Michael and Carys from London travelled on safari around Kenya
Dear Rob, that was the most spectacularly good holiday, and you will not be surprised to learn that after a sceptical start – in your office – I fell in love with Kenya and Kenyans. Thank you for putting together such a great programme for us. All those camps were nothing short of excellent and we were very grateful to you for all the advice which you provided so rapidly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your company to anyone who enquired. Thank for you one of the best holidays we have ever had!

Straddling the equator at 5199m, Mount Kenya is the second highest mountain in Africa, and offers a much more picturesque climb than more famous Kilimanjaro. Trekkers head for Point Lenana, the third highest peak at 5100m (the highest peaks require technical climbing), up a number of routes on treks lasting between 4 and 7 days, with additional nights either side. The lower slopes are densely forested and home to wide range of wildlife.
Trout fishing is possible on the mountain, whilst for those interested in a closer look without the hardships of trekking, scenic helicopter flights can be arranged.
Other regions to see wildlife include Nairobi National Park (and the Daphne Sheldrick elephant orphanage) on the outskirts of the city, the Kakamega Forest (a key area for anyone keen on birdlife or butterflies), Mount Elgon, Shimba Hills and some areas around Lake Victoria.
