The incredible natural environment and cultural heritage in Kenya is almost unmatched in Africa. You will find an incredible array of ecosystems; savannah, deep forest, soda and freshwater lakes, alpine meadows, coral reef, caves, beaches, and river deltas.
Your Kenyan adventure will take you to the Masai Mara game reserve, home to Africa's famous "big five" (Lion, Elephant, Rhino, Leopard and Buffalo). When it comes to game viewing, there is nowhere in Africa richer in wildlife than the Mara where encounters are commonplace.
Sailing on a traditional Swahili Dhow along the East African coast is one of Kenya's most memorable experiences. Your Indian Ocean sailing expedition will begin on the ancient Muslim island of Lamu.
During your adventure, you will learn how to sail the dhow, snorkel around pristine coral reefs, and visit a local school. In the evening, you will cook traditional Swahili food and dance and sing with the sailors in their traditional mother tongue.
