Spirit of Kenya

Spirit of Kenya

Trip rating
  • In Kenya, you will not only hear Africa’s song but you will see it played out in front of your very eyes. The Masai people will reach deep into your beating heart and respond with a chanting chorus of harmonies, ranging from a primal growl to a high pitched hum.

    Why we love it

    • Wander on foot in Laikipia with your local guides, Samburu warriors, who share with you their customs and traditions
    • Sleep under the African sky in a luxurious tented camp in the midst of the wildlife-rich Masai Mara
    • Explore Masai Mara National Reserve, site of the heart-stopping annual wildebeest migration and home to all members of the Big Five
