THE FIELD BRIEF
The connoisseur's Kenya: the special five of the arid north, chimpanzees and the last northern white rhinos at Ol Pejeta, and a grand Mara finale — eight days across three utterly different ecosystems.
GENUINE TOTAL PRICE
The published “from” price is visible, but accommodation, statutory fees, vehicle, guide, flights, taxes, margin and upgrades have not yet been safely exposed as structured amounts. We will not invent the split.

VOICES FROM THE TRAIL
Staying on Naboisho meant we often had sightings entirely to ourselves while the reserve was busy. Knowing our fees paid Maasai landowners directly made it better still.
Duncan positioned the vehicle for light every single time without being asked. I came home with a portfolio, not just holiday snaps.
Samburu was the surprise of the trip — gerenuk standing on hind legs meters from us. Impeccable camps and honest advice throughout.
The drive north to Samburu is not short — be warned — but every other aspect, from the guiding to the food, was outstanding.
