Mara, mountains & Indian Ocean
Tailor-made Kenya tours
Combine the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Mount Kenya, Samburu and the Swahili coast, with memorable views of Mount Kilimanjaro from southern Kenya.
Why travel here
Discover Kenya
Kenya offers a broad journey through savannah, highlands, arid northern landscapes and the Indian Ocean coast. The Maasai Mara is known for abundant wildlife throughout the year and for the seasonal arrival of migrating wildebeest from the Serengeti ecosystem.
Amboseli combines elephant country with famous views across the border to Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Samburu offers drier landscapes and distinctive wildlife, while Mount Kenya and the Great Rift Valley add mountain scenery, lakes and walking opportunities.
A Kenyan journey can finish on the Swahili coast around Diani, Mombasa or Lamu. We arrange the right blend of camps, lodges, guides and connections, allowing enough time for each region rather than turning the holiday into a checklist.
