BACK INTO AFRICA: WILD VIA PRIVATE AIR For those guests who are yearning to get out into nature…now

Few destinations evoke the classic romance of Kenya. With its sprawling savannas that sustain great herds of game, alkaline lakes dotted with flamingoes, lacy acacia forests and snowcapped mountains, Kenya offers a diverse mosaic of nature encounters. The legendary Maasai Mara hosts the famous Big Five, while the Laikipia Plateau is home to endangered rhinos and many unique subspecies. And there’s never been a more appealing time to experience it, with tourist numbers lower than they’ve been in decades and likely ever will be again. And because we stay in remote areas in our own exclusive private mobile camps, you’ll have the ultimate in a socially distanced travel experience. We’ve designed this special itinerary to enhance isolation especially as a response to COVID-19. With our own private chartered flights between locations, and private open-air vehicles with only four guests per truck, plus well-vetted sanitation protocols, we provide you with an exclusive opportunity to get back out into nature with safety front of mind.

SPECIAL FEATURES IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19

Our own private luxury camps exclusively for Nat Hab guests Open-sided safari trucks with just four guests per vehicle Private air charters with only our small group No single surcharge fees All staff have been tested, have a clearance certificate and have been trained by the Red Cross in ‘COVID Sensitization’
