Whether in Kenya for business or leisure, or a combination of the two, your fondest memories of this Country’s enchanting landscapes and its friendly people will forever be etched in your heart!

 

The Masai Mara Safari

This is one of the most looked-forward-to excursions when visiting Kenya and many of our guests will attest to it being “the experience of a lifetime”.

kenya-03

Our Masai Mara Safaris feature a unique blend of authentic yet luxurious safari adventures, unfenced borders with a number of private conservancies including Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park, offering a range of accommodation from child-friendly to romantic, diverse population of resident wild animals including Big Five (the endangered black and white rhino, leopard, elephant, buffalo & lion) plus popular species like zebra, giraffe, hyena, eland and gazelle. The Mara’s big cats are even the stars of a popular wildlife TV series and then the highlight of it all happens from July to November, one of nature’s greatest spectacular 8th natural wonder of the world, the Wildebeest Migration reaches the Mara. To reach the Mara’s fresh grazing, wildebeest make dramatic river crossings, facing enormous crocodiles to feast on the Mara plains and regain their strength before returning to Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The migration is a dramatic mass movement of almost two million wildebeest.

 

Hot Air Balloon Safari at the Masai Mara

Ballooning takes place at sunrise, which means a predawn wake up with steaming coffee and a chilly drive to the launch.

A sense of excitement ripples through you as the great balloons are slowly filled with hot air, rising up ponderously above their tethered baskets. The land below you is quiet in the peace of dawn as sunrise unfurls in bright colors on the eastern horizon.

kenya-04

As the earth warms up, wildlife starts to move – the cool of early morning is the best time of day for game viewing, and a hot air balloon gives you an especially superb view of the plains. The balloon can fly relatively low over big herds, making this one of the best ways to see the full splendor of the wild animals and majorly the Great Wildebeest Migration.

When you touch down on solid earth again, a glorious champagne brunch awaits you, prepared and served on the Savannah – the perfect end to an extraordinary and serene safari experience!

 

Helicopter Safaris

If you are looking for another uniquely thrilling aerial experience, a scenic Helicopter Safari is simply another must try. Climb aboard your very own private chopper, which will have you soaring high above skies, enjoying unparalleled ‘birds-eye-views’ of the untouched natural landscapes, terrains and wildlife below.

The most famous destinations to fly over include the ice-capped snowy peaks of Mount Kenya, the Masai Mara, numerous Conservancy Areas dotted around the country, the Lakes of the Great Rift Valley and, of course, the truly spectacular Deserts of Northern Kenya.

Guest Review: “Simply Sensational!”.

 

Guided Horseback Safari

If you’re looking for a different type of wildlife viewing opportunity, one that evokes a feeling of a pure African adventure and one that was once experienced by the great safari enthusiasts & explorers of the past – then this is truly it!

kenya-07

Jump onto your horse and ride into the wild as Ernest Hemingway once did, through the grasslands, in search of animals, unique to their environment.  From the wide-open plains of the Masai Mara, to Laikipia, Lake Naivasha, Mount Kenya, Chyulu Hills and beyond, these are just some of the prime locations for Horseback Safaris in Kenya. A truly exhilarating experience awaits!

Whale Shark Diving in Diani Beach

If you can get your head around the idea of a giant shark-like creature swimming next to you, then this is an aquatic adventure you will enjoy. Whale sharks are the largest fish in the world. They are not predatory, like other sharks, they spend most of their time cruising the open ocean, which means much of their lives remain a mystery.

kenya-11

Whale Sharks are spotted near the coast of Diani during the months of February – March and then from November – December. You can swim with the whale sharks out on the reef and dolphins are also spotted during these adventures. It is an amazing experience to interact with these gentle giants!

 

Browns Cheese Limuru

Launched in 1979 this exclusive farm prides itself in crafting only 100% natural and glorious cheese, made in the highlands of Kenya. Based in Limuru, it produces seventeen different varieties of cheese.

The Giraffe Manor Lang’ata

Giraffe Manor is an exclusive boutique hotel, owned by The Safari Collection. Often referred to as one of the most “instagrammed” properties in the world, Giraffe Manor is set on 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest in the Lang’ata suburb of Nairobi.

Giraffe Manor is one of Nairobi’s most iconic buildings. The historic manor house has extraordinary appeal, that harks back to the 1930s and the elegant long-legged giraffes have roamed its lawns since the 1970s.

kenya-14

One of the most fascinating things about Giraffe Manor is its resident herd of Rothschild’s giraffes who may visit morning and evening, poking their long necks into the windows in the hope of a treat, before retreating to their forest sanctuary.

With its stately facade, elegant interior, verdant green gardens, sunny terraces and delightful courtyards, guests often remark that it’s like walking into the film “Out of Africa”.

 

David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

One of Africa’s oldest wildlife charities and a leading conservation organization, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) embraces all measures that complement the conservation, preservation and protection of wildlife.

kenya-15
