Kenya is where the concept of the safari was born. US President Theodore Roosevelt and Edward Prince of Wales popularised the idea of travelling through the African bush, meeting its peoples and seeing its extraordinary array of wildlife. A century later, Sanctuary Retreats has perfected the art of the safari – and Kenya remains at its core.

Kenya offers an incredible diversity of landscapes and some of the highest concentrations of wildlife in the world. In its south lies the stunning Masai Mara National Reserve famous for its incredible viewing and a key part of the great annual “migration”. Elephant mingle with vast herds of zebra, wildebeest and buffalo. Leopard, cheetah and lion thrive on the Kenyan plains, and large numbers of crocodile and hippo inhabit the Mara River. Naturally, Sanctuary’s highly trained guides know all the best places in which to see them.

Blessed with a huge array of activities – from ballooning and horse-riding to bush-walking, camel trekking, helicopter safaris and vintage biplane excursions – Kenya will always be a fabulous holiday destination. Explore this fascinating country in style with Sanctuary Retreats.
