Welcome to the cradle of humanity, Kenya!Crossed by the Great Rift Valley, where the oldest hominid skeletons were found, Kenya is a country of varied landscapes. From the tropical Indian Ocean coastline, to the beautiful shores of Lake Victoria, to the towering 5200 meter high Mount Kenya, Kenya promises to provide diversity. Kenya road trips allow you to explore this diverse regions and meet some of the 70 different ethnic groups which make up the population of Kenya, including the famous Maasai people, the masters of the savannahs of the Masai Mara. Your Kenya road trip will take you through some of the greatest African national parks, including Amboseli and Meru. You can also visit the Kenyan coast and the port of Mombasa, which still holds the memories of Arabian and Portuguese traders who used to fly the waters of the Indian Ocean

"It was a BRILLIANT holiday, we all loved it. Given all that we did and saw, it felt a lot longer than two weeks – possibly the best family holiday ever. The itinerary was great, with a really nice mix of camps and scenery, so eight days in the bush didn’t feel too much. Connections were slick, short and efficient, ground staff were super helpful. Having the majority of time in conservancies rather than national parks was absolutely right – we needed the variety of walks, night drives, bush meals, etc., or else too much sedentary truck time. Great job by our consultant and all at Original. Thank you."

"James - thank you. We had a truly wonderful and memorable trip. Everything that Original Travel had a hand in was perfect. Our time at Lewa was perfect and Sirikoi is very special. Sarara was also great and we loved the Samburu experience. Kinondo Kwetu is also a special place. I was not expecting the food to be a highlight, but it was a revelation. We will go back to Kenya. We will go back to Sirikoi. We will probably go back to Sarara. We are properly happy punters. James and Team – thank you. "

"Everything was absolutely pitch perfect - it really could not have been improved upon! It was a magical experience. The time spent with various Samburu men & women was incredibly interesting. I really appreciated the fact that all three places were either set up for / run by / contributing to & therefore truly part of the local community - it really showed. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh & wonderful, as were ALL the staff & guides. I cannot wait to go back! Thank you to James & all the team at Original Travel. "
