Kenya
The Birthplace of Safaris
Our Private Kenya safaris invite travelers into the birthplace of the classic African safari, where the spirit of exploration was born, and the world first fell in love with wildlife adventure. As the original home of the word “safari,” Kenya has long drawn explorers, photographers, and nature lovers seeking an authentic connection to Africa’s wild landscapes. Here, sweeping savannas, acacia-dotted plains, and dramatic escarpments set the stage for legendary wildlife encounters—from the thunder of the Great Migration in the Masai Mara to year-round sightings of lions, elephants, cheetahs, and rhinos in renowned national parks and private conservancies.
People travel to Kenya for safari not only for its extraordinary game viewing, but for the depth of experience it offers—expert guiding, rich Maasai culture, and an unrivaled sense of space and freedom. Kenya pioneered conservation-focused safari travel, blending wildlife protection with luxurious camps and lodges that place guests in the heart of nature without sacrificing comfort. Whether soaring over the plains in a hot air balloon at sunrise, tracking predators on a private game drive, or ending the day with sundowners overlooking the savannah, a Kenya safari delivers adventure, romance, and timeless moments that define the very essence of an African safari.
