You pick the feeling. We build the trip.
Villas and camps we've slept in. Guides we go back to. Point at one and we handle the rest.
How we get you in
We've partnered with the people who do.
Camps, lodges, villas, Airbnbs, boats — all owned by people we've worked with for years. That gets you rooms in a full season and rates you wouldn't be quoted alone.
And we can be straight with you: which camp has the view, which BnB photographs better than it sleeps, which road takes four hours in June and seven in May.
You're not paying for a room. You're paying for someone who already knows which room.
What we actually do
You choose the trip. We'll deal with all of this.
All of it otherwise yours to chase. You hear about it once, when it's done.
Where you sleep
Villas, Airbnbs, BnBs, camps and hotels — booked direct with owners we know, chosen because they are good.
Getting between them
Your vehicle, with or without a driver. Flights where driving would waste a day.
Fees and permits
Park entry, conservancy levies, permits. Sorted before you arrive at the gate.
The people who know
Guides, trackers, dive instructors, mountain crews. The same ones, every time.
The bookings you forget
Tables, boat charters, the balloon, the orphanage slot that sells out.
Someone on the phone
One number for the whole trip. Flight moved, plan changed — you call once.
The six
Most trips are one of these, or two stitched together.
Not packages. Starting points — we build a version that fits your dates, pace and budget.
Maasai Mara · Amboseli · Tsavo · Lake Nakuru
Safari & Wildlife
The thing most people come to Kenya for, done without the guesswork.
- The migration crossing the Mara, roughly July to October
- Elephants against Kilimanjaro at Amboseli, best in the early morning
- Big cats in the Mara Triangle, which stays quieter than the main reserve
Best months
Best months: January, February, June, July, August, September, October.
Diani · Watamu · Lamu · Malindi
Coast & Islands
White sand, warm water, and a coast that is much more varied than it looks.
- Snorkelling and diving in Watamu Marine Park
- Lamu Old Town, where there are still almost no cars
- Sunset dhow out of Diani or Shela
Best months
Best months: January, February, March, July, August, September, October, November, December.
Nairobi · Karen · Westlands · Kibera
City & Culture
The city most people transit through and should really spend two days in.
- Nairobi National Park at dawn, twenty minutes from town
- The Giraffe Centre and the elephant orphanage, best booked ahead
- Karen Blixen house and the Ngong hills behind it
Best months
Best months: January, February, March, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.
Mount Kenya · Hell's Gate · Aberdares · Sagana
Adventure & Outdoors
Altitude, rock, whitewater, and craters you can walk the rim of.
- Cycling Hell's Gate, the only park in Kenya you can ride through
- Point Lenana on Mount Kenya — four days, no technical climbing
- Rafting the Tana at Sagana, grade three to five depending on rain
Best months
Best months: January, February, June, July, August, September.
Amboseli · Nairobi · Diani · Naivasha
Family & Groups
Shorter drives, more space, and a pace that does not break anyone.
- Amboseli for elephants close enough that nobody gets bored
- Naivasha as a soft first stop — two hours from Nairobi, boats and giraffe
- Beach at the end rather than the beginning, so it is a reward
Best months
Best months: January, February, June, July, August, September, October, December.
Maasai Mara · Lamu · Laikipia · Chyulu Hills
Romance & Escapes
Honeymoons, anniversaries, and the trips you take to be unreachable.
- Balloon over the Mara at dawn, landing to breakfast in the grass
- Lamu in the low season, when the town is almost yours
- Small camps in Laikipia — six tents, no vehicles but yours
Best months
Best months: January, February, June, July, August, September, October, December.
Still deciding
You don't have to know which one yet.
A rough idea and some days off is plenty. We'll come back with something specific and an honest price.
