Kenya is the original safari destination and offers a huge variety of options to its visitors, from quintessential grassland savannas, afro-montane rainforests, idyllic beaches, authentic cultural experiences to secret wilderness hideaways. For the discerning traveller wanting privacy, exclusivity, luxury, great cuisine and phenomenal immersion into wilderness, Andreas can create the ultimate, bespoke itinerary.

Having developed relationships with some of Kenya’s best operators, Andreas has the access and intimate knowledge of some extraordinary properties and reserves. Each safari will be delivered using the best combination of his experience and hosting skills with local cultural expertise.

Many of these properties are in partnership with local communities who directly benefit from guests at each camp and therefore the wildlife they protect on their land. Andreas selects his partners for their highest possible conservation ethics and along with their support for local communities, sustainable energy generation, water preservation and ethical guiding standards are all vital considerations.

 

As a partner of Ker & Downey Safaris, Andreas has access to the best luxury mobile camping equipment on the market. These camps, can be set up in any Kenyan wilderness imagineable, taking advantage of seasonal wildlife movements, genuine opportunities for cultural interactions or breathtaking landscapes.

Access to the camps and lodges can be arranged in a private vehicle. However, so far off the beaten path are some of these places that they can only be reliably accessed by air. Thankfully Kenya has some of the region’s best plane and helicopter charter operators, specialising in accessing remote wilderness and lodges. Scenic flights and access to remote natural attractions are all possible too.

 

Southern Africa

Andreas also has a similar network of reserves and properties in Southern Africa, ranging from rustic bush-camps to World-famous luxurious lodges. Get in touch to find out more.

 

Adventure

An alternative to the established lodges is fly-camping. In partnership with some of Kenya’s best operators, one can have an exclusive temporary camp set up to maximise private wilderness immersion or to take advantage of seasonal wildlife movements such as the great Serengeti-Mara migration. From simple and rustic to en-suite luxury, these camps can be created to match budgets and desires.

Always keen to explore unchartered territory, seek adventure and travel the unbeaten path, why not join Andreas on specialist trips to look for rare endemics, local specials and bizarre phenomenons, be they melanistic cats, critically endangered birds and plants or even fascinating volcanic activity.

 

Depending on the location, activities that can be arranged include:

  • Game drives – morning, afternoon, all-day and night-time
  • Nature walks - focussing on ecology, botany, tracks, arthropods and cultural significances
  • Trails to track and safely approach wildlife
  • Cultural experiences and community visits
  • Specialist birding activities
  • Astronomy and astrology
  • Horse and camel safaris
