Kenya
Why should I plan your trip? Because peak migration season and an empty camp aren't supposed to happen at the same time. I know where they do.

Great Rift & MaraPEAK MIGRATION, INTIMATE CAMPS
Kenya carries the image most people picture when they hear the word safari, and it earns it. Laikipia opens the trip on private, community-run conservancies, fewer vehicles, closer access, walking safaris where the standard national parks don't allow them. The Masai Mara follows, peak migration season overlapping with genuinely intimate camps rather than the crowded circuit most travelers expect. Nairobi closes the loop, a fast-moving capital and a reminder that Kenya is a country, not just a backdrop.

Where to go in kenya
Nairobi serves as an excellent starting point for African safari trips around Kenya. As Africa’s 4th largest city, it is a vibrant and exciting place to be. Its cafe culture, nightlife, the National Museum, the Karen Blixen Museum and most notably, just 20 minutes from the city centre, wild lions and buffalo roam in the world’s only urban game reserve.
Nairobi
Located between the Tsavo West National Park and Amboseli National Park, the Chyulu Hills National Park protects an important water catchment area. This unique habitat features vast grass plains, forested rolling hills and rugged volcanic cones and craters set against the beautiful backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Chyulu Hills
Fringing the northwestern edge of Kenya’s Laikipia plateau, the Mugie Conservancy features over 200 square kilometres of scenic landscape. Almost half the conservancy falls within the Mugie Sanctuary which is home to an abundance of elephants, Grevy’s zebras, big cats, and endangered Jackson’s hartebeests.
Mugie Conservancy
One of Kenya’s undisputed natural highlights is the Masai Mara National Reserve, which sprawls across more than 1500 square kilometres of the country’s southwest. The park protects a phenomenal array of game, including elephant, lion, leopard and buffalo, as well as crocodile and hippopotamus in the Mara River.
