Private safaris · Nairobi, Kenya
The wild runs on its own calendar: calving on the short-grass plains, rivers boiling with wildebeest, and weeks when the whole savanna turns green. We plan Kenyan safaris timed to what’s actually happening out there.
The safari year
There’s no bad time to visit Kenya. Each season offers a different safari. Choose when you can travel, and we’ll build the trip around it.
January – March
Hundreds of thousands of wildebeest calves are born within weeks of each other on the southern plains, and every predator knows it. Big cats hunt in daylight, the light is crisp after the rains, and lodges are quieter than during peak season.
April – June
The rains turn the savanna emerald and the crowds go home. Migratory birds arrive by the hundreds of species, newborns are everywhere, and lodge rates drop by a third. Bring a rain jacket for an hour a day, and keep the landscape to yourself.
July – October
From July to October, the wildebeest mass on the Mara River and cross it, chaotically and unforgettably. This is the safari of the documentaries. Book eight to twelve months ahead, because river-front camps fill first.
November – December
Brief afternoon showers rinse the dust, the plains flush green again, and the parks turn quiet before the holidays. Perfect for a festive-season escape that ends on the coast.
Signature safaris
Jul – Oct
Two full days on the Mara River during migration season with a licensed guide who reads the herds, plus a night in a conservancy where the crowds can’t follow.
Year-round
Big tuskers against the mountain at dawn, then the springs and lava country of Tsavo West. The classic photographic safari, unhurried.
Year-round
Four days of game drives, then a short flight south to the white sand and warm water of Diani Beach. A honeymoon favourite, earned, not marketed.
Why travel with us
We cap every vehicle at six guests. Nobody shoots photos over a stranger’s shoulder, and nobody waits their turn at a sighting.
Our guides are KPSGA-certified and Kenyan-born. They don’t follow the radio chatter. They’re usually the ones other vehicles follow.
We’ll tell you honestly when a park is at its best, and when your money is better spent somewhere greener, quieter, or wilder that month.
From the game-drive seats
Our guide called the river crossing twenty minutes before it happened. We were the only vehicle there.
They moved our dates to catch the green season and halved our lodge costs. Who does that?
Six days of dust, one perfect beach. Exactly the trip they promised.
