Looking back at 2024, not only was it a busy year but we were also incredibly lucky to experience spectacular wildlife throughout the season.

In a recent piece that sung true for us, Suzanne Bayly of Classic Portfolio wrote that luxury is no longer solely defined by opulent amenities or exclusive experiences. Instead, it is the unparalleled luxury of space and silence that is emerging as the ultimate indulgence when travelling.

The ideal opportunity to experience the beauty of Kenya, combining the more authentic safari experience of camping in the wild in both the Meru National Park and the Mara Triangle, with a few nights at the exclusive Laragai House on the Borana Conservancy.

Looking back at the early days of the company, Tony Church, founder of Safaris Unlimited, recalls one of his first reconnaissance trips and the drama that ensued following a ride through a field of vicious African stinging nettles.

Kenya has experienced high levels of deforestation, but to counter this trend, a wonderful initiative has been created: Seedballs Kenya has pioneered a low cost method of mass producing seedballs for the efficient reintroduction of trees and grass species into degraded areas in Africa. A fantastic enterprise that we wholeheartedly support.

Our wildlife safaris offer our clients the chance to immerse themselves fully in nature.  So often in our busy lives we forget that we too are part of nature – but, in slowing down and spending time in the wild, with nothing but the savannah or jungle for as far as the eye can see – we are able to reconnect, both with ourselves and with nature. It is a grounding and truly humbling experience.
