- Kenya and East Africa
provides some of the most diverse and natural wildlife viewing in the
world. We offer traditional safaris under canvas with mobile camps to
enable us to get away from the main tourist trails and into unspoilt
wilderness, specializing in the Masai Mara - Kenya's premier Game
Reserve, location of the annual wildebeest migration.
The National Parks and Reserves rank among the best in Africa and the
diversity of the physiographic & vegetation gives rise to a magnificent
array of species. As well as Elephant, Black & White Rhino, Lion,
Leopard, Cheetah, Buffalo, Zebra and Giraffe there is also a huge array
of less well known but equally impressive animals, including a
remarkable variety of antelope. With over a thousand species of birds,
including ostrich, vultures and eagles, and a wide variety of water
birds such as flamingos, storks, pelicans, ibis and cormorants, Kenya is
a bird-watcher's paradise.
The best time for game viewing is in the early morning or late afternoon
and the game drives can be as long as you wish, enabling us to look for
the rarer or shyer wildlife. Some days a picnic is brought along to
enable us to explore remoter areas or stake out a waterhole, taking
lunch and a siesta under a shady tree. Walking from camp is possible in
some areas, providing a way of getting closer to nature as well as some
light exercise away from the confines of a vehicle.
Open vehicles are not suited to East African conditions so our vehicles
are equipped with roof hatches for better game viewing and enlarged side
windows. We use specially adapted 4-wheel drive Landrovers and
Landcruisers, carrying upto four clients per vehicle and extra fuel and
water supplies are carried onboard to give long-range independence.
