Kenya Safari Holidays

Kenya – Trooping with Baboons

Walk with a troop of 90-strong habituated olive baboons, the largest primates on the Savannah, accompanied by a specialist guide who knows each baboon by name. Learn about their behaviour as you walk through the bush near Shompole Wilderness Camp. A thrilling family experience.

Disconnect and Reconnect

After an active few days on the safari circuit, retreat to Kinondo Kwetu set between the sugar-white sanded Galu Beach and the sacred Kaya forest. With no TV’s or Wi-Fi in the thatched-roofed cottages, families can reconnect without the interference of technology.

Sail the Lamu Archipelago on NaiSabah Dhow

From the privacy of your own traditional Dhow, sail the pristine waters and mangrove waterways of the Lamu archipelago. Snorkel in secluded coves and spend quality family time enjoying beach picnics, nature walks and Swahili cultural experiences.

The Samburu Warriors and The Special Five

Share stories with the Samburu Warriors on a walking safari through the Kalama Conservancy as you look out for the Samburu Special Five: gerenuk, the reticulated giraffe, the Grevy’s zebra, the Somali ostrich and the beisa oryx.

Beyond the Game

In between heart-pounding game viewing, go tubing down the croc-free Ewaso Ngiro River in the Great Rift Valley, traverse the treetops on a canopy walk above the Ngare Ndare Forest, canoe on a waterhole in front of camp, or cycle across the expansive OI Pejeta Plains.

Walk with a Baboon Researcher

Walk with a troop of 90-strong habituated olive baboons, the largest primates on the Savannah, accompanied by a specialist guide who knows each baboon by name. Learn about their behaviour as you walk through the bush near Shompole Wilderness Camp. A thrilling family experience.

Moonlit Game Drive

Shuffle the deck and see which card nature plays on a night game drive in a private conservancy. Eagle-eyed guides use night vision cameras and night torches to find a whole new cast of creatures, from aardvarks, bat-eared foxes and galagos, to honey badgers, leopards and hyenas.

Mara Elephant Project

Join Mark Goss, the CEO of the Mara Elephant Project, on an aerial reconnaissance mission to track the collared elephants, enjoy the view of the Mara from above and support the work of the project.

Our own private villa surrounded by a cacti perimeter and monkeys on the balcony, surprise safari picnics in the bush, herds of elephants, views of Mount Kenya and reading Hemingways’s letters, all at the remote 20,000-hectare game reserve of Segera Retreat.

Balloon flight in Masai Mara National Park

I took to the skies – floating above one of Africa’s wilderness area the Masai Mara National Park. Experiencing the quiet sounds of this incredible wilderness with soft calls of birds and gazing down upon a vast herd of wildebeests, elephants and zebras moving across the open plains.
