Explorer ProgramThe "Best of East Africa" (open to anyone)Our very popular Explorer Program takes place every year in February. It is the trip of a lifetime, and our 30 years of safari experience ensure that you return home with the very best experience, memories and photos.
We think that 2022 is a great time for a trip to Kenya and the perfect opportunity to see and photograph the amazing wildlife and breath-taking landscapes of this part of East Africa. Leave the stress of the past year behind as you watch the big cats [lions, cheetahs, leopards], elephants, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles and so much more. Meet the friendly people of Kenya and share stories. Why not watch the sun go down over the great Maasai Mara. Listen for the sounds of Africa as you rest in your secure luxury tented camp or enjoy the pleasure of fine dining in an unbelievable setting. We are making special arrangements for trips in 2022 in view of the pandemic. First of all, we are delaying the requirement for any deposits or payments for any of our programs. So our cautious approach requires simply an indication of interest on your part and approximate dates for your trip. An email to Brian at bandh01@telus.net will do. I will begin communicating with you on itineraries and dates as well as options. We will work out a plan for your trip. Then one month before the trip we would need a deposit of $500.US. We do suggest that you watch for good flights to Nairobi starting anytime and when you see a great deal, make your reservation with complete cancellation insurance. Prices for return flights Vancouver to Nairobi have been as low as $1050. Cdn but you have to watch for the offers. All accommodation and meals will be limited to facilities with enhanced hygiene and safety protocols. We will follow the best procedures for any site visit in order to minimize any risk of infection. Travel and game drives will be in safe comfortable Land Cruisers which are regularly cleaned, and passengers in each cruiser will be limited in number. Payments for the programs will only be required 2 weeks before the trip starts. From the time of receiving your notice of interest right up to your trip, we will keep you updated on any current health concerns in Kenya and on our itinerary and plans. We want you to feel safe and be safe. So, Kenya is waiting. Why not send me an email and say that you are interested?

Some comments on the coast options Before or after your safariAnother option would be to add a coast trip before your safari. Come to Nairobi before the safari, leave your luggage and then fly with us to the north coast at Watamu to relax for 5 days as you get over jet lag. The kids will love it. Then start your safari experience as above. Or as noted above, stay for a great coastal experience after your safari. North Coast – Watamu area An amazing beach location on the shores of the Marine National Park. A paradise for swimming, snorkeling and diving. Enjoy your stay at the award-winning, all-inclusive Turtle Bay Resort in Watamu. Rest in the sun, swim in the pools and warm ocean or take advantage of the many other opportunities and activities at the resort. Water aerobics anyone? Beach walks, games, camel rides, beach volleyball and more. Snorkel or SCUBA dive in the marine park. Evening entertainment and dancing. Return to Nairobi to begin your safari trip as described above. After your safari and north coat visit there is one more option
