Step onto the pages of ‘Out of Africa’ and watch herds of migrating wildebeests and zebras pursued by predators relentlessly. The Masai Mara has immense wildlife, it’s perhaps the world’s most iconic safari destination. Drive through the plains to see towering giraffes, majestic elephants, and lions soaking in the very essence of Africa.

From the snow-capped peaks of Mt Kenya to orange-hued sunsets splashed across the savannah, Kenya is a country that’s simply begging to be explored. With lush tropical rainforests, palm-fringed coastlines, and harsh desert terrain. The epicentre of some of the world’s most endangered species like the black rhinos and zebras, Kenya is the quintessential stomping ground of any African safari tour. Our Kenya safari tour itineraries offer a great mix of stunning national parks, brilliant game-viewing locations, bush camping and tropical beaches that gives you a perfectly rounded African experience.

From the Amboseli National Park to the glistening views of Lake Manyara, you’ll soon find our Kenya safari trips offer the ultimate experience.
Masai Mara safaris: Undoubedly one of the best locations for an African safari holiday, the Masai Mars National Reserve is home to Maasai communities whose rituals and ancient traditions remain an integral part of their everyday life. Once fearful warriors, their life is now dominated by the need to tend and protect their cattle: proud Maasai men in bright-red cloaks carry long spears to lead their herds across the vast grasslands in search of water and pastures. And then there are the animals…
Lake Nakuru safaris: A large soda lake carpeted with thousands of pink flamingo, Lake Nakuru is an awe-inspiring sight made even more spectacular when the birds take flight, forming a great pink cloud above the shimmering water. A Kenya safari tour to Lake Nakuru National Park will live long in the memory. An important sanctuary for the black and white rhino – often be seen at rest near the lake shore and under acacia trees – Nakuru is also likely to offer up sightings of huge herds of zebra and buffalo, prides of lions and wandering giraffes, and possibly a lone leopard…
The Sacred Realm of Mount Kenya: Africa’s second highest peak, Mount Kenya is regarded as the sacred realm of Ngai, the god of the local Kikuyu people, and known as the ‘place of light’. It’s an inspiring sight best viewed at dawn when illuminated by the sun’s early rays. Kenya safari holidays don’t have to just be about wildlife. Trekking fans will be drawn to the challenging granite cliffs and volcanic rock of Mount Kenya’s snow-capped peak.
Life on the Great Rift Valley: Step out onto the Rift Valley’s open plains and you’ll feel a million times smaller than you ever have before. Drive by a pride of lions in a 4WD safari vehicle, watch a herd of elephants from the back of a horse, or spot some of the 400 species of bird-life around the sparkling lakes of Navaisha and Nakuru.
As a birdwatcher I know that nature doesn’t also show up just because you bought a ticket but, from the first moment, the wildlife of Kruger more than delivered. And so much of that was due to the guides Exodus booked inside the reserve, particularly Nhlamulo Nyalungu who always seemed to know where the action was.
The accommodation was great too and meals were superb, variety as well as quality with plenty of quantity. Rooms were clean and very spacious with access onto the lawn and pool without losing any sense of privacy.
Sri Lanka is a magical country that over-delivered against every expectation we had before embarking on our adventure. The trip itself includes a huge range of inspiring activities. Some are big, some are just the little in-between moments, but all have their own magic. I genuinely can’t think of a moment we didn’t really enjoy.
It’s a country with a fairly recent challenging history, and we learned on our holiday that some of those challenges haven’t gone away. Despite this, the country exudes happiness. Our excellent guide, Roshan, told us this was simply because the one thing Sri Lankans have is time. I don’t really buy that. I just think it’s culturally ingrained.
This was a fantastic trip with a great variety of hikes, balanced nicely by a handful of slower-paced cultural and wildlife experiences throughout the week. The Carpathian Mountains are absolutely beautiful and still feel untouched compared to many of Europe’s more famous hiking destinations. The scenery is stunning, the villages are charming, and the whole region feels authentic and welcoming.
