The feeling of exclusivity makes Saruni Samburu the perfect start to a wonderful safari. Perched on top of a hill in the totally unspoilt environment of Kalama Wildlife Conservency, it is close to the northern border of SAMBURU NATIONAL RESERVE. Professional Samburu guides will lead you to find species of game not found further south including Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, oryx and gerunuk - the amusing long-necked antelope.

Next you will fly to the LAIKIPIA PLATEAU where Colin and Rocky Francombe will welcome you to their beautiful home, Ol Malo, with its vast views of Africa. A waterhole just below the lodge attracts a variety of animals.

Game drives, walks, horse and camel treks and Samburu cultural visits are on offer. The Laikipia District is in the forefront of wildlife conservation and boasts the second largest elephant population in Kenya and has several rhino sanctuaries.

Fly on into the heart of the MAASAI MARA GAME RESERVE where your base will be Rekero, a luxury camp with accommodation in spacious safari tents overlooking the river. The Maasai guides are not only knowledgable but also fascinating when describing their warrior culture and the conflict between their traditions and modern Kenya.

The camp is perfectly located for experiencing the annual spectacle of the migration of wildebeest, zebra and gazelles as they plunge across the crocodile infested river.

The combination of culture, white sand and azure sea to be found on the Swahili coast provides the perfect location in which to ‘chill’ after your time in the African bush.

Kiwayu is a very special destination set on miles of deserted beach. The bandas are constructed of traditional palm thatch with woven matting under foot and the main lodge has sand floors and cushions to recline upon. The freshest of seafood is served in countless delicious ways. As well as relaxing in your hammock or on the soft sand, the more active can wind-surf, water-ski, snorkel, laser-sail and take a foot safari over the dunes into the bush in search of game coming to a waterhole. Deep sea fishing, day trips to Lamu and dolphin safaris are all options and a romantic picnic lunch on a beach in a private bay is a perfect finale.

and what about?
	Far south of Mombasa, set on a cliff above a quiet and unspoilt stretch of coast backed by palm trees, is the delightful, family owned and run Msambweni House. In addition to the main house and a large infinity pool, there are two separate villas each with its own pool and jacuzzi overlooking the sea and a private cook and waiter on hand. The kitchen staff have been trained by a Belgian chef and you will be tempted by seafood, Swahili dishes and both French and Belgian cuisine.
