Kenya, at the pace it deserves.
For over a decade we have built East Africa's safaris from Nairobi — thousands of journeys across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda, and direct accounts with the camps worth staying in. One consultant owns your trip from the first email to the airport.
Open country across four countries, and the particular corners we trust.
Each of these is somewhere we send guests repeatedly, because the guiding is good and the camps answer the phone.

Five safaris we are asked for most.

The mountain is usually clear for an hour after dawn, and again just before dusk.
Sundowners on the plains, an hour before the drive back.
We would rather send you somewhere quieter than somewhere famous.
Most operators sell the Mara in August because it is what people ask for. Sometimes that is right. Often it is not — the crossings are crowded, the rates are at their peak, and the same money buys a private conservancy with better guiding and nobody else at the sighting.
We will tell you when that is the case. It is the whole reason to use a person instead of a website.
They moved our whole trip forward by a week because the rains were early. We would never have known to ask.
Photographs from recent trips.
Tell us roughly what you want. We will do the rest.
