The Mara, Amboseli's elephants, Tsavo's red dust, the Rift Valley lakes, the coast and the mountain.
Kenya is where Velvet Wild started — and where we know every track, camp and tide. Six signature destinations cover the country's full range: big-cat plains, elephant country beneath Kilimanjaro, Tsavo's vast red wilderness, flamingo-lined Rift Valley lakes, 500km of Indian Ocean coast, and the high trails of Mount Kenya.
- ✓ Maasai Mara — Big Five & the Great Migration
- ✓ Amboseli & Tsavo — elephant country
- ✓ Lake Nakuru — rhinos & flamingos
- ✓ Diani & Mombasa — white-sand coast
- ✓ Mount Kenya — climbs & treks
