Kenya Holidays 2012, 2013

Kenya is the birthplace of Abercrombie & Kent and famed for its wide-open spaces, savannahs, and astounding array of wildlife, crater lakes, snow-capped mountains and golden beaches. It is the ideal country for luxury Kenya safaris and Kenya holidays, which are always unique and always unforgettable.

Kenya holidays 2012, 2013 and beyond with Abercrombie & Kent are totally bespoke.  Every experience is personal and built on our wealth of knowledge and expertise, offering privileged access to exclusive accommodation (from stylish bush homes to secluded tented camps), locations and experiences and an authentic flavour of the real Kenya.  A&K luxury Kenya safaris are as rich and varied as Kenya itself.

Undoubtedly the best way to experience the African bush is by sleeping under canvas.  We provide the utmost luxury in our Private Mobile Camping for the very best Kenya safari, ensuring maximum privacy and that no compromises are made to guarantee your comfort is of the highest standard.

Lewa Downs, hailed as one of Kenya's biggest conservation successes. Endangered species abound, ranging from the grevy's zebra to sitatunga and oryx. Amboseli, a relatively small park in the south of the country, is famed for herds of elephants and stunning views of Kilimanjaro which forms a stunning backdrop to your Kenya safari. To the east, Tsavo is the largest National Park in the country, a place to really discover the secrets of the bush. To the north, in the arid lowlands beyond Mount Kenya, is the Samburu National Reserve. Lodges in the park are dotted along the river and offer a spectacular Samburu safari experience including game drives, walking safaris and a unique way to look at game by doing a camel safari.

Meanwhile, stretching through the centre of the country, the Rift Valley is the greatest geological fault in the world and one of the last refuges of the endangered black rhino, Laikipia Plateau, is located along the eastern escarpment. Abercrombie & Kent brings you the selection of the very best luxury Laikipia lodges. For birds, wildlife and visitors to Kenya it is the deep blue waters of the crater lakes that prove irresistible magnets. Lake Naivasha at 1880 meters is the higher of the Rift Valley Lakes and provides habitats for over 350 species of birds. Lake Victoria is the largest body of fresh water in Africa. Only 5% of the lake belongs to Kenya, with its neighbours Uganda and Tanzania owning the rest. Lake Victoria's birdlife is outstanding, small islets contain huge nesting colonies of egrets, cormorants and gannets and territorial fish eagles patrol every 100 yards.

To the west the Masai Mara is the northern tip of the great Serengeti ecosystem, a wedge of short-grassed plains and a haven for game of all kinds. The 'Big Five', the high point of a Kenya safari holiday, are resident in higher concentrations here than perhaps anywhere else. Our hand picked Masai Mara safari camps offer dramatic game viewing and exceptional standards of service. 

Kenya holidays are not all about safari and such a wealth of scenic contrasts is complemented by the palm fringed Indian Ocean coastline. Lamu is the perfect place for Kenya beach holidays with a difference, a truly unique destination. Immerse yourself in a coastal culture as rich and rewarding as the local Swahili cuisine.
