During your safari different activities are offered in the different locations and the possibilities are practically endless. Some of the activities may require prior booking or is charged extra:
GAMEDRIVES
Game drives are an amazing way to explore the African wilderness and observe wildlife in its natural habitat. No two game drives are ever the same. Game drives usually depart early in the morning or late afternoon when animals are most active and the light pretty.
Your Safari Guide will take you on game drives in customised open sided 4×4 safari vehicles that are adapted to meet your needs including charging ports for your equipment. Our game drives are unlimited meaning you can decide to stay out longer with picnics, soft drinks and water on board.
WALKING
Walking through the bush with expert guides and local trackers allows you to experience the sights, sounds and smells of the African wilderness in a more intimate way. A leisurely morning/evening walk from your camp is offered in some locations. However, for the adventurous ones 3–5-night fly camping safari with luggage and gear transported on camels can be organised. Guests get an amazing opportunity to walk through wild natural habitat encountering abundant wildlife that coexists with the local Samburu and Maasai communities
HORSEBACK SAFARI
Horseback safaris offer a perfect blend of adventure and tranquillity allowing you to connect with nature, observe wildlife from a unique perspective and create unforgettable memories. Different riding abilities can be catered for
CULTURAL VISITS
On safari you will get a chance to interact with different tribes and communities, some of which have managed to preserve their cultural practices to date and are best known for their frontline traditional wildlife conservation practices like the Maasai of Kenya and Tanzania
NIGHT GAME DRIVES
Embark on a night adventure in customised safari vehicles and using an infrared spotlight find nocturnal animals such as the white-tailed mongoose, African civet, bushbabies the rare aardvark among others. Star gazing on a clear night on the equator is incredible due to lack of light pollution.
FISHING
Kenya has some great fishing opportunities from high country trout to large ocean-going species. On safaris we can fish for catfish and barbel on request. But trips to target species like Nile perch, Mount Kenya trout and tigerfish can be put together
MOUNTAIN CLIMBING
East Africa is home to most of Africa’s iconic mountains such as the highest on the continent Mt Kilimanjaro, standing at 5895 meters it is also the world’s highest free-standing mountain. And yet you don’t need to be an experienced climber to reach its peak. Mt Kenya on the other hand stands at 5199 meters on Batian the highest peak, Nelion is second at 5188 meters and Lenana third highest at 4985meters. The panoramic views of the jagged volcanic peaks, wide valleys and surrounding savanna makes a trek on the mountain thoroughly enjoyable African Experience.
BIRD WATCHING
Kenya alone is home to over 1134bird species. Whether you want a specialist birding safari targeting hundreds of birds in a fortnight or you seek a more general wildlife safari our safari gurus/guides will know what you are looking at and interpret its behaviour. We have a variety of tours and well researched safari destinations to suit every birder providing photographic opportunities
HELICOPTER EXCURSIONS
A helicopter is one of the finest ways to access some of the most remote locations off the beaten track. You can go fishing in the glacial lakes on Mt Kenya, visit the sand dunes in the north, fly up the Great Rift Valley with flamingo filled lakes, have breakfast on a mountain ridge and so much more.
BOAT RIDES
Kenya is home to 64% (9.50%) of the total lakes in the African continent. Eight of them make up the main lakes in the Kenyan rift valley. They include lake Turkana, Lake Baringo, Lake Bogoria, lake Nakuru, lake Logipi, lake Elementaita, lake Naivasha and Lake Magadi. Only lake Baringo and lake Naivasha are fresh water lakes, the rest are poorly drained hence alkaline rich in the blue green algae that feeds crustaceans and flamingos. The rift valley lake system has some of the most diverse bird population in the world with some threatened and endemic species found here. The lands around the lakes roam herds of buffalo, Rothschild giraffe, rhino, greater kudu among other plains game. A boat ride in lake Naivasha gets you closer to the pods of hippos and the amazing birdlife
BALLOON RIDES
The hot Air balloon is the most surreal way to experience the Maasai Mara wilderness and enjoy the scenic beauty. A balloon ride over lions, zebra, wildebeests, elephants is an adventure with an entirely different perspective
