Sabbaticals & Experiential Holidays in Kenya

Many a traveller’s heart has been lost to Kenya. A popular first-time safari destination, Kenya evokes the power and romance of travel with unpretentious ease, and really enters the soul. It offers magnificent landscapes – the vast, captivating beauty of the Masai Mara, the undulating, scenic country of the central highlands, and the white beaches of the Indian Ocean. Known for its plentiful game (including the world-famous wildebeest migration), proud cultural traditions, and exceptional hospitality well-tailored for young and old alike, it’s easy to see why Kenya manifests such timeless sway.


Best off the Beaten Path experiences in Kenya

  • Navigate through South Georgia, the South Shetland Islands and the Falkland Isles (Malvinas).
  • Explore remote outposts dotted throughout the Peninsula and partake in activities ranging from gentle treks to ice-climbing and cross-country skiing.
  • For a deeper understanding of the White Continent, visit one of the scientific research centres and learn about their work.

All trips promise the most dramatic of awe-inspiring scenery combined with a rich variety of wildlife.


Wildlife in Kenya

Experience the awe-inspiring Great Migration in the Masai Mara. Millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse the open plains as they circle clockwise between the Masai Mara and the Serengeti. Witness the circle of life in action as big cat predators stalk their prey and scavenging hyenas and vultures jostle for their place in the hierarchy.

Heading north to the arid lands of Samburu National Reserve, spot rare species adapted to the drier conditions, such as the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, and Somali ostrich.

South West in the Amboseli National Park, be captivated by the sight of massive herds of elephants against the backdrop of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro. Explore the rugged terrains of Tsavo National Park, home to an abundance of wildlife including the elusive black rhino, the endangered African hunting dog, and the magnificent Big-Tusk elephants.

Off the coast, ethereal coral reefs abound in turquoise waters, alive with iridescent tropical fish darting through the colourful formations.


When to go to Kenya

Kenya is a great destination year-round with a warm climate, between 18-29°C.

Rains fall November, April and May. These are generally heavy afternoon showers. These need not impede the enjoyment of a trip and can make for more green landscapes and great photography.

Flights to the capital, Nairobi, are direct from UK (8h35m from London) and USA (14h45m from New York).

How can I make a difference in Kenya?

The majestic Big-Tusker elephants mesmerise with gigantic tusks sweeping down to the dusty ground. However, there are only 25 left in the world. The Tsavo Trust works to save these magnificent creatures from being poached to extinction, and operates on donations.

Visit a ‘bee fence’ farmer as part of the ‘Elephants and Bees’ program, and find out how bees can keep the peace between humans and elephants. As elephants are afraid of African honey bees, farmers repel them humanely by installing a border of hives around their fields.


Where to stay in Kenya

Stay in a luxury, mobile tented camp, which moves to follow the migration; go ‘fly camping’ for a couple of nights, with just a mosquito net (and armed guard) between you, nature and the stars; relax in the luxury of a fixed safari lodge; or stay in a boutique hotel on the white shores of the coast. Accommodation aims not to leave a footprint and has sustainability built in.
