Traditional Vehicle Safaris
For many years Kenya has perfected the minibus or Land Rover safari. Africa Exclusive only arranges private vehicle safaris where you have sole use of the vehicle and a guide who is guaranteed to be highly expert and a good companion. You can explore the country, passing through breathtaking scenery and using your vehicle for game drives as well.
This type of safari can be good for families whose children are more suited to vehicle safaris than to walking and canoeing. Vehicle safaris of this kind would usually be seven to ten days exploring three different parts of the country and often conclude with a week or so by the sun drenched coastline where we can arrange for you to stay in whatever size or shape hotel that suits you best.
Fly-in safaris
In recent years some superb small safari lodges and camps have opened in remote and beautiful areas, accessible by light aircraft. These include Elsa's Kopje, the only safari lodge in the entire Meru National Park set on a huge granite outcrop, each thatched cottage having spectacular views for a dozen miles across virgin territory. Shompole is perched on the edge of the Rift Valley near Lake Natron where vast flocks of flamingos come to breed and where you can walk with scarlet clad Masai tracking wildlife through rich rainforest.
There are idyllic matching luxury hideaways on Kenya's coast such as Kiwayu which lies seventy miles north of Lamu on mile after mile of deserted beach, or Funzi Keys which has its own private island.
We recommend you visit Kenya at any time of the year other than April and May when the long rains fall.
Why choose Kenya?
Kenya has some of Africa's most spectacular scenery with volcanoes, lakes, immense grassy plains and a beautiful coastline. If you go between July and September you can see the world's greatest wildlife migration in the Masai Mara. It is somewhere you can meet local Maasai and other tribes if you wish. You can choose the traditional vehicle-based route or the more remote and adventurous fly-in route.
