Kenya Holidays
With a background of guiding in East Africa and independent travel through much of Eastern Africa, Illona has a wealth of experience and a great passion for this beautiful and hugely diverse country. From the snow-capped peaks and rugged glacier-clad summits of Mount Kenya, to the famous plains of the Maasai Mara, to the wild and untamed coastline.
Kenya is a great destination for both those of you who have never been to Africa and those of you who have seen much of what the continent has to offer. We have such a wealth of knowledge of the country that we can offer you the wonderful experiences you imagine whilst avoiding the tourist masses in certain areas. Kenya has so much to offer and we can help tailor make an itinerary to meet your hopes and expectations. A Kenyan holiday or safari is also ideal for honeymoons and weddings and we can tailor a wedding package for you to take all the stress out of your big day.
Most flights to Kenya are direct and overnight, this allows you to depart London in the evening and be in your safari camp by lunch time the next day.
The best time to go to Kenya is from November to March and again from July to November when the country is bathed in sunshine and both the game reserves and the coastal areas are at their best. During the long rains between April and June you may find some more remote camps are inaccessible but areas such as the Masai Mara and Laikipia will still offer wildlife opportunities and the green season is a great time to find some elusive migrating birds. As the weather is so favourable in our summer school holidays, Kenya is a wonderful destination for the whole family to enjoy a safari.
The open plains of the famous Maasai Mara provide the perfect setting for wildlife safaris on horseback or by 4x4. Laikipia and the north of Kenya are perfect for a camel or walking safari. The Eastern Great Rift Valley has crystallised salt lakes, famous for the large flocks of flamingo that feed on the lakes’ crustaceans. There are also 536 kilometres of spectacular tropical coastline, dotted with remote, beautiful islands that offer all kinds of water-based activities, from snorkelling and scuba diving to water skiing and kite surfing - or pure, undisturbed relaxation.
