How to choose
Building the right region mix
Most exceptional safaris combine two or three contrasting regions. The Masai Mara delivers predators and the Great Migration; Laikipia and Lewa offer private, low-density wilderness; Amboseli and Tsavo bring elephants and big skies; Samburu the wild north; and the coast closes the journey on the Indian Ocean.
We match the mix to your dates, interests and pace — and link each region by bush flight so the transitions are part of the adventure.
- Mara — big cats and the Great Migration
- Laikipia, Lewa & Ol Pejeta — private conservancies and rhino
- Amboseli & Tsavo — elephants and dramatic landscapes
- Samburu — the arid, photogenic north
- Diani & Watamu — barefoot luxury on the coast
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know
Which Kenya safari destination is best for first-timers?
The Masai Mara is the classic first safari, often combined with Laikipia or Amboseli. We advise on the best mix for your dates and interests.
How do we travel between destinations?
Most luxury itineraries use scheduled or private bush flights between regions, keeping travel time short and maximising time in the wild.
Can we add the beach to a safari?
Yes. Diani and Watamu are our most requested coastal destinations, with Zanzibar a popular alternative.
How many regions should we visit?
Two or three regions for a week to ten days, and three or four for a longer trip, is usually ideal. We tailor this to your pace.
