Why this trip

In Samburu in Kenia, we work out with you how much privacy you want, from a quiet stretch of beach to accommodation that sits as much as possible on its own, and choose accordingly. Around Samburu National Reserve, Buffalo Springs National Reserve and Kalama Community Conservancy, days can alternate between beach, water and calm without you having to keep to a schedule, and excursions remain optional. According to our country information, the best time to travel to Kenia is agreed individually, and for islands we also check how weather and water affect the journey and daily life.

Getting to an island like Samburu often involves several legs, such as a flight, a boat or a seaplane, and we plan the connections with buffers so that you arrive without haste. We talk with you on a video call about your expectations of seclusion, because anyone seeking calm in Samburu needs different planning from someone who also wants excursions or water sports. For families and couples in Samburu, we clarify meals, healthcare and excursion options in advance, so that seclusion does not become a limitation but stays planned.
