BESPOKE SAFARI

Expert-led safaris at your own pace

Your accommodation, transfers and activities, all arranged. We handle every detail, so your safari is simply yours to enjoy.

FROM DAWN TO DARK

A Safari of your Own

Everyone hopes to see a lion. We understand. But Kenya has more to offer: in its remote regions, far from the busiest parks, live animals such as Grévy's zebra and the gerenuk. Each has a story to tell, and your guide will help you read it.

The day begins at five, when predators may still be on the move. As the first light reaches the plains, we find a quiet spot away from other vehicles, and if something is worth watching, we stay. Part of the experience is taking time to observe an animal’s behaviour, notice the details that make it distinctive and ask every question that comes to mind.

Evenings bring another kind of energy: a sundowner with the horizon in front of you, a lion calling in the distance, the sharp alarm call of a dik-dik close by. In some conservancies the night is yours too. Wrapped up against the cold, you hear the landscape more clearly than you see it, searching the torchlight for the glint of eyes at a respectful distance while the animals carry on with their night.

If something stirs while you sleep, we can wake you: a lion on the hunt, hyenas gathered nearby. The bush keeps its own hours.

THE BENEFIT OF A PRIVATE GUIDE

Travel with a
private guide

With a guide at your side, the day follows your curiosity: you linger where something fascinates you and move on when you are ready. Their knowledge connects the places you visit and the sightings you share, turning separate moments into a deeper understanding of the landscape.

Your guide gets to know your interests, shapes the days with you and recognises when something unexpected is worth changing the plan for.

Night wake up (optional)

The bush doesn’t sleep. If the night comes alive, we’ll wake you to witness it.

CONSERVATION

Access to private conservation areas

We also have access to private conservancies, so if you’re willing to leave the campfire and wrap up warm, we can take you out to discover how the bush changes after dark. Our eyes are no match for those of the animals around us. The game is to catch the glint of eyes in the torchlight and work out what’s out there quietly, without disturbing it.

WILDLIFE

Explore wildlife off the beaten track

Leave the most popular routes behind and discover Kenya’s wildlife in quiet places.

Across open plains, hidden valleys and remote conservancies, we take you where the only crowd is a herd of elephants. Moments unfold slowly: you settle into the landscape, follow the tracks and watch each animal go about its day.
