Discover an ancient and wild Kenya as you explore the cultures, landscapes and wildlife of this remarkable country.

This trip is for one for the explorers, photographers, nature-lovers, culture vultures, and intrepid families. You’ll need to pack light to travel in the small planes flying across Kenya and, back on terra firma, there’s a chance to walk, drive or ride.

After a quick taste of bustling, chaotic Nairobi, take a light aircraft to reach the northern slopes of Mt Kenya and the Lewa-Borana Conservancy. A haven for wildlife, including some of the rarest species in East Africa, the reserve is committed to local collaboration, conservation and regeneration. Traveling further north, you’ll be under the broad skies of Samburuland and the Mara for some of the finest game watching in the world, and a chance to see the spectacular Great Migration.
