Kenya Wildlife Safaris
Big skies, big cats and the wildebeest migration: classic Kenya safaris, with beach days if you want them.
Kenya wrote the modern idea of the safari: wide open savannah, the Masai Mara's big cats and, for a few months each year, the thunder of the wildebeest migration. It is also easy to reach, with good flights, a range of lodges and a choice of other parks such as Amboseli, with its elephants beneath Mount Kilimanjaro.
Our Kenya trips can run alone or link to Uganda and Tanzania in one journey. We plan the route, the lodges and the flights so that you only deal with one plan.
