Kenya – Tours
Tours in Kenya
From the snow-capped peaks of glacial Mount Kenya and infinite stretches of lush savannahs, to the undulating green hills of Kericho and angelic white beaches of Mombasa and its coastline – the sheer diversity in Kenya’s landscapes is truly astonishing.
With picture-perfect panoramas almost everywhere you turn, it can be hard to know where to begin. Embarking on our Treasures of Kenya tour, you’ll first journey through Samburu National Reserve – home to a plethora of rare and exotic creatures, including the iconic Big Five, hippos, Tanzanian cheetah and impala. In addition, you’ll also spot the rare ‘Samburu Special Five’, which includes the Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, beisa oryx and gerenuk antelope. Experience these fascinating creatures as part of a thrilling 4x4 game drive, before witnessing the annual wildebeest migration to the Masai Mara. Occurring between July and October, this breath-taking display of nature often provides the opportunity to see Kenya’s predators in action – whether it be the prowling lions in the tall grasses, or the calculating crocodiles, lying in wait in the shallows as wildebeest cross the treacherous Mara River in search of greener pastures.
Marvelling at grazing rhinos and throngs of pink flamingos, our eight-day Kenya Horizons tour combines the incredibly varied landscapes of Lake Nakura National Park and its lush yellow acacia forests, waterfalls, grassy savannahs, and towering rock faces, with the bustling capital of Nairobi. The cultural heart of Kenya, Nairobi’s vibrant nightlife, exquisite restaurants and fascinating museums give you the opportunity to delve deep into the history of this beautiful country.
