      Exclusive Kenya Holidays & Tours

      For many of those visiting for the first time, perhaps as a family or on honeymoon, Kenya is right at the top of the list of dream African destinations.

      Close your eyes and think of Africa and, chances are, it’ll be Kenya you imagine. Maybe you see yourself floating in a hot-air balloon above migrating wildebeest in the Masai Mara, or sailing an Arab dhow over a shimmering Indian Ocean coral reef. Perhaps you envisage a herd of elephant slowly lumbering against the eternal snows of Kilimanjaro, or the natural drama of the Great Rift Valley, its soda lakes filled with million-strong colonies of flamingo?

      “The advantages of travelling to Kenya with Explorations will become apparent as soon as you get in touch.”

      The truth is that, while these ‘postcard’ images are still just about valid, the reality is increasingly becoming a little different. Wildlife almost everywhere in Kenya is threatened, and the classic safari in some places has become a victim of its own success with dozens of vehicles clustered around a pride of rather bored lions.

      Having lived, explored and been actively championing responsible community- and conservation-based safaris since 1989, our team of Kenya experts couldn’t be better placed to help you derive the most from your time in this hauntingly beautiful country.

      We’ll help you avoid the crowds. We recognise that treasure isn’t always found in the most obvious places or even at the obvious times of year. We have the connections, the guides and the logistical capabilities to deliver a classic Masai Mara safari you’ll remember for the right reasons, as well as take you way off the beaten track (in the most sophisticated style, naturally) into wild and rugged bush country, each dawn promising new discoveries.

      We know which estates and private guides will engage with every member of your family, no matter their age, and deliver their ideal wildlife safari. We also know the low-key romantic properties that will deliver forever views along with great service and privacy. Who is doing the most exciting conservation or community work. And which experts to bring in for a campfire chat to elevate your experience into something more meaningful. In short, we’re adept at striking that elusive balance between sophisticated and simple, iconic and idiosyncratic, pampered and purposeful.

      While every Kenya safari we create is individually tailored to your wishes and needs, perhaps a few of the client experiences we have created over the years might serve as a seed of inspiration for your own Kenya adventure: a private safari in Mara North Conservancy with a top wildlife documentary maker followed by a Maasai warrior training ‘bush camp’, designed for a family wanting to wean their teenage children off their digital devices; a couple’s heli-safari to the Suguta Valley and Lake Turkana, supported by private mobile camps, to explore the origins of humanity with a world-famous anthropologist; a day spent with a district nurse on her rounds of local Maasai communities for a philanthropic investor keen on supporting grassroots projects; a week’s private dhow cruise in the Lamu archipelago for a group of friends who wanted to fish, dive and wakeboard; a horse-back safari with Samburu cowboys through the remote Mathews Range for a woman who wanted to retrace the life of her grandmother.

      If this sounds like the kind of Africa you’ve always dreamed of, then you are most definitely our kind of guest.
