Our Premium Journeys are designed for travelers who want comfort, character, and connection woven seamlessly into their African adventure. Staying in carefully selected 3–5 star lodges and boutique camps, you’ll enjoy en-suite rooms, hearty meals, and welcoming hospitality at the end of each day. With shorter travel days, more time is spent where it matters most—immersed in the landscapes, wildlife, and culture that make each destination unforgettable. Whether it’s a sunset boat cruise on a quiet river, a glass of wine by the fire, or waking up to birdsong in the bush, our itineraries are crafted to maximize unhurried, meaningful moments. Travel in smaller groups for a more personal experience, with expert guides who bring every story and sight to life. Premium Journeys strike the perfect balance of comfort and adventure, leaving you free to focus on the joy of discovery.

Guided travel involves hiring a professional guide who serves as a local guide and driver, and takes care of the driving responsibilities. The traveler can focus on enjoying the trip and the destination without the stress of driving. The driver-guide provides local knowledge, expertise, and recommendations, and can offer a more immersive and personalized experience. It can be more expensive than self-drive travel but provides convenience, safety, and local insights.

Your Kenyan adventure begins in Nairobi, where a warm welcome and smooth airport transfer set the tone for your journey ahead. After a restful night, the road leads north to the rugged beauty of Samburu National Reserve, home to the unique “Samburu Special Five” and dramatic desert landscapes. Game drives reveal rare wildlife and vast elephant herds, with optional visits to local Samburu villages offering cultural insight. From here, travel south to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a model of conservation success and home to the last northern white rhinos, before continuing to Lake Naivasha’s tranquil shores in the Great Rift Valley, surrounded by birdlife and acacia trees. Your adventure culminates in the iconic Maasai Mara National Reserve, where the golden plains teem with lions, leopards, cheetahs, and the thundering herds of the savannah. Days are filled with morning and afternoon game drives, and optional hot air balloon safaris offer breathtaking views from above. As your journey ends with a final sunrise over the Mara and a return to Nairobi, you’ll carry with you unforgettable memories of Kenya’s diverse wildlife, striking landscapes, and warm hospitality—a true African safari from rugged wilderness to world-famous plains.
