Do you find your wildlife safari experience more important than how many golden taps your accommodation has? Then this is your Kenya wildlife safari. This trip offers an exceptional and exclusive wildlife experience with high quality guiding. All game drives are conducted in customised 4x4 safari vehicles taking a maximum of only 6 passengers. All driver/guides are wildlife experts and certified by the Kenya Professional Safari Guides Association. The exclusive bush camps are located in private wildlife conservancies away from the tourist minibuses in both Amboseli and Masai Mara, but at a fraction of the safari lodge prices!

The advantage of being located in a private conservancy is not having to share the wealth of wildlife with 100's of other tourists. In addition, walking safaris with Maasai guides and night drives are allowed in these areas. At the same time, the conservancies are conveniently located with easy access to the Amboseli National Park and Maasai Mara Reserve.

You will need to be prepared to sleep on comfortable mattresses with sleeping bags on the floor.

The bush camps are surrounded by thorn tree bushes, chain-link and/or post fences for added security.
