Kenya with kids safari vacation

Planet

Making a positive difference for both people and the planet sits at the heart of our trips worldwide, and Kenya is a great example of how thoughtful travel can have real impact. With its iconic savannahs, vital wildlife corridors and strong community-led conservation projects, Kenya is a place where responsible tourism really matters.
We work with small-scale, locally owned lodges and camps rather than large international hotel chains. This not only creates a more personal, meaningful experience for you, but also ensures tourism income supports local jobs and businesses. Many of the places we use are carefully designed to blend into their surroundings, using solar energy, managing water use responsibly and keeping guest numbers low.
Conservation is closely tied to where you stay and what you experience. In areas such as the Maasai Mara, Amboseli and the Rift Valley, park fees and conservation levies help fund wildlife protection, habitat management and local community initiatives. Safaris are led by experienced local guides who follow ethical wildlife-viewing practices and always put animal welfare first.
Responsible travel goes beyond accommodation. We favour a slower travel pace, avoid unnecessary internal flights where possible, and share practical advice on reducing waste and respecting local customs. All wildlife experiences are guided by our animal welfare policy, developed with independent experts Animondial, to ensure they are ethical and conservation-led.
As a business, we aim to practise what we stand for. Our Brighton-based team works from a B-Corp-certified office, operates largely paper-free and partners with Earthly to support nature-based projects that remove carbon, restore biodiversity and support local livelihoods. A small contribution is included in every itinerary, helping protect the landscapes and communities that make travel through Kenya so special.

People

The accommodation we work with in Kenya follows the same ethos we apply across our trips worldwide: small-scale, characterful lodges and camps that are locally owned, rooted in their surroundings and thoughtfully run, rather than large international hotel chains. Kenya offers some excellent examples of this approach, from tented camps on open savannah to lodges overlooking lakes and wetlands, all while supporting local jobs and community livelihoods.

We strengthen local economic impact by working with locally owned excursion providers wherever possible. Throughout your trip, you’ll be guided by experienced Kenyan guides, whether on game drives in national parks, walking with community guides, or learning more about the country’s rich wildlife and landscapes. Their first-hand knowledge adds depth to each experience and helps ensure tourism income stays within the local economy.

A key part of our itineraries is close collaboration with in-country partners based in Kenya. These local teams help shape each journey from the outset, offering insight into daily life and enabling us to steer away from overused routes. This results in more meaningful experiences, reduces pressure on busy areas and supports the Kenyan economy long before you arrive, as local partners are involved in planning and operations from day one.

Our accommodation partners and local suppliers are strongly committed to conservation and the protection of Kenya’s natural heritage. Many operate in or near protected areas and contribute directly through park fees, conservation levies and community projects that support wildlife protection and habitat management. Guests are also given clear guidance on responsible travel, including respectful wildlife viewing, minimising environmental impact and being mindful of local customs and cultural traditions.
