Travel story

The land I thought I knew looked completely new.
Listen with a clear heart to the time that flows between encounters rather than the encounters themselves.
This was not a revisit, but a reunion.

-
A six-day trip to enjoy a second Kenya for those who have already experienced the classic safari.
Visit quiet reserves such as Ol Pejeta, Samburu, and Aberdare, where you'll discover a new sense of closeness with the animals.
Not exchanging glances, but sharing the air. We repeat such encounters.

Signature points

Discover another side of Kenya on routes off the beaten path

By choosing less-visited reserves such as Samburu and Ol Pejeta, you can enjoy a safari with calm and space.
This itinerary is packed with experiences that take you "one step further in."

Where deep encounters with rare animals are born

Encounters with species not seen in other reserves, such as Samburu endemics and the northern white rhino.
There is a sense of proximity that approaches "understanding" rather than mere observation.

Quiet moments where the landscape itself seems to speak

Stay in highlands overlooking Mount Kenya and in the Aberdare forests to experience nature's expressions different from the savannah.
This is a journey to savor the space itself, not just to see the animals.
