Kenya
Kenya gave the word 'safari’ to the world, with its connotations of romance, adventure and wide-open spaces. Since the first safari companies began offering exclusive luxury travel in the early part of the last century, generations of travellers have come seeking to recreate the thrill of taking off into the bush.
BREATHTAKING MOMENTS
A visit here will offer you moments that take your breath away. It has often been said that the light in Kenya is of a particularly fine and delicate variety, and almost everywhere you go will this be borne out, whether it’s the endless grassy plains, the highlands or the dry, barren north. No matter where you travel in Kenya, this quality will surface, lending just that little extra thrill to your safari.
SUBTLE REWARDS
Along with the rewards of the traditional game-viewing safari, Kenya is very much a contemporary destination, and is rich in alternative and experiential travel opportunities. Despite her popularity with visitors, there is much about Kenya still waiting to be discovered by those willing to scratch the surface and go a little deeper…
