Exhilarating East Africa

The pristine environment of Kenya reveals a natural playground for adventure seekers. Its landscapes range from magical rainforest, rolling wooded grassland and misty forests to classic African savannahs, topped by the snow-capped majesty of Mount Kenya. The exhilaration never ends as you venture to several historic private homesteads set among the vast herds of antelope and families of roaming elephant. The terrain is ideal for days filled with camel trekking, walking, horseback riding and mountain biking. The brave-of-heart might opt for micro-lighting or a helicopter ride before continuing to the Masai Mara, Kenya’s premier wildlife haven. Days and nights are filled with incredible animal sightings, crowned with a dawn balloon ride over the Mara. The voyage comes to an invigorating climax on a private island off of Zanzibar, for snorkeling, scuba diving and relaxing on the beach among the balmy breezes of the spice island coast.
