Kenya's diverse jungles: concrete, rainforest & savannah!

All set for your Kenya trip? On time to the airport, choose a fun film during your flight and prepare for a warm welcome in Nairobi. This metropolis is the start of your Kenya adventure and is happy to welcome you. Stroll through the backstreets of the capital, go on express exploration through the streets on the back of a bodaboda, unwind after your long flight in one of the trendy restaurants or stop by one of the many shopping malls to buy that sunburn you forgot about after all. Karibu Kenya!

Stroll through the dusty streets of downtown Nairobi with ex-street kids Kissmart, Donga and Cheddaz. These three ‘street kids’ grew up in Mathare, one of Nairobi's biggest slums. They used to hang around Central Business District (CBD) begging, stealing, smuggling and dealing. Now they share their street skills with you on a tour of CBD! Thanks to this tour, the boys can create a better life for themselves, their families and the new generation of street children from their slum. The boys show you where they slept as children, what the escape routes from the police were, and they tell you all about the time they spent in jail. Be prepared for a lot of hot stories, bizarre encounters, lots of high fives, fat dances and, above all, a lot of fun. And don't worry, with these guys around you are safe anyway!

Mount Kenya - the roof of Kenya -, is Africa's second-highest mountain at almost 5,200 metres. A beautiful green jungle can be found around the country's highest peak. The area is home to waterfalls, colourful birds, colobus monkeys and sometimes even forest elephants. Anyway, with the spectacular views of the green hills, vast valleys and the snow-capped peak of Mount Kenya, this is not a wrong place to spend some time!

Descend into the Rift Valley and drive between the yellow-gold acacia trees as if you were in an eternal sunset. In the afternoon, a sunset boat safari is scheduled on nearby Lake Naivasha. The shores are home to all sorts of wildlife: giraffes, waterbucks, zebras, buffaloes, wildebeest,.... Don't forget to bring coolers and purchased snacks on board and then: spot away!

Have a hearty breakfast as an active day is scheduled: Cycling through Hell's Gate National Park! Does the unique landscape look familiar to you? Remember when Mufasa was overrun by wildebeests being chased by hyenas in the Lion King? Hell's Gate was the inspiration for this scene! Fortunately, Simba and his friends are not actually running around here and you can cycle and walk around in peace. You'll spot giraffes, gazelles, buffalo and warthogs, among others, from the bike, while zebras will run with you. And all with spectacular steep cliffs and rock formations as a backdrop. In between, you take an adventurous hike through the gorge created by lava rivers from two volcanoes.

Time for plenty of Masai culture. Milking cows, counting goats and fetching water are daily activities you might be able to help with. Food is included but it's good to know that the Masai are not the best chefs.... So don't have too high expectations of the food, although it will be prepared for you with love. At and around Mt Suswa, you can't get bored. For instance, you can cruise around on the back of a motorbike between the inner and outer crater and bring out the caving enthusiast in yourself in one of the rocks. The highlight, however, is the hike to the top! This hike takes about 5-6 hours. Masai will walk with you, so along the way you can ask all kinds of questions about the area and daily life here.

The Masai Mara. Needs no introduction. The extension of the Serengeti - or vice versa, backdrop for the Great Migration and otherwise endless plains for the ultimate safari experience. The animals are most active in the morning, when the savannah is still cool. So who knows, you might be met by some big cats. Do you know the BBC series Big Cat Diary? It was filmed here. So chances are you will see a lion or cheetah walking by. Leopards can also be seen lazing in trees or strolling along the road. TIP: Make sure you arrange a packed lunch at the camp the day before, so you don't have to go back and you have some more time. You can then munch these on the banks of the Mara River.

After part 1 of the trip, return to Nairobi to catch your breath. Explore the city further via one of the city tours, or explore on your own and choose one of the many great places to have lunch and enjoy the surroundings.

Mombasa is described in many ways, but believe us when we say this city has an irresistible charm. It offers a melting pot of cultural influences, a maze of narrow streets and chill coastal vibes. So a visit to this urban gem on the coast is a must. Due to its convenient location on the Indian Ocean, Mombasa has influences from all over the world, something that is reflected in the city's food culture. Wander the local streets and visit quaint markets and squares. Mingle with locals on the beach and sample freshly caught fish at one of the many quaint restaurants.

Welcome to Kilifi: a quieter coastal town with clear blue ocean, swaying palm trees and pearly white sand beaches. Fresh fish on the barbecue, campfires during sunset and deep mangroves ready to be explored. You will find the ultimate happy vibes and kitesurfing opportunities here! Kilifi is an absolute hidden gem on the Indian Ocean. Relax on the beach and enjoy a beautiful sunset. Whereas in other coastal towns you are surrounded by many others, in Kilifi it seems like you are one of the few in the world. During the day, go snorkelling, fishing, sailing, feast on Swahili seafoods, or just chill at Salty's, a nice hip spot on the beach. Ultimate relaxation!

Everything comes to an end, including this wonderful adventure. Fully rested, you pack your bags to get on the plane home. With a nice healthy colour on your cheeks, you board the plane. With your eyes closed and your seat reclined, you relive the cool adventures of the past few days. Full of inspiration and with an overdose of wonderful memories, you return home. Unspoilt nature, lush wildlife, inspiring people & vibrant cities. You now have plenty of stories to tell family and friends later by the fire. An adventure over, but a new set of experiences richer.
