Kenya

  • Hi Frances, we had the most amazing trip and it by far outdid our expectations so thank you so much for organising everything so well. It was great not to have to worry about any of the logistics in getting there and back. The safari was really unbelievable, we saw so much which I never expected – lots of different prides of Lions, Lions mating, Hippos mating, a Hippo started to charge the vehicle, cheetahs, hyenas, carcasses, baby elephants, giraffes, zebras to name a few!! Ol Seki itself was fabulous, I especially loved the hot chocolate wake up call before the game drive. Debbie was so lovely and looked after us so well. It really was the trip of a lifetime so thank you so so much again for recommending it, we would have ended up somewhere very different and not a patch on Ol Seki if we hadn’t come to you.

Introduction

Introduction to the spectacular and diverse country of Kenya

From rugged hills and montane forests to endless savannah plains, Kenya offers incredible physical diversity. The scenery is breath-taking and the wildlife viewing is some of the finest available in the world, with the Masai Mara leading an impressive list of great safari areas. Walking safaris, horse riding safaris and mountain trekking will appeal to the more adventurous, and cultural interaction with the charismatic Maasai or Samburu is highly likely on any safari. For those looking for relaxation, the glistening white sands of the Indian Ocean coastline beckon.

Kenya’s safari history goes back to the early 1900’s and its fine tradition of personal guiding and warm hospitality still exists today. While a few wildlife parks have become commercially busy, it is a mistake to assume that exclusive safari regions, remote wilderness areas and intimate safari properties do not exist. Kenya caters for the experienced enthusiast just as easily as the first-time visitor.

Easy to reach from Europe and with a varied and well-organised internal tourism infrastructure, Kenya safaris deliver good value for money compared to other comparable destinations. In particular, Kenya offers some of the most cost effective ‘safari and beach’ combinations. Whether budget is important to you or not, this ability to easily combine incredible game-viewing with beautiful beaches has always made Kenya a wonderful family holiday or honeymoon destination.

So whether you’re looking for a specialist wildlife experience, a ‘bush & beach’ special celebration holiday, or perhaps a wonderful African adventure as a family, Kenya is the perfect destination to consider.
