A Journey Through Iconic Landscapes

The Kenyan safari is a timeless and essential experience, a journey into landscapes of breathtaking scale and life-affirming encounters.

• • The Great Theatre of the Mara: The Masai Mara Reserve is the stage for one of the planet’s most dramatic natural events: the Great Migration. But beyond this seasonal spectacle, it is a year-round haven of rolling grasslands and abundant wildlife. Here, we arrange for you to stay in exclusive private conservancies bordering the main reserve. This offers a more intimate experience—game drives that leave the crowds behind, walking safaris with Maasai guides who know this land intimately, and nights spent under a vast, star-filled sky.

• • The Land of Giants: In Amboseli National Park, some of Africa’s largest elephants roam freely against the backdrop of the world’s tallest free-standing mountain, Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro. The opportunity to photograph these gentle giants with the snow-capped peak in the distance is one of the most powerful and sought-after images in travel.

The Whispers of the Swahili Coast

Complementing the drama of the safari is the soulful tranquillity of the coast. This is where your journey connects to the broader story of the Indian Ocean.

• • The Island of Timelessness: The island of Lamu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the heart of Swahili culture. Here, time seems to have stood still. There are no cars, only the quiet padding of donkeys through the narrow, labyrinthine alleys of its ancient stone town. Life is lived in rhythm with the call to prayer and the sailing of traditional wooden dhows.

• • A Voyage on the Trade Winds: The definitive coastal experience is to set sail on a private dhow. We can arrange for you to glide through the mangrove channels of the Lamu archipelago, stopping to explore deserted beaches and swim in turquoise waters. It is a journey back in time, a slow, contemplative experience that connects you to the centuries of maritime history that shaped this coast.

From Tented Camp to Coastal Villa

Your accommodation in Kenya is a core part of the narrative. In the bush, we favour intimate, eco-conscious tented camps that offer a seamless connection to the wilderness without sacrificing comfort. Imagine waking to the sounds of the savanna, enjoying a meal cooked over the fire, and knowing you are leaving a minimal footprint. On the coast, your sanctuary might be a breezy, private villa with Swahili-inspired architecture, offering shaded courtyards, rooftop terraces for stargazing, and direct access to the sea.

Craft Your Kenyan Story

Kenya offers a rare duality—a journey that can encompass both the heart-pounding thrill of a lion hunt and the profound peace of watching a dhow sail at sunset. Allow us to craft an itinerary that weaves these two essential narratives into one unforgettable story.
