The Ultimate Kenyan Safari

Move through the sanctuary with guides who read the land instinctively, following wildlife movement and teaching you about its fascinating ecosystems. They’ll use their expertise to help you spot elephants, lions, cheetahs and over 400 birds species across the park’s saltpans and woodlands. You’ll explore at an unhurried pace, with time to watch behaviour, track changing conditions and stay with sightings as long as they hold interest.

Head out with an experienced guide and Askari guard to explore the Kimana Sanctuary through a walking safari. Moving on foot, you’ll have the advantage of being able to observe smaller, on the ground details that would normally be overlooked. Track animal paths, learn about wildlife such as antlions and dung beetles, and observe giraffes, zebras and eland as they graze. Walks will be tailored to your pace, whether short and relaxed or extended for more exploration.

Get involved with the Big Life Foundation, which works to conserve wildlife in the Amboseli ecosystem by preventing poaching, protecting habitats and reducing human-wildlife conflicts. You’ll have the chance to participate in activities that highlight anti-poaching efforts and wildlife monitoring while learning more about the impact of the foundation’s work.

Maasai culture has a strong presence throughout Kenya, and you’ll be invited to a Maasai village to learn about their traditions and daily life. Cattle herding is central to their nomadic lifestyle. Discover its significance in cultural identity, wealth and status, as well as its role in basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter.

Enjoy an intimate private picnic on the kopje featured on the poster for the Oscar-winning film, Out of Africa. Your lodge’s team will assemble a comfortable set up of checked blankets, cushions and safari chairs ready for you to enjoy a delicious picnic and sparkling wine in an elegant and romantic setting.

Your expert guides will take you on both morning and evening game drives to spot the animals and wildlife at their most active. They’ll track game and navigate to the best areas for sightings, giving you the best chance of seeing black rhinos, African wild dogs, reticulated giraffes and the Big Five.

Laikipia is an excellent destination for walking safaris due to its density of wildlife and low visitor numbers. Your experienced guide will take you out on foot to track game, including black rhinos, showing you how to spot tracks and observe smaller species as you go. Explore the varied terrain, navigating acacia-studded plains, wooded valleys and rocky hills, learning about the topography from your guide.

Take an unforgettable helicopter trip over the stunning waters of Lake Turkana. Located in the Great Rift Valley, it’s the world’s largest permanent desert lake, and the green hue of its alkaline waters has earned the nickname ‘Jade Sea.’ From your vantage point in the skies, you’ll be able to truly appreciate its magnitude and its beauty as you learn more about its fascinating qualities.
