When building an itinerary, and deciding which area to visit and for how long, we are both blessed and cursed with an incredible choice of first class destinations, all offering different but equally appealing merits. Ideally we would like you to stay with us for a couple of years, so we could introduce you to it all ? but usually have to compromise at a couple of weeks and hope that the snapshot you receive of our multi-dimensional continent will bring you back again and again.
Though we guide safaris throughout Africa, for first time visitors we recommend you stick to just one country, Kenya. International travel is expensive in a commodity often more valuable than money, time, and Kenya has more to offer a visitor than can ever be covered in just one safari.
For people who return again and again to safari with us, we start to explore further a field, venturing south to Botswana, Zambia, Namibia and South Africa. These are more specialist areas, fascinating and enthralling but with fewer facets, so we recommend these are reserved for repeat visitors to our continent.
Below are descriptions of some of our favorite areas in Kenya. We favour them because each area differs markedly in wildlife, scenery, climate and culture form the other, and often offers different ways to interact with these different faces of Kenya.

- Lake Nakuru National Park. Lake Nakuru National Park is, in our opinion at least, a totally underappreciated safari destination. It is reminiscent of the world famous Ngorongoro Crater, but spectacular crater walls aside, it totally outclasses its more famous rival... Read more
- Masai Mara. Justifiably Kenya's most famous wildlife area, the Masai Mara boasts 1,672 sq. km of unspoiled wilderness and holds the greatest and most diverse concentration of wildlife anywhere on the continent... Read more
- Kenya Coast. A wonderful addition to a safari is three or four days spent on the coast. With uninterrupted fine white sandy beaches, lined with palms on one side and the turquoise Indian Ocean on the other... Read more
- Botswana. Botswana perfectly complements Kenya, and for some we even include both countries in a grand safari of a lifetime. The Okavango Delta is one of Africa’s most unusual wildlife and wilderness areas. What makes the Okavango most remarkable is that it is a wetland paradise located within the arid Kalahari sands...Read more
