Kenya Off the Beaten Path: Lions, Camels and Singing Wells

A stunning combination of some of Kenya’s most sought after private game reserves with unique, off-the-beaten path areas that see few crowds.

The pace is slow to allow you to savor the different settings and experience all of the facilities of your lodging as well as the activities offered by each.

This safari is perfect for those looking for traditional safari as well as seeking out captivating landscapes that offer active experiences and insights into local culture.
