Discover the real meaning of safari (the Swahili word for “journey”) on a three-week adventure in Kenya, created and implemented by Kenyans to provide an authentic and impactful experience. You’ll connect with the cultures and environments of this remarkable country as you explore national parks, visit wildlife reservations, and stay with a local host family. You and your group will tour urban centers—such as downtown Nairobi—and venture into the habitats of rare species like lions and rhinos. You’ll also meet and live with the semi-nomadic Maasai tribe, who live on a breathtaking national reserve and learn about the Maasai way of life and their work. Enjoy two weeks of education and exploration in a country dedicated to preserving and protecting its vast natural beauty.

Each year, the Maasai Mara becomes the stage for the Great Migration, when thousands of wildebeest and zebra cross the Mara River, attracting intense predator activity. Timed to this dramatic season, this photography and conservation experience offers exceptional opportunities to capture powerful wildlife moments. You’ll explore three distinct regions - the Mara Triangle, Pardamat Conservation Area, and Naboisho Conservancy, each offering unique photographic and storytelling potential. With small groups and flexible schedules, you’ll have time to wait for the perfect shot. Guided by wildlife photographer Sam Turley, and enriched by conservation and community insights, this journey goes far beyond a typical safari.

Prepare for a journey that will leave you craving more - with exhilarating rides, professional guides, breathtaking wildlife encounters, and the authentic African experience - as you embark on the ultimate horse-riding safari in the magnificent Maasai Mara. Led by expert guides, you'll spend eight days exploring this remarkable destination, transitioning camps four times, and gathering around campfires. Experience an exceptional journey covering more than 250 kilometers of the breathtaking Maasai Mara, only for skilled and confident riders ready to navigate various terrains where they can meet the unexpected at any turn and spend up to 7 hours daily in the saddle. As you travel across the Mara, you will have the once-in-a-lifetime experience of cantering alongside herds of wildebeest and zebra during migration. This program requires an intermediate plus or advanced riding level. Enjoy exploring this breathtaking landscape and all its animal encounters from the back of a well-schooled and fit horse. You'll enjoy long exhilarating canters and fast-paced riding through incredible landscapes. So saddle up and immerse yourself in this extraordinary experience.

The Great Migration in the Masai Mara Game Park is one of the most spectacular wildlife events on the planet. Each year, over 1.5 million wildebeest, accompanied by hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles, journey from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Masai Mara in Kenya. This migration, driven by the seasonal rains, sees these animals traverse vast distances in search of fresh grazing grounds and water. The spectacle is renowned for dramatic river crossings, particularly of the Mara River, where predators such as crocodiles lie in wait. This natural wonder not only highlights the incredible resilience and instinct of these species but also showcases the rich biodiversity of East Africa.

While Kenya boasts beautiful landscapes, it has a complicated past and a natural psyche. This coastal region is awash with luxurious beaches, wild animals, national parks, and lake fishing. You’ll find yourself in the county of Kisumu, right next to Lake Victoria, in the small town of Muhoroni where you’ll experience the kindness of the Kenyans. Kenya is stepping into the future. You can help with this process by volunteering in one of the many projects available in the town of Muhoroni, which lies 30 kilometers to the east of Kisumu city. It is mostly inhabited by the Luo tribe with a population of around 120,000 people almost entirely depending on subsistence farming (though there are three sugar factories). The people of Muhoroni are always warm and welcoming, and the smiles on their faces tell it all. Muhoroni has warm weather of about 25 Celsius all year round. As a volunteer, you will have the excitement to gain an even deeper understanding and appreciation of a foreign land and culture through humanitarian service, language and intercultural training, and exploration.

Enjoy a scenic journey with the 5-day Mount Kenya trek, which takes you through the Sirimon route and descends the magnificent Chogoria route. The Sirimon route is 15 km northeast of Nanyuki and has the most gradual incline among the three main routes heading to the peak, making it suitable for acclimatization. It only has a few steep areas; hence, it is considered the least challenging route. Chogoria is arguably the most scenic route. It has incredible features such as the spectacular Temple cliffs, the breathtaking Lake Ellis with amazing views of Mugi hills, the Giant's Billiards table, Lake Michaelson, Nithi Falls, and Gorges Valley. Join this incredible hike and discover the region's unique landscapes. The best time to climb Mount Kenya is during the dry months of January, February, late August, September, and October. Mount Kenya is a circular, large symmetrical volcano cone with a base diameter of about 12 km. It has three peaks: Batian (5,199 m), Nelion (5,188m), and Point Lenana (4,985m).
