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 2013, 2014 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.

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, and arguably the highlight of a Kenyan safari. The 'Big Five' are resident in high concentrations and our hand-picked Masai Mara safari camps offer dramatic game viewing and exceptional standards of service away from the crowds.

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 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 one of the natural wonders of the world and last refuges of the endangered black rhino, Laikipia Plateau. For birds, the deep blue waters of the crater lakes that prove irresistible magnets. The better known, such as the deep-green Lake Naivasha and, to a lesser extent, Lake Baringo, are fresh water, while Bagoria, Nakuru and Mgadai, are saline, and provide a food source for the vast flocks of pink flamingos which add a touch of brilliance to the natural beauty of the lakes.

The endless white sandy beaches and turquoise waters of the Kenyan coastline are the perfect finale to any East African safari or indeed a standalone family beach holiday. In the South, Msambweni House and Kinondo Kwetu are luxurious and secluded. And if you want a beach holiday with a difference, head north to enjoy the Swahili culture of Lamu.
