Overview


From the wide grasslands of the Maasai Mara to the iconic wildlife that roams within it, there is no place like Kenya, where A&K began, for an unforgettable safari. Set out on a week-long adventure on this, our flagship Kenya safari, viewing spectacularly diverse species — including the fabled Big Five — roving through a premier private concession on the Laikipia Plateau and in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve.

Capture the essence of a Hemingway-style adventure that boldly reimagines the classic safari by enhancing it with modern amenities “Papa” scarcely could have imagined

Expert safari guides lead you on every game drive, their in-depth tracking expertise setting the stage for unforgettable wildlife encounters

Custom-made vehicles with an unobstructed view from every seat offer the perfect vantage point for up-close observation of Kenya’s untamed wonders

Explore and stay on a private conservancy on the Laikipia Plateau that abounds with wildlife: the Big Five (including over 130 black rhinos), cheetahs, jackals, hippos, hyenas and more

At the A&K Exclusive Tented Camp in the Maasai Mara, revel in a three-night private stay for just your group, relaxing in eco-friendly tents, each attended to by a personal butler — a fitting finish to your amazing adventure
