Don’t get us wrong, we are also more than happy to book a regular safari trip too! Whatever you wish, we will meet and exceed it! For example, let your thoughts wander: a boat safari on Lake Naivasha, a bicycle safari in Hell’s Gate National Park or a walking safari on Crescent Island and that’s just East Africa! Hmm, not so about that standard safari, are you? 😉 There’s more! You can then jump on the back of a motorbike with one of our Maasai friends, or even better: cross the savannah yourself! The motorcycle safari is one of the many trips that we have developed ourselves.
Self-drive is often said to be the best way to see all that Africa has to offer! Imagine taking a cool photo next to your fully equipped 4×4 or pulling over to talk to locals along the way. However, we understand that navigating the African roads for yourself may not be what you’re looking for so we also offer our trips with drivers. That way you get a driver and guide all in one!
Rafting, hiking, and safari – you can make your trip as wild as you want. But you are not alone on an adventure! Every journey is a co-creation and we build it in close consultation with you. So you can also opt for one or more relaxed, zen moments. This could be staying in a super deluxe lodge that offers spa treatment and more, or feeling the sand between your toes on the coast for a few days while experiencing some amazing seafood restaurants.
We’ve talked about all over our website but it is really important for us to keep in contact with our local communities and partners. We want you to experience this too because when you travel and you really get to know the locals, your trip becomes that much more special and meaningful. Consider, for example, the unique Maasai Tribal Trek, a multi-day trip where our Maasai friends guide you through the Loita Hills and the Magadi Desert.
We live and work in Nairobi, Kenya, and for good reason! Not only do we love the country, we also see a lot of potential in the East African travel sector. However, the market is still very traditional and does not always make a positive contribution to the sustainable development of the region. Fortunately, being based in Nairobi, we have the opportunity to do things differently – we want to use the untapped potential! You can read how we do this on this page.
On the coast, you will find the most beautiful private villas, right on a snow-white bounty beach and an azure blue sea. Private service and cooks who provide you all day with cocktails, cold beers, and delicious multi-course meals. A swimming pool at the door, in case the sea has retreated too far. Depending on your budget and the number of people, we will find the most beautiful locations for you!
Put your camping gear in the boot and go! We select the most beautiful camping spots for you and make sure you have the right equipment with you. To avoid hippos grazing around, you can also choose to sleep in a rooftop tent, safely high up. Do you prefer more luxury, but still want to stay in the camping spirit?
Prefer not to leave your tent to go to the toilet, while the wildlife grazes around you? We have selected lodges that will still give you the ultimate safari feeling. Take Burudika Manyara Lodge, for example. This accommodation is situated on the edge of Lake Manyara National Park and has bandas that are completely integrated into the surroundings. The restaurant is built around a Baobab tree! Another special lodge is Simba Farm Lodge: a working farm and lodge with breathtakingly beautiful views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Fair Trade Tourism is HOT! Fresh citrus fruits welcome you to this former farm where everything revolves around eco and fair trade. What we take from nature we also have to give back, right? This happens in their gigantic gardens full of fruit and vegetables but also by having a swimming pool that is completely organic! Addo African Home is located close to the Addo Elephant park. The food from the garden transforms into sub-lymical and honest food with a touch of French elegance. Delicieuxxxx…. Because yes, it’s nice to be eco, but the way to love is through the stomach!
