Lions can often be seen in trees in Kenya Luxury Safaris in Kenya
Kenya offers a huge diversity of wildlife which is best viewed with a private vehicle and a highly expert safari guide. Your guide will take you to some of the most remote and unvisited areas of Kenya enabling you to enjoy unsurpassable game viewing on your remote Kenyan safari.
Kenya is excellent as the location for a family safari as children are more suited to vehicle safaris than to walking and canoeing. Your family can share these magical moments in privacy, with your own vehicle and guide rather than sharing with others in a large minivan. A Kenyan safari of this kind would usually be seven to ten days exploring three different parts of the country and enjoying the game viewing in all the differing environments. These often conclude with a week or so by the sun drenched coastline where we can arrange for you to stay in whatever size or shape hotel that suits you best.

Shompole is another luxury private lodge that is perched on the edge of the Rift Valley near Lake Natron where vast flocks of flamingos come to breed and where you can have a private walk with scarlet clad Masai who will track wildlife through the rich rainforest. .
After your safari enjoying Kenyan's best game viewing you might like to head off to an idyllic luxury hideaway.
