Savannah, Shores and Sunsets

An Intimate Adventure Across Kenya

ENQUIRE NOW

Summary of the Trip

This journey centres on intimate, private places that protect nature and your sense of space. Each stay honours the land through conservation-led practices: from community wildlife efforts in Laikipia to low-impact mobile camps in the Mara and coastal retreats preserving Lamu’s fragile ecosystem. It’s deeply personal, thoughtful travel committed to leaving these landscapes better than we found them.

The Experience

From wild highlands to turquoise seas, this journey reveals Kenya’s soul. Explore Laikipia’s remote bush camps, wildlife corridors, and adventurous walks and rides. Continue to the Maasai Mara for dawn and dusk game drives across iconic savannahs. End on Lamu’s tranquil shores, where slow days, ocean swims, and soft sands capture Kenya’s timeless magic.
