Laikipia Plateau
In northern Kenya, the Laikipia Plateau, west of Mount Kenya, is now recognised as a stellar safari destination with a diverse choice of wildlife conservancies such as the famous Ol Pejeta and Lewa.

Samburu & Northern Kenya
Wildlife in Kenya’s arid northern parks is not as prolific as in the south, but it’s still special, particularly with the dramatic scenery as a backdrop.

Amboseli National Park
With a backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli is home to large herds of elephants, wildebeest, zebra, impala and over 400 species of birds.

Tsavo & Chyulu Hills
Tsavo is one of Africa’s largest reserves, a haven for elephants. Nearby Chyulu Hills is great for horse riding and walking safaris, all the while enjoying iconic views across to Kilimanjaro.

Nairobi
There are some great places to visit in Nairobi – such as the national park or Sheldrick’s Wildlife Orphanage - so a night or two can be interesting even though most people just pass through.

Meru National Park
Meru National Park is Kenya at its most wild and beautiful, and it’s still off the mainstream tourist trail. This is where Elsa, the orphaned lioness hand-reared by the Adamsons, was released into the wild.
