Walking Safaris/Trekking Safaris in Kenya
We have several different options when it comes to walking and trekking safaris in Kenya.

Our main expeditions are on average 3 to 4 days in length and we visit both the Loita and Chyulu Hills regions. Both destinations are truly wilderness locations.

Our treks are not limited to these regions, we can customize walking safaris to many different locations across Kenya and beyond.
