The ultimate Kenyan odyssey! This 12-day journey spans Kenya's most celebrated ecosystems — from Nairobi's conservation centers to the rhinos of Ol Pejeta, the misty Aberdares, flamingos of Nakuru, the Big Five of the Maasai Mara, and finally the white sand beaches of Mombasa. A once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

What our clients love about us.
"From the first interaction through a friend referral the service was excellent. Mike was wonderful and timely from airport pick up to drop off. The office staff were great. The tour planning and guidance came handy. Everyone I interacted with was very professional."
"This is an excellent guide and car service which we used in Nairobi and also on an overnight trip to the Homa Peninsula. They came highly recommended by an NGO that works in Kenya and we are glad we hired them. Mike was an exceptional driver on many different road conditions! We travelled in a comfortable Land Cruiser Prado to rural dirt paths and crazy urban traffic jams. He also was very knowledgable. It was reasonably priced and very flexible with our changing schedule."
