My Destination is Kenya Safari (2024)

“For as long as I can remember, I have been passionately intrigued by ‘Africa,’ by the word itself, by its flora and fauna, its topographical diversity and grandeur; but above all else, by the sheer variety of the colors of its people, from tan and sepia to jet and ebony.” - Henry Louis Gates.

Kenya is fascinating. From the topography's surreality, to the utmost tranquility you feel once you hit the bush, relish the diversity in the native people's traditions, join in their songs and dances. This safari has a keen eye out for sustainable and responsible tourism. This safari touches on the following regions; Nairobi, Lewa conservancy and the Maasai Mara National Reserve.

The Lewa Conservancy, founded in 1995, holds a rich history of conservation and community development. Originally a cattle ranch, it transformed into a pioneering wildlife conservancy, focusing on safeguarding endangered species and promoting sustainable practices. Its current objectives encompass wildlife preservation, community engagement, and ecotourism. The conservancy actively protects rhinos, Grevy's zebras, and other species, while empowering local communities through education and healthcare initiatives. Touring Lewa Conservancy is a journey through thriving ecosystems. Guided game drives offer close encounters with elephants, lions, and rare species like reticulated giraffes. Walking safaris provide an intimate understanding of the flora and fauna. Visits to local communities introduce the Maasai culture's authenticity. Guests can stay in luxury lodges overlooking vast landscapes, knowing that their experience contributes to the preservation of Kenya's natural heritage and the upliftment of surrounding communities. The Lewa Conservancy offers an immersive, meaningful, and transformative safari adventure.

On the other hand, the iconic Masai Mara National Reserve, situated in southwestern Kenya, is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and abundant wildlife. Spanning over 1,500 square kilometers, it hosts the spectacular Great Migration, a natural phenomenon where millions of wildebeests and zebras cross the Mara River in search of fresh grazing. Touring the Masai Mara offers exhilarating game drives where visitors witness the dramatic predator-prey interactions and an array of wildlife, from lions to cheetahs. The park's diverse ecosystems encompass rolling grasslands, acacia woodlands, and riverine forests, making it a haven for birdwatching enthusiasts. Guided by experienced Maasai guides, cultural visits to local villages offer insights into the traditions and daily lives of this proud community. Balloon safaris present a unique perspective, floating above the savannah at sunrise. Luxurious lodges and tented camps offer comfortable stays amidst this wild paradise. A visit to the Masai Mara promises an immersive encounter with Africa's natural wonders and cultural heritage.
