Growing up I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time in Kenya - my father lived in Nairobi - and those early years left a mark on me that has never really faded.
So I know itās true to say that every safari in Kenya can look completely different depending on how itās designed.
A classic safari might combine Laikipia and the Maasai Mara with the coast, ideal for families and first-time visitors, balancing exceptional wildlife with variety and ease.
A romantic under-canvas journey moves through Meru, Kalepo and the Mara, centred around exclusive-use camps, slower pacing and atmospheric experiences, from bush dinners to golden-hour game drives.
For those seeking something more remote, Kenyaās ancient north offers a deeply immersive expedition through Samburuland and the Mathews Range, with walking safaris, camel-led journeys and access to regions rarely explored by travellers.
With increased direct flights from London to Nairobi starting June 1, a Kenyan safari has never been so accessible.
