About Kenya


Few places provide the extraordinary opportunity to view wildlife in its natural habitat as Kenya. East Africa’s reputation as the quintessential safari destination is well deserved. This is a region of dramatic contrasts and extraordinary wildlife on display in uncrowded and pristine landscapes of great beauty and variety. It’s hard to rival the range of travel choices a Kenya safari offers, from scenic tours to cultural immersion, lounging on pristine beaches to adventure travel, and a broad range of sporting activities to an endless list of special interest opportunities.

Indeed the very word safari was invented in Kenya, where in Kiswahili it means “journey.” The boundless wilderness and big game of this region has long attracted adventure seekers from all over the globe. Few countries even come close to the range of landscapes, unique geographical features and amazing species that you’ll find in Kenya.

This great range of natural habitats means that there is plenty to explore, and plenty of species to encounter in our variety of safari packages. This is a land of endless potential for the wildlife enthusiast. From the great migratory herds of the open savannah to an incredible abundance of bird life, and the remoteness of a tropical rainforest to the depths of the Indian Ocean teeming with schools of fish, this is indeed a world of natural wonders.

A safari into the wilds of Kenya is a journey into nature at its purest. Everywhere you look there is a profusion of life.
