Luxury Kenya safaris

Glass-fronted suites above a hippo-filled bend of the Mara River — a long-standing favorite for its warm Maasai-led team and front-row migration access.

A hidden Elewana camp on the Sand River styled after the golden age of safari — canvas, brass and claw-foot tubs, minutes from the southern crossing points.

On the edge of a 200-foot escarpment in Loisaba Conservancy, with views across Laikipia to Mount Kenya — floor-to-ceiling glass tents, and the famous open-air Loisaba Star Beds at its sister camp a short drive away for a night under the stars.

Sculpted into Mughwango Hill above the plains where Elsa the lioness was released — one of Kenya's most beautiful and least crowded lodges.

Suspended on the edge of the Great Rift Valley with sweeping views over the Mara plains — glass-fronted tented suites, superb guiding and the original "Out of Africa" country.

A small Great Plains camp in a private conservancy bordering the Mara — low vehicle density, night drives and walking safaris not permitted in the reserve itself.

One of the Mara’s original camps, on a forested bend of the Mara River where hippo grunt below the tents — nearly 50 years of guiding heritage in the reserve’s most game-rich corner.

Reached by boat across the Mara River — 17 tents around a busy waterhole where elephant wander through camp. Intimate, wild and wonderful for families with older children.

A family-owned lodge on the famous rhino conservancy in Laikipia — horseback rides, camel treks, open-cockpit biplane flights and conservation activities that make it one of Kenya’s best family safaris.

A working ranch on the Laikipia Plateau where kids can do everything the parks forbid — riding, fishing, river swims, walking with camels and tracking wild dog on a 24,000-acre private landscape.

An Elewana camp framed by Mount Kilimanjaro, in a private conservancy beside Amboseli — the finest base for big-tusker elephants beneath Africa’s highest peak.

A striking lodge of open-fronted villas high in the Kalama hills, overlooking a waterhole — gateway to Samburu’s special-five and authentic warrior culture.

Moroccan-inspired open tents above the Ewaso Nyiro River — pools, spa and deep community ties make this one of the north’s most characterful camps.

The famous 1930s manor where resident Rothschild’s giraffes poke their heads through the windows at breakfast — a family-favorite bookend to any Kenya safari.

The Great Migration in the Maasai Mara, with the famous Mara River crossings — Kenya's peak season.

Warm, dry and uncrowded — superb resident game viewing across the Mara, Amboseli and Samburu.

Green season — lush scenery, newborn wildlife, fewer travelers and excellent value.

Fly into Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO); light-aircraft safaris depart Wilson Airport for the Mara and beyond.

Kenya replaced visas with an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA, ~$30). Apply online at least a week before travel; approval usually arrives within 1–3 days and covers stays up to 90 days.

Anti-malarial prophylaxis is recommended; a yellow-fever certificate is required only if arriving from an endemic country.

Private, all-inclusive Kenya safaris, priced privately to your trip. Book 10–12 months ahead for peak migration season.

July to October is the best time to witness the Great Migration and the Mara River crossings in the Maasai Mara. January and February are also excellent — dry, warm and uncrowded with superb resident game viewing.

The Maasai Mara and its private conservancies are the headline; Amboseli is famous for elephants beneath Mount Kilimanjaro; Samburu offers rare northern species; and Lake Nakuru is known for rhino and flamingos.

Our private, all-inclusive Kenya safaris are fully tailor-made and priced privately to your camps, season and style — request your personal all-inclusive quote.

US citizens no longer need a visa but must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) online before travel. The eTA costs around $30, is single-entry, and should be applied for at least three days before departure.

Conservancies bordering the Maasai Mara limit vehicle numbers and permit off-road driving, night drives and walking safaris — a more exclusive, lower-impact experience with the same extraordinary wildlife.

Yes. After your safari, a short flight reaches the Indian Ocean coast — Diani, Lamu and Watamu — for a classic bush-and-beach Kenya holiday.
