Year Round Private Trips

Safaris in Kenya
For many visitors the most wonderful memories are associated with travel in the bush: open camp fires, sleeping under the clear starry skies. There are many areas in East Africa which offer excellent opportunities for wilderness expeditions. Game parks are the obvious safari destinations but many other areas are worthy of consideration - these are outlined below.

The Loita Hills and Nguruman Escarpment overlook the Rift Valley. The area provides some of the best game land walking in one of East Africa's few remaining true forested wilderness areas. In the Rift Valley itself, Hell's Gate gorge is famous for its wildlife, magnificent birdlife and roadside climbing. The volcanoes Longonot and Suswa, provide short interesting walks. Suswa is of particular interest with its raft, moat, parasitic cones and unique lava tube caves. Further south, overlooking Lake Natron lies Lengai, the most active of East Africa's volcanoes and a sacred Masaii mountain. It's eruptions seem to follow a seven year cycle. The walk to the summit is tough but the return trip can just be achieved in a day.

The northern semi-deserts are sparsely populated by the colourful Samburu, Rendille and Turkana tribes. The most dramatic of the mountains here is Mount Kulal, situated beside Lake Turkana, 'The Jade Sea'. There is also rock climbing in game parks, snorkelling in Marine parks.
