Where we go

Kenya, in depth. Tanzania, when it is the right answer.

Exceptional journeys through East Africa, with a particular depth of knowledge and access in Kenya. We work across Tanzania too — the Serengeti for the migration, Kilimanjaro and Amboseli, and Zanzibar when a journey needs to end at the sea.


Where we are strongest is the north of Kenya: Samburu, the Mathews Range, the Ndotos and the community conservancies around them. That is where our relationships are deepest and where we can take you places that are genuinely difficult to reach any other way.

Lamu town on the Indian Ocean shore9
