KENYA
 Masai Mara National Reserve
The Masai Mara' rolling savannahs are perhaps
the best know game reserve in Africa. Home to huge concentrations of
lions and other predators, and the seasonal appearance of the celebrated
Wildebeest Migration, the Mara consistently provides some of the most
spectacular wildlife viewing in the world.
Amboseli National Park
Well known for the herds of gigantic bull elephants, so often resplendent
with the backdrop of Kilimanjaro, Amboseli combines stunning scenery
with close up game viewing. Additionally Ker & Downey has over many
years established a relationship with the Masai community which allows
for the most genuine of interactions with these traditional people.
Samburu/Shaba National Reserve
In stark contrast to the grassy plains to the south, Samburu lies in
semi arid bush country, along the Ewaso Ngiro River. This river forms
a lifeline for both the hardy Samburu tribes, as well as a multitude
of well-adapted animals. This area highlights the ability of the wildlife
to evolve to the diverse conditions of Kenya.
Lakes of the Great Rift Valley
Both Lake Nakuru and Lake Bogoria National Reserves are populated with
thousands of pink flamingos, as well as having played an important role
in the conservation of the Black rhino. With some of the best examples
of Kenya's biodiversity, the Rift Valley provides an opportunity to experience
Africa at its best.

We often visit places such as Lewa Downs, Loisaba and Borana to see
some of the most romantic, boutique lodges in all Africa, and also to
understand how private management has greatly assisted conservation efforts
here.
Namunyak Community Lodge
Visit the most stunning lodge in the country set amongst some of the
richest tribal culture, migrating elephant herds, and some of Kenya's
most magical scenery.
Mount Kenya
Africa's second highest peak, at 17,057 feet
is a reasonably tough four to six day trek. Any hiker will be rewarded
with magnificent alpine vistas.
The Coast
 Kenya's tropical coastline boasts not only fine
beaches and reef; it also has many important remnants of the Swahili
traditions of East Africa.
The romantic island of Lamu being a definite highlight.
