leopard in the golden light, the serenity of tea fields or empty coastline, and the friendships formed around a fire. Whether you come for the wildlife, the landscapes, the stories, or the stillness—Kenya always gives you more than you expected.

Your itinerary

We try to never curate the same itinerary twice, but below are just some of the itineraries we have curated in the past.

Pairs well with:

Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Zanzibar

  • Kenya is a year-round safari destination, with peak game viewing from July to October when the Mara conservancies are at their busiest. But each season has its own charm—green season (November to early March) brings vibrant landscapes, fewer crowds, and great predator action. Even April and May, typically the wettest months, can be magical in the right place.

  • Expect warm days and cool nights. The long dry season (June to October) offers crisp mornings and little rainfall. November and April bring the most showers, often as brief afternoon storms. The coast stays tropical and humid year-round.

  • Absolutely. Kenya is one of the best places in Africa for families, with private conservancies that allow more flexible activities and exclusive-use houses that make multi-generational travel easy. From hands-on conservation to camel rides and kid-friendly guides, there’s plenty for all ages.

  • As of 2024, Kenya has transitioned to a visa-free model for most travelers—but all visitors must apply online for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before arriving. It’s a simple process, but be sure to allow at least 3 days for processing.

  • Yellow fever vaccination is recommended (and sometimes required if arriving from a risk country). Malaria is present in most safari areas, so consult your doctor about prophylactics. We also recommend packing good mosquito repellent and staying up to date on routine vaccinations.

  • Most travelers fly between regions via Kenya’s network of small bush airstrips, which saves time and adds some scenic magic to your transfers. Road journeys are possible but can be long and bumpy—worth it if you want to take in the landscape. In private conservancies, game drives often start right from your lodge.
