Kenya is the homeland of the romantic safari. This is a land of vast, acacia-dotted savannas, iconic wildlife, and the rich, colourful culture of the Maasai people. A journey here is a journey into the wild heart of East Africa.
A luxury safari holiday in Kenya is one of life’s great adventures. It is here that the epic drama of the Maasai Mara Great Migration safari unfolds, a sight that will stay with you forever.
Our Kenya holidays are designed to place you in the heart of the action, with expert guides who know the land and its animals intimately. The quality of accommodation is exceptional, with a superb choice of five-star safari lodges in Kenya, from exclusive tented camps that offer a classic safari feel to grand lodges with spectacular views.
But there is more to Kenya than just game drives. You can visit a Maasai village to learn about ancient traditions, or relax after your adventure at a luxury resort on the white sands of Diani Beach.

To be in the Maasai Mara during the Great Migration is to witness one of the planet’s most incredible spectacles. The sheer scale is almost impossible to comprehend: hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra moving as one across the plains. With an expert guide, you can position yourself to see the drama unfold at a river crossing, a moment of intense, chaotic, and thrilling natural power. It is a humbling and unforgettable experience.
The experience of drifting silently over the Maasai Mara at sunrise is pure magic. From the basket of a hot air balloon, you have a unique, bird’s-eye perspective of the savanna coming to life. Watch as the sun crests the horizon, bathing the landscape in a soft golden light. From this vantage point, you can appreciate the vastness of the plains and spot wildlife moving below. The adventure ends with a champagne breakfast served in the middle of the bush.
A stay in a luxury tented camp is an essential part of the Kenyan safari experience. It combines the thrill of being in the wild with exceptional comfort and service. Your spacious tent might feature a four-poster bed and a private veranda overlooking the plains. In the evening, after an exhilarating game drive, you can gather around a campfire for drinks before enjoying a gourmet dinner. At night, falling asleep to the distant sounds of the bush—a lion’s roar, a hyena’s call—is an experience unlike any other.
One of Kenya’s most unique and charming experiences can be found on the outskirts of Nairobi. A stay at the famous Giraffe Manor allows you to share your breakfast with the resident herd of endangered Rothschild’s giraffes. These gentle giants are known for poking their long necks through the windows of the historic manor house in search of a morning treat. It is a delightful, surreal, and incredibly photogenic start or end to any Kenyan holiday.
In Amboseli National Park, you will find one of Africa’s most iconic and breathtaking views. The park is famous for its large herds of elephants, and the opportunity to photograph these magnificent animals against the backdrop of a snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro is extraordinary. The landscape here is different from the Mara—more open, with marshlands and acacia woodlands—offering a wonderful diversity to your safari.
A visit to a local Maasai village, arranged respectfully through your lodge, offers a fascinating insight into one of Kenya’s most famous cultures. You can spend time with the community, who are known for their vibrant red dress and intricate beadwork, and learn about their ancient traditions and deep connection to the land and its wildlife. It is a warm, welcoming, and enriching cultural experience that adds another layer to your understanding of the region.
After the dust and adventure of a safari, the Kenyan coast offers the perfect place to relax. Diani Beach is a stunning stretch of pristine white sand, lapped by the warm, turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. A stay in a luxury beachfront resort allows you to unwind completely. You can spend your days snorkelling on the coral reefs, paddleboarding in the calm sea, or simply relaxing by the pool with a cool drink.
Feel the crisp air at the top of Table Mountain as the city unfolds below. Taste a world-class wine in the beautiful Franschhoek valley. Hold your breath as a leopard appears on a sunset safari drive. Hear the powerful roar of the Indian Ocean.
