Creating your safari

We can provide you with a set menu of various safari options based on price or you can work with us to design your own bespoke experience. We do not advertise our routes, guides or accommodation choices but will, of course, give you a clear idea of what to expect when you book your adventure. Our goal is that no other operators will impinge on your individualized agenda. While we do offer a Masai Mara experience, what with the queues of safari vans spotting wildlife and the general busyness there, we prefer to focus our guests on a quieter, wilder, and less touristry part of the country.

For folks who wish it, we can arrange more adventuresome safaris. Trekking on Mt Kenya (including summiting if you wish). Mountain biking, either day trips or multi day excursions. Camel safaris. Walking safaris. Fly fishing on Mt Kenya or in Aberdares N.P. Helicopter excursions. Deep sea fishing in the Indian Ocean.

We can also arrange excursions to beach resorts on the Indian Ocean coast or to the old city of Mombasa.
