On Safar, many a time all you get is the best part of the animals anatomy, other time its better to capture a moment in black & white. However, there could be a time when the heart is in your mouth and the laundry facilities may do better, when you have a 7 ton elephant a eyeing you through those long eyelashes.
There again, there are those sweet moments and the heart melts and all you want to do is pet that little Dok Dik or lion cub, then a huge excited pulse beats through you when a lucky break happens and a striped hyena suddenly graces you with its presence and the next minute a cheetah wants to look through your lens and just as you are putting away your camera, a stunning scenes with the true poser and a little special light happens one just can’t take it anymore – too much excitement for one day!

We are excited about hosting you on Safari, when is your next adrenaline rush adventure? Of course with Olive Trek Safaris – we will do all we can to give you the best

Oh, the glamorous life of a safari-goer! It's all majestic sunsets and perfectly posed predators, right? Right?!
Well, not exactly. If you’ve ever spent an absolute fortune to fly across the world just to get a high-definition photo of a baboon’s backside, you know the struggle.
Here is what actually happens out in the bush:

The "Nice Butt" Phase
Many a time on safari, the only view a majestic creature will grant you is a spectacular shot of its rear anatomy. Facing the camera? Absolutely not. Walking away at a glacial pace? You bet. When the lighting is gorgeous but you're looking at a rhino’s tail, that's your cue to switch the camera to Dramatic Black & White and pretend it’s "fine art." 🎨

The "I Need New Pants" Moment
But then... the wind shifts. The bushes part. And suddenly, you are locked in a staring contest with a 7-ton elephant. She is eyeing you down through eyelashes that look like luxury lash extensions, and your heart instantly climbs into your throat. Let's just say, in that moment, you start deeply appreciating the lodge’s overnight laundry facilities. 💩👖

The Emotional Rollercoaster
Once your adrenaline settles, safari decides to give you whiplash:

The Cute Attack: A tiny, delicate Dik-Dik or a fluffy lion cub blinks at you, and your heart completely melts. You instantly forget these are wild animals and just want to pocket them and take them home.

The "Holy Crap!" Lucky Break: Your pulse goes from zero to a hundred because a rare, elusive striped hyena decides to grace you with its punk-rock presence.

The Personal Space Invader: A curious cheetah strolls up and decides your camera lens looks like a great place to check its reflection.

The Final Straw
Finally, you decide your nervous system has had enough. You pack up your gear, click the lens cap on, and sigh with relief.
And that is exactly when the wild decides to show off.
The ultimate animal poser, a grevy zebra steps into the perfect, golden-hour, heavenly-god-ray lighting and dramatic dark skies. It is a scene so stunning it practically begs for a National Geographic cover.
Honestly? You just can’t take it anymore. Too much excitement for one day! Time to head back to camp, grab a gin and tonic, and wash those pants.

We are already excited about hosting you on the plains. So tell us, when is your next adrenaline rush adventure? Of course, it has to be with Olive Trek Safaris—we will do all we can to give you the best, most unforgettable safari memories. Space is filling up, so let's get you booked and start planning today!

Olive Trek Safaris, we love to spoil you!
Escape to the Timeless Heart of Africa
Deep in the soul of Africa, far from the madding crowd, we invite you to set your spirit free and revel in the nostalgic romance of a safari of yesteryear. Here, every day is a new adventure, unfolding with such magic that the sun sets far sooner than you’d ever wish.

Evenings Written in the Stars
After a thrilling day in the wild, there is something truly exceptional—and deeply romantic—about gathering around the campfire. Imagine reminiscing about the day’s sightings while savoring tender, ranch-raised BBQ beef and your favorite cocktail.
As the wood fire crackles, you’ll be serenaded by the delicate melodies of the African night’s orchestra. It’s nature’s own broadcast, and we promise never to change the channel.

Local Charm & Warm Company
What’s holding you back? Our local bar is always open, complete with the "usual characters" propping up the counter—though we can vouch that ours are reasonably well-behaved! Which colorful characters do you leave behind at yours?
At Olive Trek Safaris, we don’t just work; we share the moments we love with the friends we cherish. It is truly special, and we simply love to spoil you.
Your African story is waiting to be written.

“The eye never forgets what the heart has seen.” ~ African proverb

The Safari Lowdown (According to the Agamas) – BUT all game drives are not as similar, but each have a twist.

Mr. Agama: (Peeking over a rock) "Right then, what’s all this 'safari' business actually about?"
Mrs. Agama: (Standing tall, sounding very important) "Listen close, darling. I’ll keep it brief—though in the wild, nothing is ever simple."
The Rude Awakening: It starts in the dark with a gentle ‘Hodi’ (the polite version of 'get out of bed!'). You get a tray of 'wake-up juice' or a slurp of coffee and some cookies to bribe you into your latest shining khaki gear.

The Magic Hour: We head out before the sun can even find Mount Kenya. It’s spectacular, but let’s be honest—we’re really just looking for someone doing something they shouldn't be.

The Morning drive: You’ll spot a Lion marching along; he’s clearly late for a very important committee meeting on 'How to Be King.'

The Heavyweights: You might meet a Rhino who clearly didn't get the memo about personal space, an Elephant using a boulder as a bidet, or a Baboon having a mid-morning existential crisis.

The Drama: Then there’s the dining situation. A Hyena stealing a Cheetah’s hard-earned brunch (and acting like he found it on the floor), and the Jackals—the ultimate 'dine-and-dash' experts— but some prefer a takeaway.

The Grand Finale: While the scavengers are squabbling over scraps, we prefer to do things with a bit of class. A white tablecloth, a view to die for, and a breakfast that doesn't involve running for your life!

Mrs. Agama: "So, essentially, it's a mix of stunning views, questionable manners, and a lot of stolen lunches."
Mr. Agama: "Sounds just like home, dear."

Let’s be real: planning a safari can be a total beast. If your search history is currently a tangled mess of "how to not get eaten" and "best khaki for my skin tone," you’ve likely reached the Deep Contemplation stage—staring at your screen and scratching your chin like a perplexed Gorilla trying to solve a Rubik’s cube.

We know the feeling. You’ve searched every corner of the internet and you’re still not sure where to start, leaving you feeling like those Baboons balanced precariously on a cliff edge, wondering if throwing yourself off is a viable alternative to picking a flight.
Naturally, you do the responsible thing: you reach for a cocktail. But one drink leads to three, and after behaving like a very thirsty Baboon at a watering hole, you realize you’ve overdone the double Gin & Tonics. Suddenly, the world is spinning, and the only way to find balance is to have a nap upside down like a confused primate in a tree.

Eventually, the hangover clears and the family meeting begins. You wait for "The Boss"—the Silverback of the house—to sit in deep thought and finally grunt his approval. There might be a little scrap between the kids over who gets the best binoculars, but once the "Yes" is secured, the transformation begins. You start dressing the part in fine clothes that would make a Samburu Warrior nod in respect, and before you know it, you’re doing a victory dance like the Samburu in the middle of your living room.

At Olive Trek Safaris, we’ll be honest—we don’t have a Secretary (unless you count the bird with the fancy eyelashes and the lethal kick), but we are a family with big hearts and even bigger intentions. We’re here to turn that "what if" into "oh wow" without the mental breakdown.

Stop monkeying around with travel sites and let us handle the wild stuff. Fancy a trek?

Honoring the Leopard:
A little late, perhaps, but a creature this timeless deserves a moment that isn't dictated by the calendar. Among the world’s great felids, the leopard exists as a masterclass in contradiction: a powerhouse of muscle that moves with the weightlessness of a ghost.

The Art of the Invisible
To watch a leopard is to witness a living shadow. They don’t merely move; they glide. Whether they are navigating the tangled geometry of the undergrowth or stalking through tall grass, they possess a liquid grace that seems to defy the friction of the earth.
They are the ultimate opportunists of the ecosystem, blending into the dappled light with a coat of "rosettes" that act as nature's most sophisticated camouflage. One moment, the bush is still; the next, a golden specter appears—only to vanish again before your eyes can truly register the sight.

Nonchalance as an Art Form
There is a specific, quiet arrogance to the leopard. We see it in the way they:
Drape themselves over granite kopjes with a languid, heavy ease.
Dangle a solitary paw from an Acacia branch, seemingly indifferent to the world below.
Survey their kingdom with a gaze that is both piercing and entirely unimpressed.
This apparent "carefree" attitude is, of course, the confidence of a supreme predator. They carry the weight of the wilderness on their shoulders without ever letting it break their stride.

A Vital Presence
We are profoundly fortunate to share our planet with these amazing felines. As apex predators, leopards are more than just a beautiful sight on a safari; they are essential architects of our ecosystem. They maintain the delicate balance of prey populations, ensuring the health and vitality of the landscapes they inhabit.
To lose the leopard would be to lose the soul of the wild. So, here is to the elusive, the elegant, and the enduring—the cat that reminds us that true power doesn't need to roar to be felt.

"The leopard is the personification of the wild: silent, secret, and spectacular."

Join us on Safari - Olive Trek Safaris – we celebrate these amazing creatures.

Our Backyard "Menu"
Lets think of this as nature’s most exclusive guest list. We’ve got leopards playing hide-and-seek in the grass, buffalo giving you the "tough guy" stare-down, and cheetahs who think they’re too fast for your camera shutter.
Throw in an inquisitive Grevy zebra, a jackal looking for trouble, and an elephant who clearly wants to know your business. Just remember: these "menu items" don't come with a "skip-to-the-front" pass.

The 5 - ton Alarm Clock
We get it—the sun is warm, the Jeep is swaying, and a nap sounds great. But be warned: if you nod off, the bush has its own way of waking you up.
A charging elephant is a better wake-up call than a triple G & T, and the adrenaline rush beats any happy-hour cocktail. Though, after a face-to-face with a 5 ton welcoming committee, you’ll definitely be the first one at the bar, or perhaps the laundry!

The Photo Lineup (In Case You Missed It):

The Leopard: Professional hide-and-seek champion.
The Buffalo: "You looking at me?"
The Lion: Proof that even kings love a 20-hour nap.
The Elephant: Our self-appointed security guard.
The Jackal: Definitely up to no good.
The Grevy Zebra: The neighborhood gossipmonger.
The Cheetah Pair: Looking for a drag race with a tortoise.

Nature doesn't have a "snooze" button, and you don't want to wake up as the headline on someone else’s social media.

We provide the lions, but our people provide the "Happily Ever After."

The Heart of the Adventure
As Olive Trek Safaris so beautifully puts it, you don't just leave with photos; you leave a piece of your soul behind.
Your room stewards, they enter, they warm, they vanish and a "bush baby" (the legendary hot water bottle) will be tucked under your sheets like a warm, rubbery hug. The laundry is folded with care, the vehicles are scrubbed until they sparkle (despite the dust’s best efforts), and every meal is served with a genuine warmth that makes you feel like family, not just a guest.
The spotters who are your soul searchers will find that animal two miles away and nonchalantly point it out with a smile.
To the people behind the scenes—the laundry heroes, the path-sweepers, the tent-zippers, and the sunrise-coffee-bringers—we salute you. You are the reason the "magic" happens.
Karibu Sana!
It is often said that the wildlife is the heart of a safari, but the staff? They are undoubtedly the soul. While the lions and elephants get the magazine covers, it’s the human "fairies" of the bush who turn a simple trip into a lifelong memory.
Here is a tribute to those incredible teams who make the magic look effortless.

Is a Safari Romantic?
That’s a question only your heartbeat can answer.

Ali and I have spent our lives together exploring, dreaming, and working in this beautiful dust. You could say we’re "challenge junkies" who specialize in turning the impossible into the possible. Every day, we thank our lucky stars for the incredible people who join our adventures—especially our "exceptional repeat offenders" who just can't stay away

A Note from our Travelers
“Another great safari with Olive Trek Safaris & Peter Cadot (our second!)- with great animal action, not only seeing the animals, but also their behavior, Peter uses his knowledge of photography to put his guests in the best possible positions for great photos. Peter has become our friend and we look forward to seeing him and his charming wife Ali again in the future!
Eric & Carol - St Louise

“All we can say is WOW! We have been to Africa before, but Peter and Ali, you raised our experiences to a whole new level.” — Tom & Rebecca, NY

There is a certain sensuality to this land. It’s in the golden light that clings to the skin at dusk and the deep, rhythmic thrum of the wild that mirrors your own heartbeat. These landscapes are breathtaking enough to strip away any pretense, turning even the most hardened man into a soft, captivated soul.

What more can we say? Olive Trek Safaris is waiting to show you the wild side of life. Grab your hat, bring your heart, and let the adventures begin!

Olive Trek Safaris – “We believe in heaven, we call it Africa”
Let us lead you into the unknown for those spiritual moments!

Welcome to the Mathews Range, a place where the landscape looks like it’s been practicing yoga for three centuries and finally got stuck. Located north of Nairobi, this is the desert’s true heartbeat—a land of stark, jaw-dropping beauty where the hills stretch out like the gnarled, arthritic limbs of an ancient giant taking a very long nap.
The Rhythm of the Earth
In this sun-scorched corner of the world, you’ll witness a scene so soulful it makes a Broadway musical look like a rehearsal. Enter the Singing Wells: an ancient Samburu tradition where warriors descend into dry riverbeds to excavate water from the sand.
As they dig, they chant rhythmic, hypnotic melodies—not for the charts, but to call their cattle and livestock to water. It’s a haunting, deeply private exchange between man and beast that resonates through the very bedrock.
No photos, Just Soul - A quick heads-up for the "do it for the 'Gram" crowd: Photography is strictly forbidden. The Samburu believe a camera lens might just sn**ch a piece of their soul, and frankly, your iPhone 27 Pro Max isn't worth the spiritual heist. You’ll have to rely on your "biological hard drive"—your memory—to store this one.
The After-Party - Once the warriors and their herds head home, the hospitality doesn't end. In a beautiful nod to Mother Nature, they leave the hand-dug wells open for the local VIPs.
The Guests: Elephants, lesser kudu, and various desert wanderers.
The Vibe: A literal "watering hole" where the giants of the wild come to quench their thirst.
The Philosophy: A profound respect for conservation that proves humans and wildlife can share a drink without it ending in a bar fight.
It’s raw, it’s dusty, and it’s arguably the most "unplugged" experience you’ll ever have.
