No template. No catalogue. Only your dates, your party, and a blank atelier sheet.

No template. No catalogue. Only your dates, your party, and a blank atelier sheet. Helicopter arrivals, whole-camp buyouts, a working photographer, and a direct line to the founder. This is Kenya without compromise — composed entirely around you.

— Note —

Private Kenya runs year-round. Your trip director will advise on the optimal timing for your specific itinerary — migration season, dry season photography, or a quiet green-season buyout at a fraction of peak pricing.

  • Personal trip director from arrival to departure
  • Helicopter arrivals and inter-camp transfers
  • Whole-camp, villa and stone-house buyouts
  • Resident professional photographer throughout
  • VIP airport facilitation, both directions
  • Printed journey book and edited photo archive on departure
