Bush and Beach Safari

From Nairobi to Mombasa

Tour Overview

Discover the wild beauty of Kenya on a Conservancy Safari, a journey through two contrasting ecosystems guided by expert naturalists. Spanning over 90,000 acres, Ol Pejeta Conservancy offers an exclusive and uncrowded safari experience, home to Kenya’s largest Black Rhino population, as well as elephants, lions, cheetahs, and abundant plains game. With views of Mount Kenya on the horizon, it’s a pristine wilderness that feels both remote and deeply rewarding.

Within the Conservancy lies the Chimpanzee Sanctuary, a refuge for orphaned chimps and the only place in Kenya where these remarkable primates can be seen. A private visit outside regular hours offers a rare and moving encounter.

Continue across the Great Rift Valley to the world-renowned Masai Mara, where wildlife roams freely across vast savannahs. Enjoy flexible days filled with exceptional game drives, walking safaris, and cultural encounters with the Maasai.

Conclude your journey on Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast, where Mombasa’s sunlit beaches and warm waters provide the perfect ending to this unforgettable adventure.

This journey can be fully tailored to suit your preferences — whether you dream of more time in the bush, on the coast, or both.  Speak to us today about crafting your own bespoke Safari.
