With its heady mix of natural beauty, vibrant cultures, Big Five wildlife reserves, extensive Indian Ocean coastline and the famed wildebeest migration, Kenya has long been a popular destination for those looking for wildlife and adventure.
Rather than follow the herd (quite literally), our approach is a little different. We choose small, distinctive properties that offer exceptional wildlife experiences whilst avoiding the main tourist routes wherever possible. Above all, our chosen lodges and camps exhibit a strong conservation and sustainability ethos.
Such an ethos might involve supporting reserves where each visit directly benefits the community; private concessions that actively rewild and enrich the local area; projects that avoid human-animal conflicts; the funding of anti-poaching patrols; sponsorship for young people to pursue wildlife conservation careers; sustainable micro-businesses; and those projects which directly protect very rare species such as black rhino and the worlds’ last two surviving northern white rhino.
Kenya’s landscape is particularly awe-inspiring. The snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya give way to the turquoise waters of Lakes Nakuru and Naivasha. The Great Rift Valley affords stunning vistas, while coastal regions boast pristine beaches and good snorkelling and scuba diving.
As a home to some of Africa’s best known wildlife regions – including the Maasai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo – Kenya is simply wild East Africa at its very best.
